Text Conventions
Important concepts throughout this manual are emphasized with these 
special text styles:
[Buttons]
Function buttons that appear on a screen ar
shown in regular body text and enclosed in 
square brackets. For example: 
[Close]
[Send]
Commands
In command lines, type text that appears in 
this style exactly as shown:
avdumpdb
BNC OFF
Press the 
commands.
Variable 
Arguments
Variable arguments are text that you specify. 
They are shown in italics. For example:
avaccess
switch_name
In this case, “switch_name” is variable text. 
To enter the command, type 
avaccess
and then the actual name of the switch.
...
Ellipses (...) signify that the preceding argu-
ment can be repeated a number of times. For 
example:
cat
filename...
means that you would typ
cat
followed
by one or more filenames.
