Syntax
The word “syntax” means you must evaluate the syntax provided
and supply the appropriate values. Placeholders for values you must
supply appear in angle brackets. Example:
Enable RIPIP using:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for <port>.
Commands
The word “command” means you must enter the command exactly
as shown in text and press the Return or Enter key. Example:
To remove the IP address, enter:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
This guide always gives the full form of a command in uppercase and
lowercase letters. However, you can abbreviate commands by entering
only the uppercase letters and the appropriate value. Commands are
not case-sensitive.
