Avaya M770 manual Output pport, Conventions used to describe commands

Chapter 3 How to Use the Command-line Interface

For example, the output of the tree command from the pport functional group prompt is:

Command: M15-155s8:/pport>tree

Output: pport

+-disable -- Disable a physical port +-enable -- Enable a physical port

+-reset -- Reset all settable parameters on a physical port to their defaults +-set -- Set a physical port parameter

+-framing -- Specify the framing

+-payloadscrambling -- Specify whether payload scrambling is on or off `-txrate -- Specify port transmit rate in Kbits/sec

+-show -- Show information about all physical ports

`-counters -- Show counter information for a physical port

Note: Certain functional groups in the hierarchy are also commands in their own right. For example, the vport show functional group is also a command when entered on its own.

Conventions used to describe commands

Throughout this chapter the following conventions are used:

•All command examples are given in relation to the root of the hierarchy. That is, this is how you would enter the command if you were at the root of the hierarchy.

•The syntax of commands are described using the symbols displayed in Table 3.2.

Table 3.2	Symbols used to describe command syntax
Syntax	Description
[ ]	Characters surrounded by square brackets denote optional
	arguments.
{ }	Characters surrounded with braces denote a selection list. When
	there are several argument selections surrounded by braces and
	separated by a vertical bar () then one of the arguments must be
	included in the command.
< >	Characters surrounded by angle brackets denote information that
	you must provide.
