CLI command syntax

This guide uses the following conventions to describe command syntax.

• Angle brackets < > indicate variables.
• Vertical bar and curly brackets {|} separate alternative, mutually exclusive required keywords.

  For example:

  execute {reboot | shutdown | ping <host> | traceroute <host>}

  You can enter execute reboot or execute shutdown.

• Square brackets [ ] indicate that a variable is optional.

  For example:

  set [ip] [<ip_address/netmask>]

  To show the current setting, you can enter set ip. To edit the setting, you can enter set ip 192.168.1.100/24.

• A space separates options that must be separated by spaces and must be entered in that specific order.

  For example:

  config system route

• Special characters:
  • The single quotation mark ' and the double quotation mark “ are supported, but must be used in matching pairs.
  • If there are spaces in a string, you must put the string in a pair of quotation marks.
