This typeface represents information as it appears on the

 

screen.

 

 

Syntax

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

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.

 

 

 

The words “enter”

When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type

and “type”

something, and then press Return or Enter. 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+Alt+Del

 

 

 

Words in italics

Italics are used to:

 

 

Emphasize a point.

 

 

Denote a new term at the place where it is defined in the

 

 

text.

 

 

Identify menu names, menu commands, and software

 

 

button names. Examples:
