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 8212zl#

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

Configuration and Operation Examples

Unless otherwise noted, examples using a particular switch model apply to all switch models covered by this guide.

Keys

Simulations of actual keys use a bold, sans-serif typeface with square brackets. For example, the Tab key appears as [Tab] and the “Y” key appears as [Y].
