Convention	Description
Screen displays	This typeface represents information as it appears on the
	screen.
Command	The word “command” means that you enter the command
	exactly as shown in the text and then press Return or Enter.
	Commands appear in bold. Example:
	To set flow control, enter the following command:

ethernet flowControl

	This guide always gives the full form of a command.
	However, you can abbreviate commands by entering just
	enough characters to distinguish one command from
	another similar command, as shown in “Valid Minimum
	Abbreviations” under each command description.
	Commands are not case sensitive.
The words “enter”	When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type
and “type”	something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not
	press Return or Enter when an instruction simply says
	“type.”
Keyboard key names	If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key
	names are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
	Press Ctrl+C.
Words in italics	Italics are used to:
	■ Emphasize a point
	■ Denote a new term when it is defined in text
