When commands take effect

Each command is completely processed before the next command may be entered. Some commands prompt for confirmation before they are processed. In these cases, you must confirm or cancel by entering Y or N respectively.

If you enter a Server FLASH command or if you change the CCM IP address with a Server Set command, a CCM reboot is required before the change becomes effective. In these cases, the CCM database is updated when you enter the command and you are prompted that the change will not take effect until the CCM reboots. You may choose to reboot at that time, or you may decline. When the CCM reboots, your session and all other sessions on the CCM are terminated.

Understanding Conventions

This section describes the parts of a CCM command and the conventions used in this document to describe a command’s syntax.

Command syntax

A command may have four types of syntax: positional commands, positional parameters, keyword parameters and keyword values. The following examples demonstrate the syntax types.

The following Set Port command changes the baud rate and flow control settings for port 2.

> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XONXOF
