1-3 Command Syntax Symbols
The following symbols are used to describe how command entries are made and values and
arguments are specified in this manual. The online help contained in the CLI and available through
the console interface uses the same syntax.
Note: All commands are case-sensitive. Be sure to disable Caps Lock or any other unwanted
function that changes text case.

{secondary | state [enable | disable] | proxy_arp [enable | disable]
{local [enable | disable]}}
users must supply an IP interface name for <ipif_name 12> and a
VLAN name for <vlan_name 32> when entering the command. DO
NOT TYPE THE ANGLE BRACKETS.
square brackets [ ]
Encloses a required value or list of required arguments. Only one
value or argument must be specified. For example, in the syntax
create account [admin | operator | power_user | user] <username
15> {encrypt [plain_text | sha_1] <password>}
users must specify either the admin-, operator-, power_user-level or
user-level account when entering the command. DO NOT TYPE THE

users have the option to specify hops or time or both of them. The "(1)"
following the set of braces indicates at least one argument or value
within the braces must be specified. DO NOT TYPE THE
