Findings
  • Paste an ExtremeXOS (EXOS / Switch Engine) configuration to have each command explained, the VLANs summarized, and the commands grouped by category. This tool reads the config; it never touches a switch.
The EXOS command verbs

EXOS has no interface sub-modes. Every line is a self-contained command that begins with one of these verbs acting on a named object, which is why a config reads as a flat list rather than nested blocks.

  • create Creates a new object (a VLAN, account, STP domain, and so on).
  • configure Sets a property on an existing object. The workhorse verb; often abbreviated to 'config'.
  • enable Turns a feature or object on (routing, a port, sharing, a protocol).
  • disable Turns a feature or object off.
  • delete Removes an object.
  • unconfigure Resets part of the configuration to its default.
