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.

 

 

 

Screen displays

This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen.

 

 

 

The words “enter”

When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type

and “type”

something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the

 

 

Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”

 

 

 

[Key] names

Key names appear in text in one of two ways:

 

 

Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the Escape

 

 

key”

 

 

Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc].

 

 

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

 

 

linked with a plus sign (+). Example:

 

 

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