Most of the commands in this chapter are listed in alphabetical order
to make them easy to locate. Although the commands can be entered
in any order, depending on the results desired (so long as the tree
structure is followed), the order used herein for the zoning
commands follows a typical order of entry. The various show
commands are usually entered at the end of a group of other
commands to verify configuration changes.
FRQILJ
The config branch of the CLI command tree contains commands that
set parameter values on the switch or director. These values are not
temporary (session) values, but are retained across power cycles.
The commands in the config branch can only be accessed by a user
with administrator level user rights.
CLI commands are activated on the switch immediately, except as
noted.
In general, the config naming commands (except for the
config.zoning commands) use the USASCII character set. All of the
characters in this 128-character set (the first 7-bit subset of the
ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 character set) are valid. Any exceptions are noted
in the specific command descriptions.
