CLI Syntax Conventions
ARRIS documentation uses certain conventions to show the syntax of commands. These notations are not part of the
command itself but indicate command entry options. The notations are for documentation purposes only, they are not
input by the user.
The CLI commands in this chapter use the syntax conventions described in the following table:
Table 140.
Conventions for Representing Command Syntax
CLI Syntax
Description
<...>
Angle brackets indicate a required value or parameter which is position-dependent and does not
have keywords.
[...]
Brackets enclose optional entries—they may be included or excluded.
{...}
Braces enclose two or more entry choices; one and only one choice should be entered in the
command.
[...]+
"+" Represents multiple, so the inside of the brackets must be 0 or more times.
{...}+
"+" Represents multiple, so the inside of the braces must be 11 or more times.
{...}+2-12
"2-12" represents the number of times it repeats. In this case, 2 through 12 are legal repetitions.
