Device CLI Command Interfaces🔗

There are three CLI command interfaces, each designed for inputting commands into the switch. Each interface impacts the device in a distinct manner.

  • Global/Switch Wide: Commands are applied once at the global configuration level of the switch ().
  • Service/Application: Commands are applied against the corresponding vlan at the vlan interface level ().
  • Port Settings: Commands are applied at the interface level ().

To write commands, click the edit () button and type your commands. Clicking the save button () transmits the commands.

Warning

When Submitting CLI Commands:

  • Commands are not checked for syntax and are submitted exactly as entered.

  • Commands are reapplied whenever the text is changed or when the controller reconnects to the switch.

  • The commands are not compared to the running configuration, so they will appear in pending changes until they are first applied by the controller.

  • Changing of any parameters controlled by Verity may be immediately reverted by the controller.
