The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

•Solaris systems use a three-button mouse. To drag and drop an object, click and hold the middle mouse button on the object, drag the object to the target location, then release the button.
•Screen displays can differ slightly from those included in this guide, depending on the system or browser you use.
•Web UI Navigation bar labels can have IPv4 and IPv6 variants depending on the administrator role privileges assigned.
