Table 6-1Command Syntax Symbols (continued)

Symbol	Description
vertical bar	Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be entered.
	For example, in the syntax:
	SET ScreenLength = [None <line>(6–100)]
	you can specify either the word None or a number between 6 and 100
	when you enter the command. Do not type the vertical bar.
ellipsis ...	Following a parameter name or value, indicates that one or more
	additional arguments may be specified on the same command line. For
	example, in the syntax:
	ADD !<port> -IP SecAuthIn <authority> [<authority>
	...] [ANY]
	you can specify multiple authorities (GENSER, SIOP, SCI, NSA, DOE, NONE)
	when you enter the command. Do not type the ellipsis.
hyphen -	A letter preceded by a hyphen represents a command option. Also, when
	you enter a service name as part of the command, you must precede the
	service name with a hyphen. For example, in the command:
	SETDefault -BRidge CONTrol = Bridge
	You must include the hyphen with the service name BRidge when you
	enter the command.
braces { }	Enclose a list of values, one of which must be entered. For example, in
	the syntax:
	SETDefault !<subaddr #> -Gateway SubAddrMap =
	{(<IPaddr> <PSAPaddr>) None}
	you must enter either an IP address, PSAP address, or the word None
	when you enter the command. Do not type the braces.

exclamation point ! A number preceded by an exclamation point represents a port, virtual port, or path number. For example, in the syntax:

SHow [!<port>] -DECnet CONFiguration

the exclamation point must be included before the port number when you enter the command.

The exclamation point is also used to refer to a profile number. Refer to the PROFile Service chapter in Reference for NETBuilder Family Software.

Full and Abbreviated Syntax Examples

The following examples show the full form first, followed by the abbreviated command syntax.

The full-form command syntax:

ADD !<port> -NRIP AdvToNeighbor <network>%<mac address> [...]

can be abbreviated to:

ADD !<port> -NRIP ATN <network>%<mac address> [...]

Replacing the variables in this abbreviated command syntax with values might specify, for example, that a neighbor on port 2, network number &10, with address %080002030ef2, receives RIP and SAP updates:

ADD !2 -NRIP ATN &10%080002030ef2

The full-form command syntax:

SETDefault -IP CONTrol = ([ROute NoROute], [RelaySrcRoute

NoRelaySrcRoute], [SplitLoad NoSplitLoad], [Filtering

NoFiltering], [SECurity NoSECurity], [FwdSubnetBcast

NoFwdSubnetBcast], [FwdAllSubnetBcast NoFwdAllSubnetBcast])
