CONVENTIONS

Abstract
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.
■ 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.)
