Command syntax
The command syntax is as follows:
command
key
word
keyword [value]
keyword [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and conventions:
• Commands and keywords are lowercase and case sensitive.
• Required keyword values are shown in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in italics:
[value].
• The underlined portion of each keyword indicates the abbreviated form that can be used. For example the
Del
ete keyword can be abbreviated Del.
Commands
The command set provides for User and Admin authority levels.
• User authority grants viewing access to the fabric and switches using the Show command and other read-
only commands.
• Admin authority includes the User authority and grants permission to use the Admin command. The
Admin Start command opens an admin session, which provides access to the commands that change
switch and fabric configurations. See the “Admin command” on page 7.
✏ NOTE
Admin authority is enforced only if fabric security is enabled on the switch. By default, fabric
security is disabled. See the keywords of the “Set Setup command” on page 35 for information
about setting fabric security.
The commands and their page numbers are listed by authority level in Table 1. The following Admin session
commands have some keywords that are available with User authority:
Alias
Config
Date
Set
User
Zone
Zoneset
