CLI Command Conventions

When entering commands there are certain command entry standards that apply to all commands. The following table describes the command conventions.

ConventionDescription

[ ]In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry.

{}In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory parameters separated by the character. One option must be selected. For example: flowcontrol {autoonoff} means that for the flowcontrol command either auto, on or off must be selected.

Italic fontIndicates a parameter.

<Enter> Indicates an individual key on the keyboard. For example, <Enter> indicates the Enter key.

Ctrl+F4Any combination keys pressed simultaneously on the keyboard.

all — When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or parameters and all is an option, the default for the command is all when no parameters are defined. For example, the command interface range port-channel has the option of either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the command is entered without a parameter, it automatically defaults to all.
