Des cription
In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry.
In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory parame-
ters separated 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 example, the command interface range port-channel has the
option of either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the com-
mand is entered without a parameter, it automatically defaults to all.
