2.2.3.5. Answering Questions
The execution of some commands prompts a question from the monitor.
❏
Example
LT> configure
Conf> hostname
New Hostname [ ]: Admin
Verify 'Admin' OK? y
Questions must be answered with a "y" for "yes" or any other character for
"no".
After answering a question do
not
enter carriage return.
If a carriage return is entered in error the monitor will treat it as an answer to
the next line.
2.2.3.6. Use Of Brackets
Square brackets are used to indicate optional parameters. The contents of the
brackets show the current default data for that parameter.
If no new entry is made the current default data will be used.
❏
Example
Conf> hostname
New Hostname [Admin]:
Entering carriage return will keep the name "Admin".
Parentheses (round brackets) are used to enclose comments.
❏
Example
USE (now: copy to master config)
2.2.3.7. Entering Hexadecimal Numbers
Numerical data can be entered in hexadecimal using a leading 0x. This is
particularly helpful when entering subnetmasks.
❏
Example
IP-Conf> subnetmask 0xffffffc0
