Port Identity Convention for Examples
Screen Simulations
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 outside of a num-
bered figure. For example:
HPswitch(config)# ip default-gateway 18.28.152.1/24
HPswitch(config)# vlan 1 ip address 18.28.36.152/24
HPswitch(config)# vlan 1 ip igmp
Port Identity Convention for Examples
This guide describes software applicable to both chassis-based and stackable
HP 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. However, unless otherwise noted, such examples apply equally to the
stackable switches, which typically use only numbers, such as “1”, “3-5”, “15”,
etc. for port identities.
