Abbreviations

Pay close attention to how switch attributes appear in each section heading. Switch attributes are not case sensitive. If the heading states BUSStat, you must type busstat and not busstats, because the switch will not recognize the latter. See the following example:

switch_prompt # show busstats

Command busstats not Valid for Action show

Type Help <command>

for help

switch_prompt

#

 

switch_prompt

# show busstat

You can, however, abbreviate the switch attribute to the extent that it is unique. For example, instead of typing show porttrafficcongestion, you can just type show portt. The same can be done with operators. Instead of typing modify, you can type mod. You should type at least three characters for any operator. For example,

switch_prompt #

modify portmode

See "Switch Attribute" for an explanation of how the sections are organized.
