Conventions

This guide uses the following conventions for command syntax and displayed information.

Command Syntax Statements

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list>

[ control < authorized auto unauthorized >]

■Vertical bars ( ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.

■Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional elements.

■Braces ( < > ) enclose required elements.

■Braces within square brackets ( [ < > ] ) indicate a required element within an optional choice.

■Boldface indicates use of a CLI command, part of a CLI command syntax, or other displayed element in general text. For example:

“Use the copy tftp command to download the key from a TFTP server.”

■Italics indicate variables for which you must supply a value when executing the command. For example, in this command syntax, < port- list > indicates that you must provide one or more port numbers:

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list>

Command Prompts

In the default configuration, your switch displays one of the following CLI prompts:

HP ProCurve Switch 4104#

HP ProCurve Switch 4108#

HP ProCurve Switch 2626#

HP ProCurve Switch 2650#

HP ProCurve Switch 6108#

To simplify recognition, this guide uses HPswitch to represent command prompts for all models. For example:

HPswitch#

(You can use the hostname command to change the text in the CLI prompt.)
