In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry.
In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory parameters sepa-
rated by the | character. One option must be selected. For example: flowcontrol
{auto|on|off} means that for the flowcontrol command either auto, on or off must be
selected.
Indicates a parameter.
Indicates an individual key on the keyboard. For example, <Enter> indicates the Enter
key.
Any combination keys pressed simultaneously on the keyboard.
Indicates system messages and prompts appearing on the console.
When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or parameters and all is an
option, the default for the command is all when no parameters are defined. For exam-
ple, the command interface range port-channel has the option of either entering a
range of channels, or selecting all. When the command is entered without a parameter,
it automatically defaults to all.
