Command Descriptions The information pertaining to each command in this reference guide is presented using a number of template fields. The fields are: • Description - This is a short and concise statement describing the commands functionality. • Syntax - The precise form to use when entering and issuing the command. The form conventions are described in the table shown under the section "Conventions" on page iv of this guide. • Syntax Description - A table where each row describes the optional or required arguments, and their use, that can be issued with the command. • Default - If the command sets a configuration value or administrative state of the switch then any default settings (i.e. without issuing the command) of the configuration is shown here. • Command Mode - The mode in which the command can be issued. The modes are either User EXEC, Privileged EXEC, Global Configuration or a specific configuration mode. These modes are described in the section titled "Command Modes" on page v below. • Command Usage - If necessary, a detailed description of the command and its various utilization scenarios is given here. • Example(s) - Each command is accompanied by a practical example of the command being issued in a suitable scenario. Command Modes There are several command modes available in the command-line interface (CLI). The set of commands available to the user depends on both the mode the user is currently in and their privilege level. For each case, the user can see all the commands that are available in a particular command mode by entering a question mark (?) at the system prompt. The command-line interface has five privilege levels: • Basic User - Privilege Level 1. This user account level has the lowest priority of the user accounts. The purpose of this type of user account level is for basic system checking. • Advanced User - Privilege Level 3. This user account level is allowed to configure the terminal control setting. This user account can only show limited information that is not related to security. • Power User - Privilege 8. This user account level can execute fewer commands than operator, including configura- tion commands other than the operator level and administrator level commands. iii
