Description

 

 

“Syntax” vs. “Command”

When the word “syntax” is used in this guide, it indicates

 

that the general form of a command syntax is provided.

 

You must evaluate the syntax and supply the appropriate

 

port, path, value, address, or string. For example:

 

Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:

 

SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol =

 

Listen

 

In this example, you must supply a port number for

 

!<port>.

 

When the word “command” is used in this guide, it

 

indicates that all variables in the command have been

 

supplied and you can enter the command as shown in

 

text. For example:

 

Remove the IP address by entering the following

 

command:

 

SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0

 

For consistency and clarity, the full-form syntax (upper- and

 

lowercase letters) is provided. However, you can enter the

 

abbreviated form of a command by typing only the uppercase

 

portion and supplying the appropriate port, path, address,

 

value, and so on. You can enter the command in either upper-

 

or lowercase letters at the prompt.

Keys

called out by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the

 

Escape key,” or they may be shown as [Return] or [Esc].

 

If two or more keys are to be pressed simultaneously, the

 

keys are linked with a plus sign (+). For example:

 

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