Description
Optionally executes a code block based on the condition supplied.
Syntax Description
| expression | Specifies the condition for which the statements should be executed. |
| statements | Actions to be executed when the specified conditions are met. |

N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command is usually followed by statements that are executed if the condition evaluates to true.
It can also be followed by an ELSE block, which is executed if the condition evaluates to false.
The IF construct should be terminated by an ENDIF command.
The _expression must be enclosed in parentheses.
The IF construct can be nested inside other IF and WHILE constructs. Nesting is supported up to five levels. If there is incorrect nesting of IF conditions, an error message is displayed. If a user tries to execute more than five nested IF conditions, an error message is displayed.
The operators mentioned in Using Operators can be used in an _expression in an IF condition.
You can insert comments by using a number sign (#).

IF ($x > 2) THEN
show switch
