The Style Team agreed to allow footnotes in text, but only for citations, not discussions or explanations.1 Note N1_Note1 can be used under body text. The icon appears automatically. If you have more than one paragraph in a note, please use a shift return between paragraphs. A line below will automatically appear at the end of the Note. • This is Bu1_Bullet1_w/Next.

Step 1 This is SF_StepFirst_w/Next a. This is NsF_NumsubFirst a. This is NsF_NumsubFirst_w/Next Description of Graphic Icons All icons will appear automatically, as they are attached to the paragraph tags. There are two special cases of formatting required: with translated warnings, and with tip bullets. Warning This is Warn. Text is specially emphasized. The icon and lines appear automatically, and are resident on the reference page. A list of translated warnings are formatted slightly differently than English language warnings. The next three warnings, formatted in a standard table F, would be typical of a translated list, with the first warning in English using the Warn paragraph tag and WarnTransTextFirst. It is followed by each translation; the translated warning word in the left column uses the WarnTrans para. tag, and the translated warning text in the right column uses the WarnTransText para. tag. The last translated warning text uses WarnTransTextLast. Warning This warning paragraph tag (WarnNonsafety) should only be used for EMC and Telecom warnings. The following formats have automatic text, icons, and lines above and below. Caution This is Cautn. The icon and lines appear automatically, and are resident on the reference page. Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

All steps which are used in tables are to be formatted in this table, or in the wide version. Writers may copy a preformatted STEP table from the reference page. Please do not insert a new table, as there are custom table settings applied to STEP tables. There should be a reason for putting steps into tables, such as needing to describe a Step with a Command and its Purpose or Description. There are examples included in this table to show you what formats can be used in a table. Do not use Step* paragraph tags in STEP tables. The following shows table format STEPWIDE. All steps which are used in tables are to be formatted this way. Writers may copy a preformatted STEPWIDE table from the reference page. Please do not insert a new table, as there are custom table settings applied to STEPWIDE tables. There should be a reason for putting steps into tables, such as needing to describe a Step with a Command and its Purpose or Description. Please see the table above for examples showing what formats can be used in a table. Do not use Step* paragraph tags in STEPWIDE tables. Table 1-4, Part 2 This is an optional TCWN_TableCapWPartNext.

All figures which are paired with steps are to be formatted this way. The step and the explanation should stay together, with the figures appearing in the right column. Note that the figure within the table cell is attached to an Anchor paragraph. Use this example for formatting. Figures could also be used in a table format B without steps, with the figures in the right column. Use this example for formatting. 1. TFi_TableFootnoteIndent. 2. TFi_TableFootnoteIndent. To do this Use this display Step 1 Action performed for step 1. • The anchored frame is attached to an Anchor paragraph. • The illustration is aligned Top and Left Sides inside the anchored frame. • Pull the bottom of the anchored frame down .25’ from the bottom of the illustration. • A figure in a table should not have a figure caption. Step 2 Action performed for step 2. This is B1_Body1. CellHead1 CellHead1 If this type of table were used, an Anchor paragraph is placed at the top of this cell, to align the text with the figure. This type of table would not contain steps. If this type of table were used, an Anchor paragraph is placed at the top of this cell, to align the text with the figure.1-12 Book Title OL-xxxxx-xx REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONF IDENT IAL Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Error MessagesError Message EM_ErrMsg error message error message error message error message error message error message error message Explanation EE_ErrExp Explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation 1.

Supported User Roles Administrator Command Types Use the following command syntax to enable a default VPDN group configuration: accept dialin l2tp virtual-template 1 Typically, you need one VPDN group for each LAC. For an LNS that services many LACs, the configuration can become cumbersome; however, you can use the default VPDN group configuration if all the LACs will share the same tunnel attributes. Note The vpdn group command must be configured with the accept dialin or request dialin command to be functional. The requester initiates a dial in tunnel. The acceptor accepts a request for a dial in tunnel. Command History l2f | l2tp | any (Optional) Indicates which Layer 2 tunnel protocol to use for a dialin tunnel. • l2f—Layer 2 forwarding protocol. • l2tp—Layer 2 tunnel protocol. • any—VPDN will use autodetect to determine which tunnel type to use, either l2f or l2tp. virtual-template number The virtual template interface that the new virtual access interface cloned from. remote-peer-name (Optional) Case-sensitive name that the remote peer will use for identification and tunnel authentication.
