Command Syntax Symbols

The following symbols are used to describe how command entries are made and
values and arguments are specified in this manual. The online help contained in the
CLI and available through the console interface uses the same syntax.
All commands are case-sensitive. Be sure to disable Caps Lock or any other
unwanted function that changes text case.
Syntax
angle brackets < >
square brackets [ ]
vertical bar |
braces { }
parentheses ( )
ipif <ipif_name 12>
metric <value 1-31>
Encloses a variable or value. Users must specify the variable or value. For
example, in the syntax
create ipif <ipif_name 12> {<network_address>} <vlan_name 32>
{secondary | state [enable | disable] | proxy_arp [enable | disable] {local
[enable | disable]}}
users must supply an IP interface name for <ipif_name 12> and a VLAN
name for <vlan_name 32> when entering the command. DO NOT TYPE THE
ANGLE BRACKETS.
Encloses a required value or list of required arguments. Only one value or
argument must be specified. For example, in the syntax
create account [admin | operator | power_user | user] <username 15>
{encrypt [plain_text | sha_1] <password>}
users must specify either the admin-, operator-, power_user-level or user-
level account when entering the command. DO NOT TYPE THE SQUARE
BRACKETS.
Separates mutually exclusive items in a list. For example, in the syntax
reset {[config |system]} {force_agree}
users may choose config or system in the command. DO NOT TYPE THE
VERTICAL BAR.
Encloses an optional value or a list of optional arguments. One or more
values or arguments can be specified. For example, in the syntax
config dhcp_relay {hops <int 1-16> | time <sec 0-65535>}(1)
users may choose config or system in the command. DO NOT TYPE THE
BRACES.
Indicates at least one or more of the values or arguments in the preceding
syntax enclosed by braces must be specified. For example, in the syntax
config dhcp_relay {hops <int 1-16> | time <sec 0-65535>}(1)
users have the option to specify hops or time or both of them. The "(1)"
following the set of braces indicates at least one argument or value within
the braces must be specified. DO NOT TYPE THE PARENTHESES.
12 means the maximum length of the IP interface name.
1-31 means the legal range of the metric value.
