Command summary tables are organized as follows:
The Table Title identifies commands or the specific feature that the commands configure.
The COMMAND column shows the syntax of the command.
The DESCRIPTION column explains what the command does. It may also identify legal
input values.
A long list of pre-defined values may be replaced by a command input value ‘variable’ so as to
avoid a very long command in the description table. Refer to the command input values table
if you are unsure of what to enter.
" Commands are case sensitive! Enter commands exactly as seen in the
command interface. Remember to also include underscores if required.
