Page 61: Example command about the target variable
Command syntax
A typical VSM CLI command string consists of three variables: a target device, a command, and
a clarifying parameter. The syntax of a VSM CLI command line is as follows:
target command
[
parameter=<option>
]
The following conventions apply to all VSM CLI command strings:
•
A basic command string includes identifying information about the target, along with a
command word and clarifying parameters, if required or desired.
•
Commands are not case sensitive.
•
Some target names can be abbreviated.
•
The VSM CLI does not support line-continuation characters. If all characters of a command
cannot fit on one line of the VSM CLI, the command wraps to the next line on the screen. The
maximum command length is 255 characters.
Example command
The following example shows the use of target, command, and parameter variables in a VSM CLI
command string to update network settings on a switch:
=> switch local network hostname=XXX dhcp=on gateway=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
•
Target variable:
switch local
•
Command variable:
network
•
Required parameter:
hostname=XXX
•
Optional parameter:
dhcp=off|on
•
Optional parameter:
gateway=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
