			treats as a single unit.
			Actions, parameters, and some parameter values are keywords.
			Keywords are not case sensitive. In this Software Reference and the
			online help, uppercase letters indicate minimum keyword abbreviations.
		Action	The first keyword in a command. This defines the type of operation to
			perform. Actions do not have values.

•the object of the action (for example, “ip rip” in the figure above)

•the details of the action (for example, “auth” in the figure above)

Parameters are optional or required, may accept values, and are not case sensitive. Spaces must separate parameters.

	can be:
	• an item from a list of option keywords
	•	a number
	•	arbitrary text
	Values are optional or required. Enter values with the syntax
	parameter=value or parameter value (for details, see Command
	Reference Updates). Most values are not case sensitive, except for
	text, such as passwords.
Option	A keyword that is one of a pre-defined list of values that a parameter
	can accept.

	Instead of typing the placeholder, replace it with an appropriate value.
