ExtremeXOS config explainer
Paste an ExtremeXOS (EXOS / Switch Engine) configuration and it explains each command in plain English, summarizes the VLANs (tag, tagged and untagged ports, IP addresses), and groups the commands by category. Never touches a switch.

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.
