When you include a specific port or path number in the command, that command focuses on that particular port or path. If the port or path number is not included, the command provides information on all ports or paths.

For more information on ports, paths, or commands, see Reference for Enterprise OS Software.

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

The service part of the command focuses the action of the command on a particular service of the system.

In some cases, you may not need to enter the service name. For example, if a parameter is unique to a particular service, the service need not be specified as part of the command. For more information, see “Entering Service Names in Command Lines” on page 157.

The parameter is the object of the action of the command. If two or more services have parameters of the same name, you must include the service name in the syntax so the command can be executed successfully.

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.

3Press the Return key after typing the complete command.

The software includes online help for commands, services, parameters, and syntax, and is described in “Getting Help” on page 160. The syntax style that appears in the 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 style.
