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.)
