Entering Command Line Interface Commands

The Command Line Interface (CLI) commands can be entered directly at the command line
of a terminal or coded in a script.
Note that the CLI commands are not case sensitive.

Documentation Conventions

Throughout this publication, periods are used to separate the components of a command
name. However, the periods cannot be included when the command is actually entered at
the terminal or coded in a script. (How to enter the commands is explained in Navigation of
the CLI Command Tree on page 8.)
Even though the commands cannot be entered with the periods, the command line
prompts do include the periods.
