Usage Guidelines
Objects are abstract representations of physical components or logical entities that can be managed. For
example, the chassis, security modules, network modules, ports, and processors are physical components
represented as managed objects, while licenses, user roles, and platform policies are logical entities represented
as managed objects.
FXOS provides four general commands for managing objects: create, delete, enter, and scope. For example,
you can create a local user account, you can delete a local user account, and you can enter a local user account
to assign or change properties for that account; you also can “scope into” the local user account to assign or
change properties.
Generally, the keywords and options available to each of these object-management commands are the same,
so we detail only the create version of the various object commands. In other words, for information about
the delete command for a particular object, refer to the description of the create command for that object.
For example, refer to create local-user, on page 65 for information related to scoping into an existing local
user account.
