A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and
arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command "show interfaces status
ethernet g11," show, interfaces and status are keywords, ethernet is an argument that specifies the
interface type, and g11 specifies the port.
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command
keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:
console(config)# username admin password smith
