Menu Basics
The GbE Switch Module’s Command Line Interface (CLI) is used for viewing switch informa-
tion and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use the CLI for performing all levels of
switch configuration.
To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series
of menus and sub-menus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or sub-menus that are
available, along with a summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt
where you can enter any command appropriate to the current menu.
This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and short-
cuts that are commonly available from all the menus within the CLI.
