First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a configuration module operable to configure a network element to communicate with a plurality of network devices, each of said network devices having fibre-channel device identifiers;
a database operable to store fibre-channel device identification data representing the fibre-channel device identifiers;
a command interpreter for the configuration module operable to display at least a subset of the fibre-channel device identification data in response to detecting a completion token in a command line input stream, wherein the fibre-channel device identification data is displayed prior to the completion of the command line input stream.

Abstract
A system includes a configuration module operable to configure a routing device to communicate with one or more network devices. Each of the network devices having device identifiers and other device data. The device data can be maintained in a database. The system also includes a command interpreter for the configuration module. The command interpreter operates to display at least a subset of the device identification data in response to detecting a completion token entered by the user.

9. A method for configuring a network device, the method comprising:
-
providing a command interpreter operable to interpret a command line input stream; detecting a completion token in the command line input stream; querying a database containing fibre-channel device information upon detecting the completion token; displaying the fibre-channel device information; and receiving further input based on the fibre-channel device information prior to completion of the command line input stream. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for configuring a network device, the method comprising:
-
providing a command interpreter operable to interpret a command line in put stream; detecting a substitution token and substitution index in the command line input stream; querying a database containing device information upon detecting the substitution token using the substitution index to specify fibre-channel device data; and replacing the substitution token and index with the device data in the command line input stream prior to completion of the command line input stream. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A system for configuring a network device, the system comprising:
-
means for interpreting a command line input stream; means for detecting a completion token in the command line input stream; means for querying a database containing fibre-channel device information upon detecting the completion token; and means for displaying the fibre-channel device information; wherein the means for interpreting the command line input stream receives further input based on the fibre-channel device information prior to completion of the command line input stream. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
