Thanks for the explanation, but it seems like this is not implemented in
the ComOS 3.7 for the PM2 series. The user guide also mentions that this
command is especially useful for BGP, which you also can not use on a
PM2, only on the PM3 and IRX.

Look:

cs-1.dlf.cistron.nl> ver
Livingston PortMaster PM-2e ComOS 3.7
System uptime is 21 hours 32 minutes
cs-1.dlf.cistron.nl> delete propagation static ospf
Syntax error: usage: delete tablename values
cs-1.dlf.cistron.nl> set bgp on
Syntax error: usage: set port_name,all option value
cs-1.dlf.cistron.nl> set bgp enable
Syntax error: usage: set port_name,all option value
cs-1.dlf.cistron.nl>

So I hope there will be a way in the next ComOS to do this even om PM2 boxes..

Thanks - Mike.
