Typographic ConventionsIn this book, configuration settings and script fragments are typeset in a monospaced font, as in the following example: Switch(config)# ip routing Switch(config)# router rip Switch(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 Switch(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0 Switch(config-router)# exit Switch(config)# vlan 1 Switch(config)# vlan 2 Switch(config)# interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-if)# no shutdown Switch(config-if)# exit Switch(config)# interface vlan 2 Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-if)# no shutdown Switch(config-if)# end Switch# copy running-config startup-config This notation will be consistent with the exact syntax and structure of the Cisco IOS on Cisco switches. Some script fragments include boldface, which indicates commands that should be typed literally. Italic indicates variables, as in the following example: Switch(config)# ip routing Switch(config)# router routing_protocol [options] Switch(config-router)# network network_# [options] Switch(config-router)# exit Switch(config)# vlan VLAN_# Switch(config)# interface vlan VLAN_# Switch(config-if)# ip address IP_address subnet_mask Switch(config-if)# no shutdown |
