Entering Commands
Enter commands by typing selections from each successive menu,
then pressing the Enter key. You can also enter the entire command
at the prompt or you can use an alias; both methods are described in
the section, Command Formats.
Use of Square
Brackets [ ]
Some commands in the main menu have square brackets around
them to indicate that the command requires additional parameters.
When you enter one of these commands, a submenu appears that
lists the available parameters.
Note
Do not enter the brackets when you enter the command.
Use of Angle
Brackets <>
This guide sometimes directs you to enter a command with a
variable that is specific to your environment, such as IP or ATM
addresses. The variables you must supply are enclosed in angle
brackets.
For example, to configure a gateway address, enter:
/INET/CONFIG/ROUTE/ADD
where can be in the format,
123.123.123.123.
Note
Do not enter the brackets when you enter the command.
Command
Formats
The software allows you to enter commands in three ways:
❑ By using the complete command
❑ By using a shortcut
❑ By using an alias
Separating Command Words
When you enter any command, separate the command words with a
slash (/). For example:
/ATM/SHOW/CIP
You may also separate commands with spaces.
