CLI Basics
This chapter describes the command structure and command modes. FTOS commands are in a
text-based interface that allows you to use launch commands, change the command modes, and
configure interfaces and protocols.
This chapter covers the following topics:
•Accessing the Command Line
•Multiple Configuration Users
•Navigating the Command Line Interface
•Obtaining Help
•Using the Keyword No
•Filtering show Commands
•Command Modes
2
Accessing the Command Line
When the system boots successfully, you are positioned on the command line in the EXEC mode and
not prompted to log in. You can access the commands through a serial console port or a Telnet session.
When you Telnet into the switch, you are prompted to enter a login name and password.
Figure 2-1 is an example of a successful Telnet login session.
Figure 2-1. Login Example
telnet 172.31.1.53
Trying 172.31.1.53...
Connected to 172.31.1.53.
Escape character is '^]'.
Login: username
Password:
Force10>
Once you log into the switch, the prompt provides you with current command-level information (refer
to Table 2-1).
CLI Basics | 13
Multiple Configuration Users
When a user enters the CONFIGURATION mode and another user(s) is already in that configuration
mode, FTOS generates an alert warning message similar to the following:
Figure 2-2. Configuration Mode User Alert
Force10#conf
% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:
User "" on line console0
User "admin" on line vty0 ( 123.12.1.123 )
User "admin" on line vty1 ( 123.12.1.123 )
User "Irene" on line vty3 ( 123.12.1.321 )
Force10(conf)#Force10#
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
When another user enters the CONFIGURATION mode, FTOS sends a message similar to the
following, where the user in this case is “admin” on vty2:
% Warning: User "admin" on line vty2 "172.16.1.210" is in configuration
Navigating the Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt displayed by FTOS is comprised of:
•“hostname”— the initial part of the prompt, “Force10” by default. You can change it with the
hostname command, as described in hostname.
•The second part of the prompt, reflecting the current CLI mode, as shown in Table 2-1.
The CLI prompt changes as you move up and down the levels of the command structure. Table 2-1
lists the prompts and their corresponding command levels, called modes. Starting with the
CONFIGURATION mode, the command prompt adds modifiers to further identify the mode. The
command modes are explained in Command Modes.
Note: Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.

•The commands are not case sensitive.
•You can enter partial (truncated) command keywords. For example, you can enter int gig int
interface for the interfacegigabitethernet interface command.
•Use the TAB key to complete keywords in commands.
•Use the up arrow key to display the last enabled command.
•Use either the Backspace key or the Delete key to erase the previous character.
16|CLI Basics
Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate left or right in the FTOS command line. Table 2-2
defines the key combinations valid at the FTOS command line.
Table 2-2. Short-cut Keys and their Actions

Esc BMoves the cursor back one word.
Esc FMoves the cursor forward one word.
Esc DDeletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the word.
Using the Keyword No
To disable, delete, or return to default values, use the no form of the commands. For most commands,
if you type the keyword no in front of the command, you will disable that command or delete it from
the running configuration. In this document, the no form of the command is discussed in the Command
Syntax portion of the command description.
Filtering show Commands
You can filter the display output of a show command to find specific information, to display certain
information only, or to begin the command output at the first instance of a regular expression or phrase.
When you execute a show command, followed by a pipe ( | ) and one of the parameters listed below
and a regular expression, the resulting output either excludes or includes those parameters, as defined
by the parameter:
•display— display additional configuration information
CLI Basics | 17
•except— display only text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
find — search for the first occurrence of a pattern
•
•grep — display text that matches a pattern
•
no-more — do not paginate the display output
save - copy output to a file for future use
•
Note: FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any
grep command option has an ignore-case sub-option that makes the search case-insensitive. For
example, the commands:
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
•show run | grep Ethernet would return a search result with instances containing a capitalized
“Ethernet,” such as interface GigabitEthernet 0/0.
•show run | grep ethernet would not return the search result, above, because it only searches for
instances containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.”
Executing the command
both “Ethernet” and “ethernet.”
Displaying All Output
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-moreafter the pipe. This is
similar to the terminallengthscreen-length command except that the no-moreoption affects the
output of just the specified command.For example:
Force10#show running-config|no-more
Filtering Command Output Multiple Times
You can filter a single command output multiple times. Place the save option as the last filter. For
example:
other-regular-expression | findregular-expression | no-more | save
show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case would return instances containing
Command Modes
18|CLI Basics
To navigate to various CLI modes, you need to use specific commands to launch each mode.
Navigation to these modes is discussed in the following sections.

