Managed Switch Cli Manual, Release 8; Command Conventions - NETGEAR GSM7228PS Cli Manual

• network parms is the command name.
• <ipaddr> and <netmask> are parameters and represent required values that you must
enter after you type the command keywords.

description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following information:
• Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.
• Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.
• Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.
The show commands also contain a description of the information that the command shows.
