Command Line Interface Conventions
Command Input
The Command Line Interface follows these conventions:
• Command line length may be up to 120 characters long.
• The Command Line Interface is not case-sensitive except for passwords and router names.
• Items that appear in bold type must be typed exactly as they appear.However, commands can be shortened to
just those characters necessary to make the command unique.
• Items that appear in italics are placeholders representing specific information that you supply.
• Parameters in between the characters < and > must be entered.
• Parameters in between the characters [ and ] are optional.
• All commands are positional; i.e., each keyword/parameter must be entered in the order displayed.
Command Output
After execution of most commands, the system will return either of the following command prompts:
#
when you are logged in as an administrator, to indicate the end of command execution.
>
to indicate the end of command execution when not you are not logged in.
Sample responses are shown in this chapter. In many cases, only the command prompt is returned. If you have not
entered the correct parameters, the syntax of the command will be displayed.
