Formatting Conventions

This documentation uses the following formatting conventions

Formatting Conventions

Convention

Meaning

 

 

Boldface

Information that you type exactly as shown (user input);

 

elements in the user interface.

 

 

<angled braces>

Placeholders for information or parameters that you

 

provide. For example, <FileName> in a command means

 

you type the actual name of a file. Also, new terms, and

 

words used as specific terms, as opposed to their ordinary,

 

descriptive meaning.

Monospace

System output or characters in a command line. User input

 

and placeholders also are formatted using monspace text.

{braces}

A series of items, one of which is required in command

 

statements. For example, { yes no } means you must type

 

yes or no. Do not type the braces themselves.

[brackets]

Optional items in command statements. For example, in

 

the following command, [-range

 

positiveInteger] means that you have the option of

 

entering a range, but it is not required:

 

add lb vserver name serviceType IPAddress

 

port [-rangepositiveInteger]

 

Do not type the brackets themselves.

 

 

(vertical bar)

A separator between options in braces or brackets in

 

command statements. For example, the following indicates

 

that you choose one of the following load balancing

 

methods:

 

lbMethod = ( ROUNDROBIN LEASTCONNECTION

 

LEASTRESPONSETIME URLHASH DOMAINHASH

 

DESTINATIONIPHASH SOURCEIPHASH

 

SRCIPDESTIPHASH LEASTBANDWIDTH

 

LEASTPACKETS TOKEN SRCIPSRCPORTHASH

 

LRTM CALLIDHASH CUSTOMLOAD )

… (ellipsis)

You can repeat the previous item or items in command

 

statements. For example, /route:DeviceName[,…] means

 

you can type additional DeviceNames separated by

 

commas.
