Using the CEE CLI
In this chapter
Management Tools
The Dell FCoE hardware runs traditional Fabric OS (FOS) software and can be managed using the
same tools traditionally used for SAN management. Using the FOS Command Line Interface (CLI),
administrators have access to all commands and utilities common to other Dell switches. In
addition, Fabric OS software on the Dell FCoE hardware enables Dell Web Tools to support the
following features for configuring and managing a Converged Ethernet Network:

CEE Command Line Interface
The Dell FCoE hardware introduces a new CLI designed to support the management of CEE and
Layer 2 Ethernet switching functionality. The CEE CLI uses an industry-standard hierarchical shell
familiar to Ethernet/IP networking administrators.
All conventional port-related Fabric OS CLI commands are only applicable to Fibre Channel. These
commands have no knowledge of the Ethernet ports. The CEE features and CEE ports can only be
configured through the CEE CLI interface which is accessed by entering the cmsh command from
the Fabric OS shell.
The system starts up with the default Fabric OS configuration and the CEE startup configuration.
After logging in you are in the Fabric OS shell. For information on accessing the CEE commands
from the Fabric OS shell, see
Some Fabric OS commands are available in the CEE shell. Enter the fos ? command at the CEE CLI
Privileged EXEC mode command prompt to view the available Fabric OS commands. The traditional
Fabric OS command help found in the Fabric OS shell is not available through the CEE shell.
