Nesting square brackets and curly brackets
When reading a command entry, optional keywords are surrounded by square brackets and
mandatory keywords are surrounded by curly brackets. See “Command syntax conventions” on
page xxxv for complete details.
In some cases, these brackets can be nested. In this example, rbridge-id is optional as denoted by
the square brackets, but if you use it, then you must follow it with either a specific rbridge-id or the
word “all.”
Example
command [rbridge-id {rbridge-id | all}]
However, square brackets can appear within curly brackets, showing that while a keyword is
mandatory, supporting operands may be optional, as shown below:
Example
command {security [active] [standby] [disabled]}
command {security [active | standby | disabled] }
