Entering Commands

A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a
command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the
command show interfaces status
is an argument that specifies the interface type, and 1 specifies the port.
To enter the commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters
after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator,
enter:
switchxxxxxx(config)# username admin secret Nn148279
When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The standard
command to request help is ?.

of compulsory parameters separated with the |
character. One option must be selected. For example,
flowcontrol {auto | on | off} means that for the
flowcontrol command, either auto, on, or off must be
selected.
