Commands
The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and
conventions:
■
Commands and keywords are case insensitive.
■
Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in
italics: [value].
■
Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the abbreviated form
that can be used. For example the Delete keyword can be abbreviated Del.
The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands easier.
Table 43
describes the command-line completion keystrokes.
The command set performs monitoring and configuration tasks. Commands related to
monitoring tasks are available to all account names. Commands related to configuration tasks
