Command Syntax
The CLI commands use the following syntax:
command
key
word
keyword [value]
keyword [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules
and conventions:
Commands and keywords are case insensitive.
Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values
are shown in italics: [value].
Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the
abbreviated form. For example, you can abbreviate the Del
ete keyword
using Del.
The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands
easier. Table 4-2 describes the command-line completion keystrokes.
The command set performs monitoring and configuration tasks. Commands
related to monitoring tasks are available to all account names. Commands related
to configuration tasks are available only within an Admin session. An account
must have admin authority to enter the admin start command, which opens an
admin session. Refer to the “Admin” on page 4-3.
