Understanding Command Descriptions

Each command description in the Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Command Reference contains the following
elements:
• A command name, which shows the keywords but not the variables. For example, the following command name
appears at the top of a command description and in the index:
set {ap} name
The set {ap } name command has the following complete syntax:
set {ap port-list | ap-num} name name
• A brief description of the command's functions.
• The full command syntax.
• Any command defaults.
• The command access, which is either enabled or all. All indicates that anyone can access this command. Enabled
indicates that you must enter the enable password before entering the command.
• The command history, which identifies the WSS Software version in which the command was introduced and the
version numbers of any subsequent updates.
• Special tips for command usage. These are omitted if the command requires no special usage.
