Preface

This manual introduces how to use CISCO-LIKE style command line (also named KLISH command line) to perform status checking, feature configuration and other operations on the switch.

This manual is primarily intended for following engineers.

  • Network planners
  • On-site technical support and maintenance staff
  • Network administrator responsible for network configuration and maintenance

To increase readability and convenience, the following conventions are made.

  1. The commands are introduced in a fixed format of [Command][Purpose][Parameters], [Options], [Notes] and [Use Cases]
  2. [Command] indicates the only legal format that can be executed in the terminal.
  3. [Parameters] lists all available options for the fields in [Command].
  4. [Purpose] briefly describes what the command does.
  5. [Notes] is mainly used to provide additional information on the function of the command and to list special cases.
  6. For security reasons, all commands beginning with the “config” character require administrator privileges, which are not reflected in [Command].
  7. You can enter ? to get help information in any view.
