• The range may be specified in the following manner: (#-#) - a range from a particular instance to another instance (inclusive). For example, 1/g1-g10 indicates that the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1 to 10 on unit 1. (#, #, #) - a list of non-consecutive instances. For example, (1/g1, 1/g3,1/g5) indicates that the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1, 3, and 5 on unit 1. ranges and non-consecutive instances listed together. For example, (1/g1, 1/g3-g5, 1/g7) indicates that the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1, 7, and 3 to 5 on unit 1. NOTE: Each # must be a fully qualified port identifier, that is, type/, where unit is 1-12, port_type is g or xg and port_number is 1-24 or 1-48 in the case of port_type g and 1-4 for port_type xg. The following formats are allowed For LAG, use "interface range port-channel 1-48". • When operating on a range of objects, the CLI implementation hides the parameters that may not be configured in a range (for example, parameters that must be uniquely configured for each instance). • The CLI uses best effort when operating on a list of objects. If the user requests an operation on a list of objects, the CLI attempts to execute the operation on as many objects in the list as possible even if failure occurs for some of the items in the list. The CLI provides the user with a detailed list of all failures, listing the objects and the reasons for the failures. • Some parameters must be configured individually for each port or interface. Command Scripting The CLI can be used as a programmable management interface. To facilitate this function, any characters entered after the character are treated as a comment and ignored by the CLI. Also, the CLI allows the user to disable session timeouts. Using the CLI 139
