Command syntax conventions

command / keyword

The first word is always a command. Keywords are words that must be
entered as is. Commands and keywords are mandatory.
For example, the command,

RFController>show wlan 1

is documented as

show wlan <idx>

where:

show – The command

wlan – The keyword

<variable>

Variables are described with a short description enclosed within a ‘<‘
and a ‘>’ pair.
For example, the command,

RFController>show wlan 1

is documented as

show wlan <idx>

where:

show – The command – Display information.

wlan – The keyword – The wlan

<idx> – The variable – WLAN Index value.

|

The pipe symbol. This is used to separate the variables/keywords in a
list.
For example, the command

RFController> show .....

is documented as

show [autoinstall|banner|ip|ldap|......]

where:

set – The command

[autoinstall|banner|ip|ldap|......] – Indicates the different
commands that can be combined with the show command.
However, only one of the above list can be used at a time.
show autoinstall ...

show banner ...

show ip ...

show ldap ...

[ ]

Of the different keywords and variables listed inside a ‘[‘ & ‘]’ pair, only
one can be used. Each choice in the list is separated with a ‘|’ (pipe)
symbol.
For example, the command

RFController> clear ...

is documented as

clear [crypto|mobility|spanning-tree]

where:

clear – The command

[crypto|mobility|spanning-tree] – Indicates that three keywords
are available for this command and only one can be used at a time
