Table 2 Text Conventions
Convention Description
Syntax The word “syntax” means you must evaluate the syntax provided and
supply the appropriate values. Placeholders for values you must supply
appear in angle brackets. Example:
Enable RIPIP using:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen
In this example, you must supply a port number for <port>.
Commands The word “command” means you must enter the command exactly as
shown in text and press the Return or Enter key. Example:
To remove the IP address, enter:
SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0
This guide always gives the full form of a command in uppercase and
lowercase letters. However, you can abbreviate commands by entering
only the uppercase letters and the appropriate value. Commands are
not case-sensitive.
Screen displays This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen.
The words “enter”
and “type”
When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type
something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the
Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:
■ Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the Escape
key”
■ Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc].
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names are
linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
Menu commands
and buttons
Menu commands or button names appear in italics. Example:
From the Help menu, select Contents.
Words in italicized
type
Italics emphasize a point or denote new terms at the place where they
are defined in the text.
