Introduction

CONVENTIONS

Abstract

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

Command Syntax Statements

Syntax:

aaaport-access authenticator PORT-LIST [ control < authorized auto unauthorized >]

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

■Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional elements.

■Braces ( < > ) enclose required elements.

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

■All caps indicate variables for which you must supply a value when executing 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 the Series 8212zl switches, for example, display the following CLI prompt:

■ProCurve Switch 8212zl#

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

ProCurve#

HPswitch#

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