Objectives

This document is intended as a reference guide for users of the SFTOS CLI commands — primarily for syntax information for constructing command input at the CLI. Also, in some cases, “screenshot” examples are provided.

Commands that generate reports are called “show commands”, because they all begin with the keyword “show”. The syntax statements for those commands in this guide contain a description of the fields in their reports, and, in some cases, with examples.

This document includes information on the protocols and features found in SFTOS. Background on networking protocols is included primarily to describe the capabilities of SFTOS. For more complete information on protocols, refer to other documentation and IETF RFCs.
