10 CLI comm and set
This section describes the VLS command-line interface (CLI) command set. The CLI command allows you
to remotely config ure, manage, and monitor the VLS over the LAN using a secure shell session. It also
allows you to locally configure, m anage, and monitor the VLS through the serial connection.
Commands
There are two t
ypes of CLI commands:
• CLI-only commands
Commands that are processed by the CLI and affect only the C LI.
• VLS commands
Commands that are passed to the VLS to configure, manage, and monitor the VLS.
Conventions
All command arguments are case-sensitive and optional. They ca n be specified in any order. There are
several option tags associated with a command. The following conventions are used in this section to
identify option tags and arguments:
• An option tag is preceded by either -.
• The argument is separated from the option tag by a space.
• If an argument contains a space, it must b e enclosed by either two single quotes or two double
quotes.
• If there is no argument after an option tag, the option is a switch.
• An * after an argument means the argument ( including its option tag) can be repeated.
• A | between a compound argument means one or the other argument.
