NetApp CN1610 - Command Syntax

8 Command Syntax
Command Syntax
A command is one or more words that might be followed by one or more
parameters. Parameters can be required or optional values.
Some commands, such as
show network or clear vlan , do not require
parameters. Other commands, such as
network parms , require that you supply a
value after the command. You must type the parameter values in a specific order,
and optional parameters follow required parameters. The following example
describes the
network parms command syntax:
network parms ipaddr netmask [gateway]
◆ network parms is the command name.
◆ ipaddr and netmask are parameters and represent required values that you
must enter after you type the command keywords.
◆ [ gateway ] is an optional parameter, so you are not required to enter a value
in place of the parameter.
The NetApp CN1610 Network Switch CLI Command Reference lists each
command by the command name and provides a brief description of the
command. Each command reference also contains the following information:
◆ Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional
parameters.
◆ Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.
◆ Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the
device.
The
show commands also contain a description of the information that the
command shows.
