12 CLI Command Set

This section describes the VLS command-line interface (CLI) command set. The CLI command allows
you to remotely configure, manage, and monitor the VLS over the LAN using a secure shell session.
It also allows you to locally configure, manage, and monitor the VLS through the serial connection.

Commands

There are two types of CLI commands:

CLI-only commands

Commands that are processed by the CLI and affect only the CLI.
VLS commands
Commands that are passed to the VLS to configure, manage, and monitor the VLS.

Conventions

All command arguments are case-sensitive and optional. They can be specified in any order. There
are several option tags associated with a command. The following conventions are used in this
section to identify option tags and arguments:
An option tag is preceded by a -.
The argument is separated from the option tag by a space.
If an argument contains a space, it must be enclosed by either two single quotes or two double
quotes.
If there is no argument after an option tag, the option is a switch.
An * after an argument means the argument (including its option tag) can be repeated.
A | between a compound argument means one or the other argument.
CLI-only Commands
This section describes the CLI-only commands in the VLS CLI command set.

Connection Commands

Use the CLI commands in
serial user interface session.
