Command Reference Overview
Structure of this Guide
This guide documents each ExtremeWarePx command. Related commands are grouped together and
organized into chapters based on their most common usage. The chapters reßect the organization of the
Px Series Application Switch Installation and ConÞguration Guide . If a speciÞc command is relevant to a
wide variety of functions and could be included in a number of different chapters, we have attempted
to place the command in the most logical chapter. Within each chapter, commands appear in
alphabetical order. You can use the Index of Commands to locate speciÞc commands if they do not
appear where you expect to Þnd them.
For each command, the following information is provided:
¥ Command Syntax: The actual syntax of the command. The syntax conventions (the use of braces or
curly brackets, for example) are deÞned in the section ÒUnderstanding Command SyntaxÓ on
page 14.
¥ Description: A brief (one sentence) summary of what the command does.
¥ Syntax Description: The deÞnition of any keywords and options used in the command.
¥ Default: The defaults, if any, for this command. The default can be the default action of the
command if optional parameters are not provided, or it can be the default state of the switch (such
as for an enable/disable command).
¥ Usage Guidelines: Information to help you use the command. This may include prerequisites,
prohibitions, and related commands, as well as other information.
