Nortel Networks 2300 Series manual Set enablepass, Clear interface vlan-idip

Using the Command-Line Interface 21

Syntax Notation

The WSS Software CLI uses standard syntax notation:

•Bold monospace font identifies the command and keywords you must type. For example:

set enablepass

•Italic monospace font indicates a placeholder for a value. For example, you replace vlan-idin the following command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:

clear interface vlan-idip

•Curly brackets ({ }) indicate a mandatory parameter, and square brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional parameter. For example, you must enter dynamic or port and a port list in the following command, but a VLAN ID is optional:

clear fdb {dynamic port port-list} [vlan vlan-id]

•A vertical bar () separates mutually exclusive options within a list of possibilities. For example, you enter either enable or disable, not both, in the following command:

set port {enable disable} port-list

Text Entry Conventions and Allowed Characters

Unless otherwise indicated, the WSS Software CLI accepts standard ASCII alphanumeric characters, except for tabs and spaces, and is case-insensitive.

The CLI has specific notation requirements for MAC addresses, IP addresses, and masks, and allows you to group usernames, MAC addresses, virtual LAN (VLAN) names, and ports in a single command.

Nortel recommends that you do not use the same name with different capitalizations for VLANs or access control lists (ACLs). For example, do not configure two separate VLANs with the names red and RED.

The CLI does not support the use of special characters including the following in any named elements such as SSIDs and VLANs: ampersand (&), angle brackets (< >), number sign (#), question mark (?), or quotation marks (“”).

In addition, the CLI does not support the use of international characters such as the accented É in DÉCOR.
