Description
When the word "enter" is used in this guide, it means type something, then press the Return or
Enter key. Do not press the Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says "type."
When the word "syntax" is used in this guide, it indicates that the general form of a command
syntax is provided. You must evaluate the syntax and supply the appropriate port, path, value,
address, or string; for example:
Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for !<port>.
When the word "command" is used in this guide, it indicates that all variables in the command
have been supplied and you can enter the command as shown in text; for example:
Remove the IP address by entering the following command:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
For consistency and clarity , the full form syntax (upper- and lowercase letters) is provided. However, you
can enter the abbreviated form of a command by typing only the uppercase portion and supplying the
appropriate port, path, address, value, and so forth. You can enter the command in either upper- or
lowercase letters at the prompt.
This typeface is used to represent displays that appear on your terminal screen, for
example:
NetLogin:
This typeface is used to represent commands that you enter, for example:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
When specific keys are referred to in the text, they are called out by their labels, such as "the Return
key" or "the Escape key," or they may be shown as [Return] or [Esc].
If two or more keys are to be pressed simultaneously, the keys are linked with a plus sign (+), for
example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
Italics are used to denote new terms or emphasis .
