12 Command reference
This chapter describes the commands of the CLI, the formats in which they are presented, and the following
information for each:
• Access authority, page 97
• Syntax and operands, page 97
• Notes and examples, page 97
The commands are listed in ”Command listing” on page 98.
Access authority
The Authority paragraph in each command description indicates what types of sessions are required to
enter that command. Commands associated with monitoring tasks are available to all account names with
no special session requirement. Commands associated with configuration tasks are available only within
an Admin session. An account must have Admin authority to enter the Admin Start command, which
opens an Admin session.
Some commands require that you open additional editing sessions within an Admin session such as the
following:
• Commands that modify zoning require a Zoning Edit session, which is opened by the Zoning
Edit command. These commands include the Zone, Zoneset, and Zoning commands.
• Commands that modify device security require a Security Edit session, which is opened by the
Security Edit command. These commands include the Group, Security, and Securityset
commands.
• Commands that modify the switch configuration require a Config Edit session, which is opened by
the Config Edit command. These commands include all of the Set Config commands.
Syntax and operands
The Syntax heading defines the command syntax using the following convention:
command
oper
and
operand [value]
operand [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more operands.
Consider the following rules and conventions:
• Commands and operand are case insensitive.
• Required operand values appear in standard font: [value1]. Optional values are shown in italics:
[value].
• Underlined portions of the operand in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be
used. For example the Del
ete operand can be abbreviated Del.
The Operands heading lists and describes each operand and any applicable values.
Notes and examples
The Notes heading presents useful information about the command and its use, including special
applications or effects on other commands. The Examples heading presents sample screen captures of the
command and its output.
