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-id in the following
command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:
clear interface vlan-id ip
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
