Introduction1-191.6.1 Command Syntax ConventionsThe following conventions apply as you use LCM commands:• Press the Enter key to execute a command after you type it in.• A port range is either a single port number, or a list of portnumbers separated by commas or hyphens. For example, 3 isport 3; 3,7 are ports 3 and 7; 3-5 are ports 3,4, and 5; and 3-5,7are ports 3,4,5, and 7.• To quit any command, press the Control-C keys (^C or Ctrl-C).• You can abbreviate any command where there is no ambiguity;if there is ambiguity, LCM responds with an error message.• Commands are not case sensitive.• Any invalid commands or misspellings will receive an errormessage.• A previous command can be repeated by typing !!• MAC addresses are displayed in little-endian Ethernet (leastsignificant bit) bit order, with each octet separated by a colon.For example:ELS10-26 >address 00:40:27:04:1a:0f• Information that you need to enter with an LCM command isenclosed in square brackets [ ]. For example, you must enter aport number and an IP address to execute the ipaddr [PORT-NUMBER] [IP ADDRESS] command:ELS10-26 >ipaddr 6 192.138.217.40• Parameters that appear in all capital letters, for example bridge[PORT-RANGE], indicate that you must enter a value for thatparameter. If a string of parameters is displayed between braces,for example [{off|on|noBPDU}], you must select one of thedisplayed options. For example, if you wanted to enablebridging on a port, or a range of ports, you would enter:ELS10-26 >bridge 2-4 on
