Only IPv4 addresses are supported in this release.
Command line syntax
CLI input is case-insensitive except when otherwise noted. The general CLI syntax is as follows:
vcsu -a <command>
Parameters are extensions that provide extra information required for the execution of a particular command.
Whether or not a parameter is required depends on the specific action being executed.
For example, the version command includes parameters for IP address, username, password, and bay
location. The syntax is as follows:
vcsu -a version -i <IP> -u <USER> -p <PWD> [-b <BAY>]
NOTE:
When entering a username from a Linux command shell with the domain\username
format, use quotation marks around the username ("domain\username") so it is not expanded
by the Linux shell.
To display a single module and its current firmware version, enter the following:
vcsu -a version -i 192.168.1.100 -u Administrator -p password -b 1
