• The pipe character (|) indicates a choice where one argument must be entered.
The following are a few syntax examples:
terminal length int
no ntp server-one | server-two | server-three
fc srp itl guid ext t_wwpn fc_lun [policy]
Input strings such as device names and descriptions are usually assumed to be contiguous without any
intervening spaces or blanks. In the event you wish to enter a multi-word string, enclose the string within
double-quotes (“ “), otherwise each word in the string is parsed as a separate argument and will result in a
syntax violation.
The syntax examples are followed by descriptions of each argument on the command line.
Command Modes The Command Modes subsection indicates the command mode you must be to execute
the command.
Privilege Level The Privilege Level subsection indicates the user permissions that are required to execute
the command. For example, there are commands that only an unrestricted read-write user (e.g., super) can
execute that a user with general read-write permissions (e.g., admin) cannot.
Usage Guidelines The Usage Guidelines subsection supplies additional information and details for
executing the command.
Examples The examples section shows actual command entry and the results of executing it.
For example:
HP-IB# show interface gateway 5
