Command Syntax Conventions
Command Syntax Conventions
This guide uses the following conventions for command syntax and displays.
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, you
must provide one or more port numbers:
Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >
Simulating Display Output
Command Prompts
In the default configuration, your switch’s CLI prompt includes the switch
model number, and appears similar to the following examples:
HP ProCurve Switch 4108#
HP ProCurve Switch 2650#
HP ProCurve Switch 6108#
To simplify recognition, this guide uses HPswitch to represent command
prompts for all models. That is:
HPswitch#
(You can use the hostname command to change the text in the CLI prompt.)
Commands or command output positioned to simulate displays of switch
information in a computer screen are printed in a monospace font, as shown
above.
