CLI Command Groups
The system commands can be broken down into the functional groups shown
below
.
Table 7: Command Group Index
Command Group Description Page
General Basic commands for entering privileged access mode,
restarting the system, or quitting the CLI
95
System Management Display and setting of system information, basic modes of
operation, maximum frame size, file management, console
port and telnet settings, system logs, SMTP alerts, and the
system clock,
103
Simple Network
Management Protocol
Activates authentication failure traps; configures community
access strings, and trap receivers
181
Remote Monitoring Supports statistics, history, alarm and event groups 203
User Authentication Configures user names and passwords, logon access using
local or remote authentication, management access through
the web server, Telnet server and Secure Shell; as well as port
security, IEEE 802.1X port access control, and restricted access
based on specified IP addresses,
211
General Security Measures Segregates traffic for clients attached to common data ports;
and prevents unauthorized access by configuring valid static
or dynamic addresses, web authentication, MAC address
authentication, filtering DHCP requests and replies, and
discarding invalid ARP responses
255
Access Control List Provides filtering for IPv4 frames (based on address, protocol,
TCP/UDP port number or TCP control code), IPv6 frames
(based on address, or non-IP frames (based on MAC address or
Ethernet type)
335
Interface Configures the connection parameters for all Ethernet ports,
aggregated links, and VLANs
359
Link Aggregation Statically groups multiple ports into a single logical trunk;
configures Link Aggregation Control Protocol for port trunks
389
Mirror Port Mirrors data to another port for analysis without affecting the
data passing through or the performance of the monitored
port
409
Congestion Control Sets the input/output rate limits, traffic storm thresholds, and
thresholds for broadcast and multicast storms which can be
used to trigger configured rate limits or to shut down a port.
419
UniDirectional Link
Detection
Detect and disables unidirectional links 429
Address Table Configures the address table for filtering specified addresses,
displays current entries, clears the table, or sets the aging time
437
Spanning Tree Configures Spanning Tree settings for the switch 443
VLANs Configures VLAN settings, and defines port membership for
VLAN groups
467
Class of Service Sets port priority for untagged frames, selects strict priority or
weighted round robin, relative weight for each priority queue,
also sets priority for TCP/UDP traffic types, IP precedence, and
DSCP
