C H A P T E R 5 Accessing the Switch
41
Command Shortcuts
All component names must be unique. Name components using the
create command. When you enter a command to configure a
named component, you do not need to use the keyword of the
component. For example, to create a VLAN, you must enter a
unique VLAN name:
create vlan engineering
After you create the VLAN with a unique name, you can eliminate
the keyword
vlan from all other commands that require the name
to be entered. For example, instead of entering the command:
configure vlan engineering delete port 1,4
you can enter this shortcut:
configure engineering delete port 1,4
Numerical Ranges
Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a
switch use the parameter
<portlist> in the syntax. For example:
port 3
A port list can be a range of numbers, for example:
port 1-3
You can add additional port numbers to the list, separated by a
comma:
port 3,4,6
Names
All named components of the switch configuration must:
• Have a unique name.
• Begin with an alphabetical character.
• Be delimited (separated) by a space, unless enclosed in quotation
marks.
