Command Line Interface

Tip!____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The command line interface (CLI) is not case sensitive.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Port numbering:

Network ports are numbered Ns.p where

s is the DNM module (1 or 2; 1 is on the left, 2 is on the right)

p is the port number within the DNM (1 through 12)

for example, n2.1 and n2.12 are the lowest and highest port numbers in the second DNM Monitor ports are numbered m.1 through m.10

Configurable 10 Gigabit ports are numbered t.1 and t.2

a portlist is a list of ports separated by commas; dashes may be used to specify ranges; for example, n1.1,n1.2,n1.3 and n1.1-n1.3 mean the same thing; NOTE: Do not include any space characters in the list (do not put a space after the comma)

A string is a string of characters up to 32 characters in length, not case sensitive; valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 1-9, -, _

Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are required, and must be the first parameter in the parameter list for the command. Other parameters are optional and may be included in any order.
