NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Reserved Keywords Keywords such as vlan, stp, and other 2nd level keywords, are determined to be reserved keywords and cannot be used as object names. This restriction applies to the specific word (vlan) only, while expanded versions (vlan2) can be used. A complete list of the reserved keywords for NETGEAR 8800 12.4 and later software is displayed in Table 8 of the NETGEAR 8800 User Manual. Any keyword that is not on this list can be used as an object name. Command Shortcuts Components are typically named using the create command. When you enter a command to configure a named component, you do not need to use the keyword of the component. For example, to create a VLAN, enter a VLAN name: create vlan engineering Once you have created the VLAN with a unique name, you can then eliminate the keyword vlan from all other commands that require the name to be entered (unless you used the same name for another category, such as STPD). For example, instead of entering the command: configure vlan engineering delete port 1:3,4:6 you could enter the following shortcut: configure engineering delete port 1:3,4:6 Port Numbering Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers use the parameter in the syntax. Note: The keyword all acts on all possible ports; it continues on all ports even if one port in the sequence fails. Numerical Ranges On the NETGEAR 8800, the port number is a combination of the slot number and the port number. The nomenclature for the port number is as follows: slot:port For example, if an I/O module that has a total of four ports is installed in slot 2 of the chassis, the following ports are valid: • 2:1 10 | Chapter 1.
