Document Conventions

Command summary tables are organized as follows:

Table 1 Table Title

COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

ip arp status [interface]

Displays an interface’s ARP table.

ip dhcp <interface> client

Releases the specified interface’s DHCP IP address. The

release

interface must be a DHCP client to use this command.

ip dhcp <interface> client

Renews the specified interface’s DHCP IP address. The

renew

interface must be a DHCP client to use this command.

The Table Title identifies commands or the specific feature that the commands configure. The COMMAND column shows the syntax of the command.

The DESCRIPTION column explains what the command does. It may also identify legal input values.

A long list of pre-defined values may be replaced by a command input value ‘variable’ so as to avoid a very long command in the description table. Refer to the command input values table if you are unsure of what to enter.
