set command assignmentoperator

Syntax SET COMmand {ASSignmentoperator=[EqualsSPaceorequals]}

Description This new command sets the assignment operator of the command parser thereby defining the format of the command syntax for the CLI.

Parameter	Description
ASSignmentoperator	Defines the operator between parameters when assigning values.
	Default: Equals
	Equals	Requires users to enter = sign. To ensure clarity
		and accuracy, we recommend always using the =
		sign.
	SPaceorequals	Lets users enter either the = sign or just leave a
		single space between parameters.

The following commands have the same effect. Note that the first one is clearer because of the = sign.

add ip rou=172.16.9.0 mask=255.255.255.0 int=vlan1 next=172.16.8.82 met=1

add ip rou 172.16.9.0 mask 255.255.255.0 int vlan1 next 172.16.8.82 met 1

Take care when using aliases because they match any whole word on the command line. Therefore, if you separate a parameter with a space, a matching alias could erroneously be substituted for the value.

Note that certain command handlers, such as those for STT, PERM, and ACC, always require the = sign.

Example To set the command processor so that you can enter a space between parameters and values on the command line, use the command:

set com ass=sp
