Entering Command Line Interface Commands
Note that the commands are shown, with the exception of the zoning
commands, in alphabetical order to make them easier to locate.
Although the commands can be entered in any order, depending on
the results desired, the order shown in Table 1-2, CLI Command Tree,
page 1-4 for the zoning commands is a typical order in which the
zoning commands are entered.
Note that the order in which commands are entered determines the
order in which the show commands display the values. Refer to
Chapter 2, New and Changed Commands for examples of show
commands output.
Navigation of the
CLI Command Tree
Once the administrator or operator logs in and receives the Root>
prompt, the CLI commands are accessed by navigating up and down
the CLI command tree.
To move from the root through the any of the four extended
branches, enter the name of the next branch as shown in Table 1-2,
CLI Command Tree, page 1-4. For example, to use the config.port.name
command to configure the name for port 4 on the switch, this series of
commands is entered:
Root> config
