Understanding Admin Domain restrictions

A subset of commands is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. In order to
execute an AD-restricted command on a switch or device, the switch or device must be part of a
given Admin domain, and the user must be logged into that Admin Domain.
Six Admin Domain types are supported, as defined in

Using the command line interface

This appendix describes using the command line interface (accessed via Telnet, SSH, or serial
console) to manage the Dell 8/4Gbps FC SAN Module. The command line interface (CLI) enables
an administrator to monitor and manage the FC SAN Module from a standard workstation.
Selected commands must be issued from a secure Telnet or SSH session, as indicated in the
command description in this manual. Access is controlled by a switch-level password for each
access level. The commands available through the CLI are based on the user's login role and the
license keys used to unlock certain features.
The documentation for each command includes a synopsis of its syntax, a description of command
use, and a set of examples. The same information can be accessed by issuing help command for
the module. This command displays the help page for the specified command. For example, to
display the help page for ad, type:
switch:admin> help ad
