Rules for entering CONFIG commands
CONFIG commands must start with a command verb (set, view, delete).
You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters (set, vie, del).
CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can enter "SET," "Set," or "set."
Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter "Ethernet," "ETHERNET," or "ethernet" as a
keyword without changing its meaning.
Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that they are differentiated from other key-
words.
Text strings can be as many as 64 characters long, unless otherwise specified. In some
cases they may be as long as 255 bytes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Text strings may be enclosed in double (") or single (') quote marks. If the text string
includes an embedded space, it must be enclosed in quotes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Enter numbers as integers, or in hexadecimal, where so noted.
Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0 to 255).
