12:  Command Reference

12.1   Overview

This chapter describes the ETS command set. Each command and its syntax is shown, as well as whether 

or not the command is restricted to the privileged user.

Note:

See Set Privileged/Noprivileged on page 12-56 for information on changing your 

port to privileged status.

The following conventions are used in the syntax diagrams of this chapter:

◆

Bold type denotes command keywords, which may be entered in upper, lower, or mixed case.

◆

Italics signal a user-supplied parameter, such as a particular port number or host name. Replace the 

italicized word with an entry that corresponds to your setup.

To preserve case and spaces, user-entered parameters must be enclosed in quotes.

◆

Brackets [ ] denote optional parameters. Multiple optional parameters from each set of brackets can 

be entered in any order or combination on a single command line, or items in brackets may be left out 

of the command entirely.

◆

Curly braces { } indicate that one and only one of the items enclosed within each set of braces must 

be used to complete the command.

12.2   Command Line Interface

Command line entry is both simple and powerful. Users can enter up to 132 characters on a command line, 

or abbreviate commands to a sequence of the smallest unique keywords (sometimes single characters). 

Commands are executed when the Return key is pressed or when the command line exceeds 132 characters. 

12.2.1   Command Completion

When the command completion feature is enabled, pressing the Tab key or the space bar will prompt the 

ETS to complete a partially-typed command for you, which can both save time and reduce errors. If the user-

entered characters are ambiguous, the ETS will alert you with a beep. Command completion is disabled by 

default. 

Note:

See Set/Define Port Command Completion on page 12-33 for details.
