Using CLI
Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Modules SBCEGBESW1 and SBCEGBESW10 CLI Guide 5
There are two instances where help information can be displayed:
• Keyword lookup — The character ? is entered in place of a command. A list of all
valid commands and corresponding help messages are is displayed.
• Partial keyword lookup — If a command is incomplete and or the character ? is
entered in place of a parameter. The matched keyword or parameters for this
command are displayed.
To assist in using the CLI, there is an assortment of editing features. The following
features are described:
• Terminal Command Buffer
• Command Completion
• Nomenclature
• Keyboard Shortcuts
• Terminal Command Buffer
Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally managed
Command History buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are maintained on a First In
First Out (FIFO) basis. These commands can be recalled, reviewed, modified, and
reissued. This buffer is not preserved across device resets.
By default, the history buffer system is enabled, but it can be disabled at any time. For
information about the command syntax to enable or disable the history buffer, see “show
history”.
There is a standard default number of commands that are stored in the buffer. The standard
number of 10 commands can be increased to 216. By configuring 0, the effect is the same
as disabling the history buffer system. For information about the command syntax for
configuring the command history buffer, see history size.
To display the history buffer, see “show history”.
Negating the Effect of Commands
For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword no can be entered to cancel the
effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default value. This guide describes
the negation effect for all applicable commands.
Command Completion
If the command entered is incomplete, invalid or has missing or invalid parameters, then
the appropriate error message is displayed. This assists in entering the correct command.
By pressing the <Tab> button, an incomplete command is entered. If the characters
already entered are not enough for the system to identify a single matching command,
press ? to display the available commands matching the characters already entered.
