Specifying Parameter Values
You must specify each parameter value in the form of a parameter-value pair. Each
pair is a command argument pertaining to the object named first in the command
line.
For example, the following command changes the Breath of Life (BofL) timeout
interval to 4 seconds on ethernet/1/1:
box#
ethernet/1/1 bofl-timeout 4
bofl-timeout 4
is the parameter-value pair.
Required, Derived, and Other Parameters
The BCC indicates when parameter values are required (you must supply a value)
or derived (the BCC supplies a value). For all other parameters, the BCC supplies
a default value that you can change.
Specifying Multiple Parameter-Value Pairs
You can specify parameter values as follows:
• Enter an object name and one parameter-value pair per command line.
• Enter an object name and multiple parameter-value pairs (each pair separated
by a space) on the same command line.
Example:
In the following example, you specify one parameter-value pair on each command
line.
box#
ethernet 2/1
ethernet 2/1#
bofl-retries 6
ethernet 2/1#
bofl-timeout 7
ethernet 2/1#
hardware-filter enabled
ethernet 2/1#
