CLI Command Conventions
When entering commands there are certain command entry standards which apply to all
commands. The following table describes the command conventions.
Convention Description
[ ] In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry.
{ } In a command line, curly brackets indicates a selection of compulsory parameters
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.
Italic font Indicates a parameter.
<Enter> Any individual key on the keyboard. For example click <Enter>.
Ctrl+F4 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
all
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 command is entered without
a parameter, it automatically defaults to all.
