Getting Started

Conventions

■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 execut­ ing the command. For example, in this command syntax, you must provide one or more port numbers:

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

Command Prompts

In the default configuration, your switch displays a CLI prompt similar to the following example:

ProCurve 2910al#

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

ProCurve#

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

Screen Simulations

Displayed Text. 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 without figure iden­ tification. For example:

ProCurve(config)# clear public-key ProCurve(config)# show ip client-public-key show_client_public_key: cannot stat keyfile
