Commands
This fixed-width font depicts command syntax and
examples of commands and command output.
<angle brackets>
In the command syntax, text within angle brackets
represents items that you should replace with
information appropriate to your specific situation. For
example:
ping <ipaddr>
In this example, you would type “ping” at the system
prompt exactly as shown, followed by the IP address
of the system to which ICMP echo packets are to be
sent. Do not type the angle brackets.
[square brackets]
In the command syntax, items enclosed in brackets
are optional. Do not type the brackets.
{Item_A|Item_B}
In the command examples, single items within curled
braces and separated by a vertical bar represent the
available choices. Enter only one choice. Do not type
the braces or bars.
{ap-name <ap-name>}|{ipaddr <ip-addr>}
Two items within curled braces indicate that both
parameters must be entered together. If two or more
sets of curled braces are separated by a vertical bar,
like in the example to the left, enter only one choice
Do not type the braces or bars.

Command Line Editing
The system records your most recently entered commands. You can review the history of your actions, or
reissue a recent command easily, without having to retype it.
To view items in the command history, use the up arrow key to move back through the list and the down arrow
key to move forward. To reissue a specific command, press Enter when the command appears in the
command history. You can even use the command line editing feature to make changes to the command prior
to entering it. The command line editing feature allows you to make corrections or changes to a command
without retyping. Table 1 lists the editing controls. To use key shortcuts, press and hold the Ctrl button while
you press a letter key.
