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 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 2650 or 6108 displays one of the
following CLI prompts:
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.)
