Routing Commands

This chapter provides detailed explanation of the Routing commands. The switch commands are divided by functionality into these different groups:

Show commands are used to display switch settings, statistics and other information.

Config commands are used to configure features and options of the switch. For every config command there is a show command that will display the config setting.

Transfer commands are used to transfer configuration and informational files to and from the switch.

Syntax conventions are described in “CLI Command Format” on page 5-1.
