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.
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>
	valid_route is one variable and you substitute one value
	for it.
