Rules for entering CONFIG commands
CONFIG commands must start with a command
verb (set, view, delete).
You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three
characters (set, vie, del).
CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can
enter "SET," "Set," or "set."
Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter
"Ethernet," "ETHERNET," or "ethernet" as a
keyword without changing its meaning.
Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that
they are differentiated from other keywords.
Text strings can be as many as 32 characters
long, unless otherwise specified.
Special characters are represented using
backslash notation.
Text strings may be enclosed in double (") or
single (') quote marks. If the text string includes
an embedded space, it must be enclosed in
quotes.
Special characters are represented using
backslash notation.
Enter numbers as integers.
Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0
to 255).
