28CHAPTER 1: USING THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE

Command Prompts By default, the MSS CLI provides the following prompt for restricted users. The mmmm portion shows the WX model number (for example, 1200) and the nnnnnn portion shows the last 6 digits of the WX media access control (MAC) address.

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 WX, see the set prompt command description in the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Command Reference.

Syntax Notation The MSS CLI uses standard syntax notation:

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

set enablepass

„Italic monospace font indicates 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]

„A vertical bar () separates mutually exclusive options within a list of possibilities. For example, you enter either enable or disable, not both, in the following command:

set port {enable disable} port-list

Text Entry

Unless otherwise indicated, the MSS CLI accepts standard ASCII
