Description

 

 

 

 

 

Syntax

 

Evaluate the syntax provided and supply the appropriate values.

 

 

 

Placeholders for values you must supply appear in angle brackets.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

Enable RIPIP using:

 

 

 

SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen

 

 

 

In this example, you must supply a port number for <port>.

 

 

 

 

Commands

Enter the command exactly as shown in text and press the Return or

 

 

 

Enter key. Example:

 

 

 

To remove the IP address, enter:

 

 

 

SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0

 

 

 

This guide always gives the full form of a command in uppercase and

 

 

 

 

 

 

lowercase letters. However, you can abbreviate commands by

 

 

 

entering only the uppercase letters and the appropriate value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commands are not case-sensitive.

If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names

 

 

 

are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:

 

 

 

Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
