Mathew J. Heath Van Horn, PhD
This cheat sheet is an oft-requested piece of material. It contains commands frequently referenced by students who do not want to find the material elsewhere. It is argued that when students create their own cheat sheets, their learning is greatly enhanced, but we provide this one as an example.

- Rename the device – very handy when you have multiple putty sessions going
system identity set name=<new name>

ip address add address=x.x.x.x/x interface=<interface name>
