Keywords and Parameters Together

By combining keywords and parameters in the correct sequence, you can begin using the
CLI to configure and monitor your router. For example, you could specify the command
hostname to change the name of your router by entering a keyword and a parameter.
You need to type only the portion of the keyword that makes it unambiguous, such as
hostn. Here, the value of the parameter, which is the name you assign to the host, is a
string of up to 64 characters.
When you enter this command, the new hostname appears in the prompt.
Another example is a command that requires you to enter a number from within a given
range. The command ip http port requires that a value be entered for the portNumber
parameter. The value of this parameter is a number in the range of 0–65535. For example,
you could enter:
juniper(config)#ip http port 56789
NOTE: You can find detailed information about command syntax, with
parameter values defined, in the JunosE Command Reference Guide.
