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
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.
italic text	Indicates file and directory names, new terms, book titles,
	and variables in command syntax descriptions. Where a
	variable is two or more words, the words are connected
	by an underscore.
	Example: If the command syntax is:
	show at <valid_route> then valid_route
	is one variable and you substitute one value for it.
screen text	Indicates command names and options, text that you need
	to enter, and system output such as prompts and system
	messages.
	Example: Set Trap Monitor Filters
