In a command line, square brackets indicate an optional entry.
{ }
In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory parameters separated by
the | character. One option must be selected. For example,
flowcontrol {auto|on|off}
means
that for the
flowcontrol
command either
auto
,
on
or
off

When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or parameters and
