Port Identity Convention for Examples

Screen Simulations

Figures containing simulated screen text and command output look like this:

Figure 1-1. Example of a Figure Showing a Simulated Screen

In some cases, brief command-output sequences appear outside of a num­ bered figure. For example:

HPswitch(config)# ip default-gateway 18.28.152.1/24

HPswitch(config)# vlan 1 ip address 18.28.36.152/24

HPswitch(config)# vlan 1 ip igmp

Port Identity Convention for Examples

This guide describes software applicable to both chassis-based and stackable HP ProCurve switches. Where port identities are needed in an example, this guide uses the chassis-based port identity system, such as “A1”, “B3 - B5”, “C7”, etc. However, unless otherwise noted, such examples apply equally to the stackable switches, which typically use only numbers, such as “1”, “3-5”, “15”, etc. for port identities.
