Command Syntax Conventions

The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions used in the AsyncOS Configuration Guide. The Configuration Guide describes these conventions as follows:

• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally, as shown. In actual configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface indicates commands that are manually input by the user (such as a status command).

• Italics indicate new terms, emphasized words, and command-line variables; for command-line variables, the italicized text is a placeholder for the actual name or value.
