• Commands are in courier new font.
• Required input values are in angle brackets <>; for example, ping <ip-
address> means that you must specify an IP address for this command.
• Optional fields are in square brackets []; for instance in the show logins
[name]command, the name field is optional.
The following is an example of a required field within an optional field: snmp-
server [contact <system contact>], the contact field is optional. However,
if you use contact, then you must provide the system contact information.
• The | (bar) symbol means "or".
• italic terms represent user-defined input values; for example, in sys
datetime date [year month date], year month date can be replaced by the
actual year month and date that you want to set, for example, 2007 08 15.
• A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example,
[ENTER] means the "Enter" or "Return" key on your keyboard.
• <cr> means press the [ENTER] key.
• An arrow (-->) indicates that this line is a continuation of the previous line.
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.