slot0:// followed by the filename.
Not configured.
CONFIGURATION
Version 7.5.1.0Introduced on C-Series
E-Series original Command
To display these changes in the show bootvar command output, you must save the running
configuration to the startup configuration (copy running-config startup-config or write).
Dell Force10 strongly recommends using local files for configuration (RPM0 or RPM1 flash or slot0).
26|File Management
When you specify a file as the boot config file, it is listed in the boot variables (bootvar) as LOCAL
CONFIG FILE
. If you do not specify a boot config file, then the startup-configuration is used, although
the bootvar shows LOCAL CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist. When you specify a boot
config file, the switch reloads with that config file, rather than the startup-config. Note that if you
specify a local config file which is not present in the specified location, then the startup-configuration
is loaded.
The write memory command always saves the running-configuration to the file labeled
startup-configuration. When using a LOCAL CONFIG FILE other than the startup-config, use the copy
command to save any running-configuration changes to that local file.

FTOS supports a maximum of 100 files, at the root directory level, on both the internal and external
Flash.
The usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only.
Refer to the FTOS Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy (SCP)), enter only the
keywords and FTOS prompts you for the rest of the information.
For example, when using SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp:
The running-config is the source, and the target is specified in the ensuing prompts. FTOS prompts
you to enter any required information, as needed for the named destination—remote destination,
destination filename, user ID and password, etc.
32|File Management
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running
configuration (the startup configuration file amended by any configuration changes made since the
system was started) to the startup configuration file, FTOS creates a backup file on the internal flash of
the startup configuration.
FTOS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server:
copy running-config tftp:
copy running-config ftp:
Command Example: copy running-config scp:
Force10#copy running-config scp:/
Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.1
Destination file name [startup-config]? old_running
User name to login remote host? home
Password to login remote host? home
In this example — copy scp: flash: — specifying SCP in the first position indicates that the target is
to be specified in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position means that the target is
the internal Flash. In this example the source is on a secure server running SSH, so the user is prompted
for the UDP port of the SSH server on the remote host.
Using scp to copy from an SSH Server
Force10#copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.11.199.134
Port number of the server [22]: 99
Source file name []: test.cfg

Usage
Information
The Kernel core dump can be large and may take up to 5 to 30 minutes to upload. FTOS does not
overwrite application coredumps so you should delete them as necessary to conserve space on the
flash; if the flash is out of memory, the coredump is aborted. On the S-Series, if the FTP server is not
reachable, the application coredump is aborted. FTOS completes the coredump process and wait until
the upload is complete before rebooting the system.

Usage
Information
You save the configuration and reload the chassis for the changes to the epoch command setting to
take affect.
When using 10 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 and 2.4 settings are both linerate. Additionally,
the 2.4 setting has a lower latency.
When using 9 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 setting is linerate; the 2.4 setting reduces
throughput. Dell Force10 recommends using the 10.4 setting when the system has 9 SFMs.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Using 8 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis reduces throughput at any epoch setting.
Note: The E300 supports only the 10.4 epoch setting. The E-Series TeraScale E600/E600i
and the E1200/E1200i systems support the 10.4 and the 3.2 epoch settings.
Note: For E-Series ExaScale, the 2.4 setting is supported on FTOS version 8.3.1.0 and later.
The 10.4 setting is supported on all ExaScale FTOS versions. The 3.2 setting is only
supported on FTOS versions 8.2.1.0 and earlier.

Usage
Information
Traffic statistics are sorted on a per-interface basis; the interface receiving the most traffic is displayed
first. All CPU and port information is displayed unless a specific port or CPU is specified. Traffic
information is displayed for router ports only; not for management interfaces. The traffic statistics are
collected only after the debug cpu-traffic-stats command is executed; not from the system bootup.
Note: After debugging is complete, use the nodebug cpu-traffic-stats command to shut off
traffic statistics collection.
