Convention Description
“Enter” vs. “Type” When the word “enter” is used in this guide, it means type something, then press
the Return or Enter key. Do not press the Return or Enter key when an instruction
simply says “type.”
“Syntax” vs. “Command” When the word “syntax” is used in this guide, it indicates that the general form of
a command syntax is provided. You must evaluate the syntax and supply the
appropriate port, path, value, address, or string; for example:
Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for !<port>.
When the word “command” is used in this guide, it indicates that all variables in
the command have been supplied and you can enter the command as shown in text;
for example:
Remove the IP address by entering the following command:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
For consistency and clarity , the full form syntax (upper- and lowercase letters) is
provided. However, you can enter the abbreviated form of a command by typing
only the uppercase portion and supplying the appropriate port, path, address,
value, and so forth. You can enter the command in either upper- or lowercase
letters at the prompt.
