Text conventions

This guide uses the following text conventions:

angle brackets (< >)	Indicate that you choose the text to enter based on the
	description inside the brackets. Do not type the
	brackets when entering the command.
	Example: If the command syntax is:
	ping <ip_address>, you enter:
	ping 192.32.10.12
bold text	Indicates command names and options and text that
	you need to enter.
	Example: Enter show ip {alerts routes}.
	Example: Use the dinfo command.
braces ({})	Indicate required elements in syntax descriptions
	where there is more than one option. You must choose
	only one of the options. Do not type the braces when
	entering the command.
	Example: If the command syntax is:
	show ip {alerts routes}, you must enter
	either:
	show ip alerts or show ip routes, but not
	both.
brackets ([ ])	Indicate optional elements in syntax descriptions. Do
	not type the brackets when entering the command.
	Example: If the command syntax is:
	show ip interfaces [-alerts], you can enter
	either:
	show ip interfaces or show ip interfaces
	-alerts.
ellipsis points (. . . )	Indicate that you repeat the last element of the
	command as needed.
	Example: If the command syntax is:
	ethernet/2/1 [<parameter> <value>] . . . ,
	you enter
	ethernet/2/1 and as many parameter-value pairs as
	needed.
