|state [enable |disable]} | bootp |dhcp | ipv6 [ipv6address <ipv6networkaddr> |
state [enable| disable]] |ipv4 state [enable | disable] | dhcpv6_client
[enable|disable]
In the above syntax example, users must supply an IP interface name in the
<ipif_name 12> space, a VLAN name in the <vlan_name 32> space, and the
network address in the <network_address> space. Do not type the angle brackets.
config ipif Engineering ipaddress 10.24.22.5/255.0.0.0 vlan Design state enable
Encloses a required value or set of required arguments. One value or argument can be
specified.
create vlan_counter [vlan <vlan_name> | vlanid <vidlist>] {ports [<portlist> |
all]} [all_frame | broadcast | multicast | unicast] [packet | byte]
In the above syntax example, users must specify either an admin or a user level
account to be created. Do not type the square brackets.

Separates two or more mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be
entered.

Encloses an optional value or set of optional arguments.
reset {[config |system]} {force_agree}
In the above syntax example, users have the option to specify config or system. It is
not necessary to specify either optional value, however the effect of the system
reset is dependent on which, if any, value is specified. Therefore, with this example
there are three possible outcomes of performing a system reset. See the following
chapter, Basic Commands for more details about the reset command.
