3.3 Restricted Commands
To prevent unauthorized users from changing server-wide characteristics, some commands require
privileged (superuser) status. To obtain privileged status, enter the privileged password. See Privileged
Password on page 3-8 for more information about passwords, including the default passwords.
3.4 Command Types
The following commands appear frequently throughout this manual. There are subtle differences between
each group of commands, as explained below.
3.4.1 Set and Define
Set
Makes an immediate but not permanent change. To make the change
permanent, use the Save command after configuration is complete.
Save
Makes a group of commands entered with the Set command permanent. For
example, users can enter several Set commands to configure a service, then
Save the service.
Note:
Settings that are made with both Set and Save behave as if they were configured
using Define commands. See Save on page 12-21 for more information.
Define
Makes a permanent change that generally doesn’t take effect until the unit is
rebooted. Define Port will take effect as soon as the port is logged out and
Define SLIP will take effect once a new SLIP session is started.
3.4.2 Show, Monitor, and List
