22CHAPTER 1: USING THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE

CLI Conventions Be aware of the following MSS CLI conventions for command entry:

„“Command Prompts” on page 22

„“Syntax Notation” on page 22

„“Text Entry Conventions and Allowed Characters” on page 23

„“User Globs, MAC Address Globs, and VLAN Globs” on page 24

„“Port Lists” on page 26

„“Virtual LAN Identification” on page 27

Command Prompts By default, the MSS CLI provides the following prompt for restricted users. The mmmm portion shows the wireless LAN switch model number (for example, 1200).

WXmmmm>

After you become enabled as an administrative user by typing enable and supplying a suitable password, MSS displays the following prompt:

WXmmmm#

For information about changing the CLI prompt on a wireless LAN switch, see “set prompt” on page 50.

Syntax Notation The MSS CLI uses standard syntax notation:

„Bold monospace font identifies the command and keywords you must type. For example:

set enablepass

„Italics indicate a placeholder for a value. For example, you replace vlan-idin the following command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:

clear interface vlan-idip

„Curly brackets ({ }) indicate a mandatory parameter, and square brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional parameter. For example, you must enter dynamic or port and a port list in the following command, but a VLAN ID is optional:

clear fdb {dynamic port port-list} [vlan vlan-id]
