Cisco Systems OL-24201-01 manual Audience, Document Conventions, Revised April 17

Preface

Revised: April 17, 2014

This guide describes how to use Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS) 5.3.

Audience

This guide is for security administrators who use ACS, and who set up and maintain network and application security.

Document Conventions

This guide uses the convention whereby the symbol ^ represents the key labeled Control. For example, the key combination ^z means hold down the Control key while you press the z key.

Command descriptions use these conventions:

•Examples that contain system prompts denote interactive sessions, indicating the commands that you should enter at the prompt. The system prompt indicates the current level of the EXEC command interpreter. For example, the prompt Router> indicates that you should be at the user level, and the prompt Router# indicates that you should be at the privileged level. Access to the privileged level usually requires a password.

•Commands and keywords are in boldface font.

•Arguments for which you supply values are in italic font.

•Elements in square brackets ([ ]) are optional.

•Alternative keywords of which you must choose one are grouped in braces ({}) and separated by vertical bars ().

Examples use these conventions:

•Terminal sessions and sample console screen displays are in screen font.

•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 ([]).

•An exclamation point (!) at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line.
