The following table describes the command syntax conventions.
| [ ] | In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional entry |
| { } | In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of compulsory parameters separated by the | character. One option must be selected. For example: flowcontrol {auto|on|off} means that for the flowcontrol command either auto, on or off must be selected. |
| Italic font | Indicates a parameter. |
| <Enter> | Any individual key on the keyboard. For example click <Enter> |
| Ctrl+F4 | Any combination keys pressed simultaneously on the keyboard |
| Screen Display | Indicates system messages and prompts appearing on the console |
| all | When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or parameters and all is an option, the default for the command is all when no parameters are defined. For example, the command interface range port-channel has the option of either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the command is entered without a parameter, it automatically defaults to all |
| interface-id | This indicates a port, VLAN or LAG. The syntax for interface_id is as follows: {port_type}port-number |{vlan} vlan-id | {port-channel} LAG-number |
