FabricOS CLI Support README

FabricOS CLI Support contains what I consider to be the most important CLI commands for dealing with SAN-Switches. I created the collection to make my life easier when creating scripts with PowerShell for Visual Studio Code. I currently use PowerShell Version 7.4.x for this purpose. The easiest and better way is to download the extensions directly in the VS code under Extensions, as this is the quickest way to get the latest version without having to do anything.

All commands you find here correspond to the commands you can find in the Brocade FabricOS Command Reference Manual. Not all options for all commands are available here, but the most common ones should be available. If you miss something please contact me.
