Command Syntax
A command is one or more words that might be followed by one or more parameters. Parameters
can be required or optional values.
Some commands, such as show network and clear vlan, do not require parameters. Other
commands, such as network parms, require that you supply a value after the command. You
must type the parameter values in a specific order, and optional parameters follow required
parameters. The following example describes the network parms command syntax:
Format
network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]
•
network parms is the command name.
•
<ipaddr> and <netmask> are parameters and represent required values that you must
enter after you type the command keywords.
•
[gateway] is an optional keyword, so you are not required to enter a value in place of the
keyword.
The Command Line Reference lists each command by the command name and provides a brief
description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following information:
•
Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.
•
Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.
•
Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.
The show commands also contain a description of the information that the command shows.
Command Conventions
In this document, the command name and keywords are noted in the following ways:
•
In descriptive text:
Command names in bold font. Keywords are in bold font. Parameters (which are also
referred to as arguments) are in italic font and placed between angle brackets (<>). You
must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value, which might be a name or
number. Parameters are order-dependent.
•
In tables describing the command format, mode, and, if applicable, default:
Command names in regular font. Keywords are in regular font. Parameters are in italic
font and placed between angle brackets (<>). You must replace the parameter name with an
appropriate value, which might be a name or number. Parameters are order-dependent.
The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or keyword
choices.
