Document Conventions

Throughout this guide, the term Admin portal, refers to the user interface of the primary Administration node.

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:

1. Option > Option: Used to select a series of menu options.

2. Variables for which you must supply a value are shown in italic font.

3. Examples that contain system prompts denote interactive sessions and indicate 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.

Examples use these conventions:

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

•Information you enter is in boldface screen font.

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

•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.

Caution Means reader be careful. You are capable of doing something that might result in equipment damage or loss of data.

Timesaver Means the described action saves time. You can save time by performing the action described in the paragraph.

Note Means reader take note. Notes identify important information that you should think about before continuing, contain helpful suggestions, or provide references to materials not contained in the document.
