About CONFIG Commands
When you are in step mode, the command line interface prompts you to enter required and
optional settings. If a setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line
interface displays the default value for the command in parentheses. If a command has a
limited number of acceptable values, those values are presented in brackets, with each
value separated by a vertical line. For example, the following CLI step command indicates
that the default value is off and that valid entries are limited to on and off.
option (off) [on | off]: on
You can accept the default value for a field by pressing the Return key. To use a different
