Introduction Limitation on Movements As the commands are entered, they are recorded in a history log. The limitations on movement that result from use of the history log are: • If a command has more than 60 characters, the command runs, but the command is not recorded in the history log, and the position in the tree does not change, as shown in the following example. Because the command is not recorded in the history, a subsequent asynchronous command (navigation command) cannot depend on it. Root> config zoning addWwnMem TheUltimateZone 10:00:00:00:C9:22:9B:64 Root> • Whenever the position in the CLI command tree moves to a new branch (for example, config to maint, config to config.port, or config.port to config), the history log is cleared. In this case, any asynchronous commands (for example, the up-arrow command [A or the up-arrow keyboard symbol) cannot move the position back towards the root, as shown in this example: Root> config Root.Config> port Root.Config.Port> [A Root.Config.Port> Parameters Some command parameters accept character strings that include spaces. Quotation marks are required when a string includes spaces. Config.System> location Building_24_Room_16 Config.System> location "Building 24 Room 16" If spaces are not included in a parameter that accepts a string, the quotation marks are not required around that string. To include quotation marks in a string, use the escape character (\) before the quotation marks. Config.System> location "Building 24 \"HP Lab\"" CLI reference guide for directors and edge switches 1-9
