6-6 CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING BASIC SETTINGS
Full and Abbreviated Syntax ExamplesThe 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])
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.
