Symbols
You may see a variety of symbols shown as part of the command
syntax. These symbols explain how to enter the command, and you
do not type them as part of the command itself. Table 5.1
summarizes command syntax symbols. Press the Tab key in the
command line interface for more command options.
Table 5.1: Command Syntax Symbols
Symbol Description
< > Angle brackets Enclose a variable or value. You must specify the variable or value.
For example, in the syntax:
configure vlan <name> ipaddress <ip_address>
you must supply a VLAN name for <name> and an address for
<ip_address> when entering the command. Do not type the angle
brackets.
[ ] Square brackets Enclose a required value or list of required arguments. You can
specify one or more values or arguments. For example, in the syntax:
use image [primary | secondary]
you must specify either the primary or secondary image when
entering the command. Do not type the square brackets.
| Vertical bar Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be
entered. For example, in the syntax:
configure snmp community [readonly | readwrite]
<string>
you must specify either the read or the write community string in the
command. Do not type the vertical bar.
{ } Braces Enclose an optional value or a list of optional arguments. You can
specify one or more values or arguments. For example, in the syntax
reboot {<date> <time> | cancel}
you can specify either a particular date and time combination, or the
keyword
cancel to cancel a scheduled reboot. If you do not specify a
value, the system prompt asks if you want to reboot the routing
switch now. Do not type the braces.
