The following table provides guidelines for entering and format-
ting CONFIG commands.

If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you 
to enter additional information. For example, you must specify 
which vir tual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up 
a Cayman Gateway.

Command verbs

CONFIG commands must start with a command verb 
(set, view, delete).

You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters 
(set, vie, del).

CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can enter 
“SET,” “Set,” or “set.”

Keywords

Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter “Ether-
net,” “ETHERNET,” or “ethernet” as a keyword without 
changing its meaning.

Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that they are 
differentiated from other keywords. 

Argument Text

Text strings can be as many as 64 characters long, 
unless otherwise specified. In some cases they may be 
as long as 255 bytes.

Special characters are represented using backslash 
notation.

Text strings may be enclosed in double (“) or single (‘) 
quote marks. If the text string includes an embedded 
space, it must be enclosed in quotes.

Special characters are represented using backslash 
notation.

Numbers

Enter numbers as integers, or in hexadecimal, where so 
noted.

IP addresses

Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0 to 
255).
