Document Conventions
This publication uses the following conventions.
Command descriptions use these conventions:

The system prompt indicates the current level of the EXEC command interpreter. For example, the prompt Console> indicates that you should be at the user level, and the prompt Console>(enable) indicates that you should be at the privileged level. Access to the privileged level usually requires a password. Refer to the related software configuration and reference publications for additional information.
•Commands and keywords are in boldface font.
•Arguments for which you supply values are in italic font.
•Elements in square brackets ([ ]) are optional.
•Alternative but required keywords are grouped in braces ({ }) and separated by vertical bars ().

•Information you enter is in boldface screen font.
•Nonprinting characters, such as passwords, are in angle brackets (< >).
•Default responses to system prompts are in square brackets ([ ]).
