ONVENTIONS
The following typeface conventions are specific to the Command-Line Interface chapters of this
manual.
•
Bold courier type
indicates text to be typed exactly as shown.
•
Unbolded courier
type indicates onscreen messages or prompts.
•
<Angle Brackets>
indicate a parameter for which you need to provide an appropriate
value.
•
[
Square Brackets
]
indicate an optional parameter.
•
[<Angle brackets within square brackets>]
indicate an optional
parameter that, should you include it, requires you to provide an appropriate value.
•
(Multiple|Values)
in parenthesis separated by a vertical line indicate that you must
select one of the values for that parameter. However, parentheses may also contain
parameters for which you need to provide a value. For example,
(all|<port>)
indicates that you can type
all
to view all ports or type a port number to view a specific
port.
•
Some optional parameters contain both a command and a parameter for which you need to
select from a finite set of values. For example, [
-admin (up|down)
] requires you to
type
-admin up
or
-admin down
, should you choose to include the parameter.
Optional parameters follow the required parameters in the command line, and can be
included in any order.
•
Italic type indicates the format in which you type the information specified in the
procedure.
Notes contain information about special circumstances.
Cautions indicate the possibility of equipment damage or the possibility of
personal injury.
