A command is described by its syntax, for example:
show interface list { status | statistics | capabilities | switchport | veriphy }
and
show erps [ groups ] [ detail | statistics ]
Note: Syntax is represented in a slightly different manner in this documentation as compared to a
ICLI session.
In this document, variable parameters are written in italics, whereas a ICLI session will display such
items surrounded by ‘<’ and ‘>’.
The semantics are:
» keywords are written in bold
» parameters are written in italics
» [ ... ] indicates an optional construct: It may or may not be present
» { ... } indicates a grouping; the constructs within belong together
» ‘|’ indicates a choice between two or more alternatives, (example, a | b | c which reads as “a or b
or c”).
Thus, the first command syntax is simple: First show, then interface, then a list of interfaces, then
exactly one of status, statistics, capabilities, switchport, and veriphy.
The second command is a bit more complex: show and erps are mandatory, but the remaining
parameters and keywords are optional: The user may enter group IDs; the user may enter either
‘statistics’ or ‘detail’. For example:
! Show short-form ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) information for all
! instances:
my-device# show erps
...
! Show statistics for all instances:
my-device# show erps statistics
...
! Show details for all instances:
my-device# show erps detail
…
! But it is not allowed to show details and statistics at the same time:
