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”	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 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	Menu commands or button names appear in italics. Example:
and buttons	From the Help menu, select Contents.
Words in italicized	Italics emphasize a point or denote new terms at the place where they
type	are defined in the text.
