Description

Commands

The word “command” means you must enter the
command exactly as shown in text and press the Return
or Enter key. Example:

To remove the IP address, enter the following
command:

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.
