About This Guide
This guide describes configuration commands for SFTOS software. The commands can be accessed
from the SFTOS Command Line Interface (CLI), accessed through the console port or through a Telnet
connection, and from the Node Manager component of Dell Force10 Management System (FTMS).

Objectives
This document is intended as a reference guide for users of the SFTOS 2.5.2 command line interface
(CLI) used for the following S-Series switches:
• S50
• S50V
• S50N, S50N-DC
• S25P, S25P-DC
The CLI command statements list syntax information for constructing command input at the SFTOS
command line interface (CLI). Also, in some cases, “screenshot” examples are provided.
Commands that generate reports are called “show commands”, because they all begin with the
keyword “nieA”. The syntax statements for those commands in this guide contain a description of the
fields in their reports, and, in some cases, with examples.
This document includes information on the protocols and features found in SFTOS. Background on
networking protocols is included primarily to describe the capabilities of SFTOS. For more complete
information on protocols, refer to other documentation and IETF RFCs.
Note: Please note that BGP and bandwidth allocation are not supported in this release, but
may appear in the command output examples in this document.
Note: For S2410 documentation, see the S2410 Documentation CD-ROM.
