Typeface conventions:

Unbolded Courier

type indicates onscreen messages or prompts.

indicate a parameter for which you need to provide an appropriate

value.

[

Square brackets

]

indicate an optional parameter.

[]

indicate an optional

parameter that, should you opt to include it, requires you to provide an appropriate value.

(Multiple|Values)

in parenthesis separated by a vertical line indicate that you must

select one of the values for that parameter. However, parentheses may also contain
parameters for which you need to provide a value. For example,

(all|)

indicates that you can type

all

to view all ports or type a port number to view a specific

port.

Some optional parameters contain both a command and a parameter for which you need to
select from a finite set of values. For example, [

-admin (up|down)

] requires you to

type

-admin up

or

-admin down

, should you choose to include the parameter.

Optional parameters follow the required parameters in the command line, and can be
included in any order.

Italic type indicates the format in which you type the information specified in the
procedure.
