CHAPTER 5
Command Reference
The VSE SmartConnect software provides a default configuration that is ready to perform
basic switching functions. Some of the more advanced features, however, require administrative configuration before they can be used effectively.
The administrator can use the VSE SmartConnect software BBI to perform most basic configuration tasks. However, the command line interface is the most direct method for collecting
information and making configuration changes. Using a basic terminal, the administrator is
presented with a hierarchy of menus that enable one to view information and statistics about
the switch, and to perform any necessary configuration.
The various commands have been logically grouped into a series of menus and sub-menus.
Each menu displays a list of commands and sub-menus that are available, along with a
summary of each command. Below each menu is a prompt where you can enter appropriate
commands.
You can view configuration information for the switch in both the user and administrator command
modes. This chapter discusses how to use the command line interface for the VSE SmartCon-
nect software.
This chapter provides an overview of menu commands.
