NETBuilder Family Software. For more information on commands, refer to

Chapter 1 in Reference for NETBuilder Family Software.

bIf the command includes a parameter, type the service name (if necessary), the parameter name, and values.

The service name focuses the action of the command on a particular bridge/router service.

In some cases, you may not need to enter the service name. For example, if a parameter is unique to a service, the service does not need to be specified. If two or more services have parameters of the same name, you must include the service name in the syntax. For more information, refer to “Entering Service Names in Command Lines” on page 6-7.

The value part of the command specifies how you want the parameter to be set. Values include numerics, strings, or addresses, depending on the parameter. For additional information, refer to “Syntax for Assigning Values” on page 6-10.

2After entering the complete command, press the Return key.

The bridge/router software includes online help for commands, services, parameters, and syntax, described in “Getting Help” on page 6-10.The syntax that appears in online help is the full-form syntax; it contains full names and visual cues for entering commands. You can also enter commands using an abbreviated version of the syntax.

For information on full-form and abbreviated syntax, read the following sections and see Figure 6-1and Figure 6-2.For additional information on short cuts for entering commands, refer to “Using Aliases” on page 6-8and “Command History Substitution” on page 6-8.
