Stylistic conventions
To help you easily identify and understand important information, our
documentation uses the stylistic conventions described below.
Using the solution examples
All examples in this documentation use only private class IP addresses.
When you set up the solutions we describe, you must use valid IP addresses
suitable to your own network in place of our sample addresses.
Identifying new terms
To help you identify sections where a term is defined, the term itself is
shown in bold italic text. For example, a virtual server is a specific
combination of a virtual address and virtual port, associated with a content
site that is managed by a BIG-IP system or other type of host server.
Identifying references to objects, names, and commands
We apply bold text to a variety of items to help you easily pick them out of a
block of text. These items include web addresses, IP addresses, utility
names, and portions of commands, such as variables and keywords. For
example, with the bigpipe pool <pool_name> show command, you can
specify a specific pool to show by specifying a pool name for the
<pool_name> variable.
