Switch Attribute Entries
Introduction
Parameters
Most switch attributes have input or output parameters (or both). If an attribute has parameters, they are listed in tables
under a “Parameters” heading. You enter input parameters at the console command line. You view output parameters
at the console screen after the command executes. Some input parameters have default values (shown in parenthesis).
You do not need to type an entry if you accept the default.
Following is an example of the format of input and output parameter tables.
In the output parameter table below, </d> indicates parameters available only in detailed display mode. To view the
display for these parameters, type
/d
after the attribute in the command string (for example:
operator attribute /d
).
