servers on the Internet, and from email users.

To avoid publication of public IP addresses that belong to Fortinet or any other
organization, the IP addresses used in Fortinet technical documentation are fictional and
follow the documentation guidelines specific to Fortinet. The addresses used are from the
private IP address ranges defined in RFC 1918: Address Allocation for Private Internets,
available at http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt?number-1918.
CLI constraints, such as <address_ipv4>, indicate which data types or string patterns
are acceptable input for a given parameter or variable value. CLI constraint conventions
are described in the CLI Reference document for each product.
Fortinet technical documentation uses the following guidance and styles for notes, tips
and cautions.
