Document Objectives
This document provides descriptions of the commands for configuring and maintaining your Cisco 700 series router. The chapters describe tasks only in the context of using a particular command. They do not describe how the tasks interrelate or provide comprehensive configuration examples. The appendices provide some descriptions of how the router is configured. However, the information is not a general tutorial. This Cisco 700 Series Command Reference can be used as a standalone reference manual or in conjunction with the Cisco 700 Series Installation Guide and the Cisco 700 Quick Reference Guide.
This publication is for users who are configuring and maintaining the Cisco 700 series routers.

- Appendix A, "Configuring Cisco 700 Series Routers to operate with Routers Running Cisco IOS Software," contains step-by-step instructions for configuring Cisco 700 series routers with a router running Cisco IOS software in various routing environments. In addition, it lists several interoperability issues between Cisco IOS software and Cisco 700 series router software.
- Appendix B, "Using Profiles with Cisco 700 Series Routers," describes a set of user-defined parameters grouped in a customized profile, and associated with a specific remote device.
- Appendix C, "Configuring DHCP Relay, DHCP Server, and PAT," describes application notes and example configurations for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay, DHCP server, Port Address Translation (PAT), and Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP).
- Appendix D, "Ethernet Packet Types," describes the Ethernet packet types.

- Appendix F, "NetBIOS Names," describes the NetBIOS names for Windows NT.
Document Conventions
This publication uses the following conventions to convey instructions and information:
- The caret character (^) represents the Control key.
- For example, the key combinations ^D and Ctrl-D are equivalent: Both mean hold down the Control key while you press the D key. Keys are indicated in capitals, but are not case sensitive.
- A string is defined as a nonquoted set of characters.
- There are a few strings that include quotation marks as part of the statement. Therefore, common practice is not to include the quotation marks unless they are included in the statement. For example, set the SNMP community string to public, does not use quotation marks around the string "public" because when you enter the string you would not include the quotation marks.
Command descriptions use these conventions:
- Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive, elements.
- Square brackets ([ ]) indicate optional elements.
- Variables for which you supply values are in italic font.
- Examples that contain system prompts denote interactive sessions, indicating the user enters the command at the prompt. The system prompt indicates the current command mode. For example, the prompt
router:2503>
indicates profile mode. The exception is where a list of commands is provided in an example configuration; the prompt is not shown for the sake of clarity.
- Fixed information you enter is in boldface
screen
font. Variable information you enter is in italic font.
- Terminal sessions and information the system displays are in
screen
font.
- Nonprinting characters, such as passwords, are in angle brackets (< >).
The command syntax contains a combination of bold and regular uppercase and lower case alphanumeric characters. You can enter the full text of the commands or you can enter the abbreviated form. The abbreviated form consists of the first characters in each word, shown in bold uppercase type in the command syntax. The bold uppercase characters are the minimum you must enter for the command to be recognized and executed.
The actual commands you enter are not case sensitive. The capitalization and bold type are used in this manual only to differentiate the characters required for the abbreviated forms of commands.
For example, The syntax of the set system command is as follows:
>SEt SYstemname [systemname]
systemname>
The complete version of the set system command can be entered at the command prompt as follows:
>set systemname systemname
systemname>
The abbreviated version of the same command can be entered as follows:
>se sy systemname
systemname>
