2 Using the CLI Introduction This chapter describes the basics of entering and editing the Dell PowerConnect 70xx Series Command Line Interface (CLI) commands and defines the command hierarchy. It also explains how to activate the CLI and implement its major functions. This chapter covers the following topics: • Entering and Editing CLI Commands • CLI Command Modes • Starting the CLI • Using CLI Functions and Tools Entering and Editing CLI Commands A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. The total numbe of characters that may be entered in a single command is limited to 1536 characters. Keywords identify a command and arguments specify configuration parameters.

When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The command is not selected by a menu but is entered manually. To see what commands are available in each mode or within an Interface Configuration, the CLI provides a method of displaying the available commands, the command syntax requirements and in some instances parameters required to complete the command. The standard command to request context-sensitive help is the key. Using the CLI 167
