Getting Started

Command Prompts
In the default configuration, your switch displays one of the following CLI
prompts:
ProCurve 6400cl#
ProCurve 5304xl#
ProCurve 5308xl#
ProCurve 4204vl#
ProCurve 4208vl#
ProCurve 3400-24cl#
ProCurve 3400-48cl#
To simplify recognition, this guide uses ProCurve to represent command
prompts for all models. For example:
ProCurve#
(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:
ProCurve(config)# clear public-key
ProCurve(config)# show ip client-public-key
show_client_public_key: cannot stat keyfile
Port Identity Examples
This guide describes software applicable to both chassis-based and stackable
ProCurve switches. Where port identities are needed in an example, this guide
uses the chassis-based port identity system, such as “A1, “B3-B5”, “C7”, etc.
