Getting Started
Conventions
Command Prompts
In the default configuration, your Series 5300XL switch displays one of the
following CLI prompts:
HP Procurve Switch 6400#
HP Procurve Switch 5304#
HP Procurve Switch 5308#
HP ProCurve Switch 3400-24#
HP ProCurve Switch 3400-48#
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.)
Screen Simulations
Displayed Text. Figures containing simulated screen text and command
output look like this:
Figure 1-1. Example of a Figure Showing a Simulated Screen
In some cases, brief command-output sequences appear without figure iden-
tification. For example:
HPswitch(config)# clear public-key
HPswitch(config)# show ip client-public-key
show_client_public_key: cannot stat keyfile
Port Numbering Conventions. HP ProCurve stackable switches designate
individual ports with sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) HP ProCurve chassis
switches designate individual ports with a letter/number combination to show
the slot in which the port is found and the sequential number the port has in
that slot (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.) Examples that include port numbering informa-
tion often include only one of these port numbering conventions. Unless
otherwise noted, you can assume that the example applies to your switch,
regardless of its port numbering convention.
