U NDERSTANDING THE C OMMAND S YNTAX
A BBREVIATED S YNTAX
Abbreviated syntax is the shortest, most unambiguous, allowable abbreviation of a
command, parameter, or value. Typically, this is the first three letters of the command.
C OMMAND S HORTCUTS
All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name.
Components are named using the
create command. When you enter a command to
configure a named component, you do not need to use the keyword of the component.
For example, to create a VLAN, you must enter a unique VLAN name:
create vlan engineering
Once you have created the VLAN with a unique name, you can then eliminate the
keyword
vlan from all other commands that require the name to be entered. For
example, instead of entering the command
config vlan engineering delete port 1-3,6
you could enter the following shortcut:
config engineering delete port 1-3, 6
N UMERICAL R ANGES
Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers use the parameter
<portlist> in the syntax. A portlist can be a range of numbers, for example:
port 1-3
You can add additional port numbers to the list, separated by a comma:
port 1-3,6,8
N AMES
All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Names
must begin with an alphabetical character delimited by whitespace, unless enclosed in
quotation marks.
