The word “syntax” means that you must evaluate the syntax
provided and then supply the appropriate values for the
placeholders that appear in angle brackets. Example:
To change your password, use the following syntax:
system password <password>
In this example, you must supply a password for
<password>.
Commands
The word “command” means that you must enter the
command exactly as shown and then press Return or Enter.

Return or Enter when an instruction simply says “type.”

names are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
