“Syntax” vs. “Command”
When the word “syntax” is used in this guide, it indicates
that the general form of a command syntax is provided.
You must evaluate the syntax and supply the appropriate
port, path, value, address, or string. For example:
Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol =
Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for
!<port>.
When the word “command” is used in this guide, it
indicates that all variables in the command have been
supplied and you can enter the command as shown in
text. For example:
Remove the IP address by entering the following
command:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
For consistency and clarity, the full-form syntax (upper- and
lowercase letters) is provided. However, you can enter the
abbreviated form of a command by typing only the uppercase
portion and supplying the appropriate port, path, address,
value, and so on. You can enter the command in either upper-
or lowercase letters at the prompt.

keys are linked with a plus sign (+). For example:
