Command Conventions
The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or keyword choices.
Parameters are order-dependent. Table 3 describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish
between value types.

Common Parameter Values
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name parameter,
enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System Name with Spaces”
forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid user-defined strings. Table 4
describes common parameter values and value formatting.
Table 4: Parameter Descriptions

In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal formats
