1 Dell EMC Networking CLI Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N2200ON/N3000-ON/N3100-ON/N3200-ON Series Switches Introduction The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a network management application operated through an ASCII terminal without the use of a Graphic User Interface (GUI) driven software application. By directly entering commands, the user has greater configuration flexibility. The CLI is a basic command-line interpreter with command-line completion, in-line syntax help, and prior command recall. A switch can be configured and maintained by entering commands from the CLI, which is based solely on textual input and output with commands being entered by a terminal keyboard and the output displayed as text via a terminal monitor. The CLI can be accessed from a console terminal connected to an RS-232 port or through a Telnet/SSH session. Serial communication via a dedicated USB port is available on the N1100-ON Series switch. This guide describes how the CLI is structured, describes the command syntax, and describes the command functionality. This guide also provides guidelines for configuring the Dell® EMC™ Networking switch, and provides limited configuration examples. Basic installation is described in the User's Guide and must be completed before using this document. This document applies to the following switch firmware versions: • Version 6.7-N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N2200-ON/N3000ON/N3100-ON/N3200-ON Series switches Command Groups The system commands can be broken down into three sets of functional groups: Layer 2, Layer 3, and Utility.
