Revising CLI Commands

ExtremeXOS has evolved and incorporated many new features over time. During this development, CLI keywords have been introduced that are not logically organized or do not conform to the CLI format standards. This feature provides the infrastructure capability to manage the reorganization and removal of CLI commands with the goal of providing clearer CLI organization and improved usability.

The new configure cli moved-keywords command introduced in this feature provides a way to manage how old keywords that have been moved and redefined appear in the CLI. When you elect to show (with or without help text) old keywords in commands, they appear in syntax suggestion and completion (syntax helper). Also, if you use the old syntax, the command is executed, but a message prompts you to use the preferred new syntax.

Additionally, in ExtremeXOS 30.3, several commands have been revised to conform to consistent structural standards (see below).

Supported Platforms

Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X465, X590, X620, X690, X870 series switches.

New CLI Commands

Changed CLI Commands

The following show command displays moved CLI commands information:
