Description
A command keyword. An alphanumeric string with "-"
allowed.
Variables for which you supply values. A command
parameter name, where the name can be anything.
Optional syntax that can be a keyword, parameter,
option or any combination thereof.
Required - one of the alternatives must be selected. The
"|" symbol, which stands for "or" is only valid in this
context.
Zero or more occurrences of "expansion" are possible.
Expansion must be a keyword, parameter, options or
any combination thereof.
Complete contents of the bracket [...<uid1><uid2>]
("user-ids") implies that users must be added to the
system two at a time.
Most CLI commands have a no form. In general, the no form
disables a feature/function or restores a default for Layer 3
commands. Clear disables the Layer 2 set commands. The
Description section of each command describes the no or clear form
(if applicable to the command).
