Table 1 Notice Icons

Icon	Type		Description
	Information Note		Information notes call attention to important
			features or instructions.
	Caution		Cautions alert you to personal safety risk, system
			damage, or loss of data.
	Warning		Warnings alert you to the risk of severe personal

Table 2	Text Conventions
Convention		Description
“Enter” vs. “Type”		When the word “enter” is used in this guide, it means type
		something, then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the
		Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
“Syntax” vs.		When the word “syntax” is used in this guide, it indicates that the
“Command”		general form of a command syntax is provided. You must

evaluate the syntax and supply the appropriate port, path, value, address, or string; for example:

Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:

SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol =

Listen

In this example, you must supply a port number for !<port>.

When the word “command” is used in this guide, it indicates that all variables in the command have been supplied and you can enter the command as shown in text; for example:

Remove the IP address by entering the following command:

SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0

For consistency and clarity, the full form syntax (upper- and lowercase letters) is provided. However, you can enter the abbreviated form of a command by typing only the uppercase portion and supplying the appropriate port, path, address, value, and so forth. You can enter the command in either upper- or lowercase letters at the prompt.
