Switch CLI Reference Guide

Text Conventions

This topic describes the text formatting conventions used in this guide.

Bold text indicates a command executed by interacting with the user interface.

Italic text indicates the first occurrence of a new term, as well as a book title, and also emphasized text. Italics are sometimes used to represent user-specified information in this guide.

Items within angle brackets (“< >”) are required information.

Items within square brackets (“[ ]”) are optional information.

Items separated by a “pipe” (“|”) are options. You can select any of them.

Though a command string may be displayed on multiple lines in this guide, it must be entered on a single line, with no carriage returns except at the end of the complete command.
