General Syntax

Here is the general syntax for a N1 System Manager command:

command object [object-value] [object [object-value]]* [attribute[=][attribute-value]]* [keyword]*

• command – The action taken on the objects.

• object – A system-defined object that is fundamental to the operation being performed. The target of the operation is usually the first object in the command's syntax.

• object-value – A value for the object, which is usually user-defined. Values containing spaces must be enclosed within quotes.

• attribute – A system–defined and optional object that affects the way the operation is performed.

• attribute–value – A user-defined value for the attribute. Values containing spaces must be enclosed within quotes.

• keyword – A system-defined attribute without a value.

For simplification purposes, the attribute term is usually used to describe both objects and keywords.
