Typeface conventions:

•

Bold Courier

type indicates a command 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 opt to 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.
