Table 2   Text Conventions 
Convention
Description
Screen displays
This typeface 
represents information as it appears on the 
screen.
Commands
The word “command” means that you must enter the 
command exactly as shown and then press Return or Enter. 
Commands appear in bold. Example:
To display the default route metric, from the top level of 
the Administration Console, enter:
ip ospf defaultRouteMetric display
This guide always gives the full form of a command in 
uppercase and lowercase letters. However, you can 
abbreviate commands by entering just enough characters to 
distinguish one command from another similar command. 
Commands are not case sensitive.
The words “enter” 
and “type”
When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type 
something, and then press Return or Enter. Do not press 
Return or Enter when an instruction simply says “type.”
Keyboard key names
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key 
names are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del. 
Words in italics
Italics are used to:
Emphasize a point.
Denote a new term at the place where it is defined in the 
text.
Identify menu names, menu commands, and software 
button names. Examples:
From the Help menu, select Contents.
Click OK.
