Using This Book

This guide contains information for every command for the platforms 

listed at the beginning of this chapter. It includes specific information 

about command syntax, field descriptions, default values, and the 

possible range of values. Some command descriptions include a section 

called “Important Considerations” that contains additional information 

to be aware of when using the command. Where appropriate, examples 

help you to understand the commands. 

This guide does not contain troubleshooting information or instructional 

material about why or when to use a particular command. For 

information about troubleshooting and networking tasks, see the 

Implementation Guide that is shipped with your system on a CD-ROM.
