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 information 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.
Keys
Simulations of actual keys use a bold, sans-serif typeface with square brackets.
For example, the Tab key appears as
[Tab] and the “Y” key appears as [Y].
