Description
Syntax
Evaluate the syntax provided and supply the appropriate values.
Placeholders for values you must supply appear in angle brackets.
Example:
Enable RIPIP using:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for <port>.
Commands
Enter the command exactly as shown in text and press the Return or
Enter key. Example:
To remove the IP address, enter:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
This guide always gives the full form of a command in
uppercase and lowercase letters. However, you can
abbreviate commands by entering only the uppercase letters
and the appropriate value. Commands are not case-sensitive.
Screen displays
This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen.
The words “enter”
and “type”
When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type
something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the
Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:
■
Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the Escape
key”
■
Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc].
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names are
linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
