Dell Brocade G620 Brocade 8.0.1 Fabric OS Command Reference - Page 24

CLI usage conventions • switchName - Added a note in the description of the name field that the switchname which begins with numeric character should have atleast one alphabet. Switchname with all numeric character is not valid. Example switchname 12345678 is invalid. • zone - Removed all references of Admin Domain. CLI usage conventions • Some Fabric OS show commands display certain switch or fabric components in three-digit decimal numbers, for example, 003. When you use these numeric identifiers as inputs to other commands, you must remove the leading zeros; otherwise the commands will either fail or generate incorrect results. Adding zeros to any decimal number in a command input will cause that number to be treated as an Octal number. • The entire command line (both commands and options) is case-sensitive. Selected command names and options may also support Java-style capitalization. Java-style capitalization means that while bannershow and bannerShow will both work, BANNERSHOW and BannerShow will not. The options of commands on the other hand, are strictly case sensitive and therefore only lower case or Java-style capitalization can be entered depending on each option. This means that while the -USB option of the configDownload command works, but -usb will not. Refer to each syntax for explicit instructions on supported capitalization for each command and options. • When command examples in this guide show user input enclosed in quotation marks, the quotation marks are required. Example: zonecreate "zonename" requires that the value for zonename be in quotation marks. • Automatic page breaks in CLI command output displays are being phased out. Use the more option to display command output with page breaks: command | more. Do not use the more option in conjunction with help pages. Executing help command | more will display a "no manual entry for command" message. xxiv Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
