Configuration d'un switch HP Procurve

HP v1910-24G CLI Goody

theITHollow.com lab suffered an outage to the core switch a few weeks ago (an aging Cisco 3750) and I

was looking for a replacement that wouldn’t break the bank. Luckily I found the HP v1910-24G (JE006A)

to be more than adequate. One of my main gripes with this switch was that the Command Line Interface

was very limited. See for yourself.

While the cli out of the box is nice, and I would say necessary, there isn’t a lot that can be done with it. For

basic configuration tasks, you’ll be stuck with the Web GUI. But after digging through some HP discussion

boards I found out that you can enable the Comware operating system commands.

Add Comware CLI

First things first, be sure to enable SSH or Telnet so that you can access the switch via a terminal emulator

such as Putty. To do this, I used the web client.

Next, use Putty to connect to the switch over SSH and login to the switch. Once you have a command line

interface, run the following command:

_cmdline-mode on

You will then be asked if you want to allow all commands to be executed. Of course you do! Then you’ll

be asked for a password which I found on this HP Discussion Board. The Password is 512900

Now that you’ve turned on the command line, you can use the normal Comware OS commands that you

may be accustomed to running in order to configure things like VLANS and things.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously you saw the warning in the previous screenshot that this should only be done

with an Engineer’s guidance so I’m sure this is unsupported by HP, don’t use this in a production

environment. I’m guessing this switch is used in a lot of labs which is why I’m posting the info.

If you are a Cisco or Procurve Admin and aren’t familiar with the syntax, I recommend looking at this

guide. I know that I did. One more thing I wanted to mention was that in Putty at least, the command line

can be a bit frustrating because the backspace button on your keyboard won’t work. I don’t know about

you but I mistype things all the time so this is a problem. To fix this, you can go to the Terminal –>

Keyboard section of Putty and change the Backspace Key from “Control-?(127)” to “Control-H” which

should resolve that issue for you.

Now you can use the

HP v1910-24G CLI to play around and configure your switch. Have Fun!

La première connexion s'effectue via le port console du switch. On utilisera pour cela un cable

série fourni en général avec le switch.

Nous aurons également besoin d'un terminal de connexion.

Exemples de logiciel client pour port série:

Pour Windows: hyperterminal, tera term pro

Pour Linux: minicom

Configuration du terminal

Présentation du mode console d'un switch HP

Mode avec et sans privilège

Une fois connecté, nous sommes placés dans un mode sans privilège. Il est possible dans ce

mode d'effectuer uniquement quelques commandes de diagnostique ou d'information. L'invite

de commande du mode sans privilège est la suivante: Switch> Pour pouvoir modifier la configuration, il faut passer en mode privilégié en entrant la

commande "enable". Switch>enable

Switch#

Console : autres modes

En fonction des commandes entrées, le switch va présenter des invites de commande

différentes.

Quelques exemples d'invite de commande en fonction du contexte:

switch-2850# conf t

switch-2850(config)#

Mode configuration d'une interface: switch_hp(config)# interface ethernet 2

switch_hp(eth-2)#

Navigation entre les modes

La commande exit permet d'accéder au contexte précédent. switch_hp(config)# interface ethernet 2

switch_hp(eth-2)#

Switch(config)#exit

Switch#

Enfin, la commande logout permet la déconnexion. switch-2850> logout

Do you want to log out [y/n]? y

Aide pour la console

Le point d'interrogation affiche les différentes commandes disponibles en fonction du

contexte dans lequel nous nous trouvons.

Par exemple: switch-2850#?

boot Reboot the device.

clear Clear table/statistics or authorized client public

keys.

configure Enter the Configuration context.

copy Copy datafiles to/from the switch.

debug Enable/disable debug logging.

end Return to the Manager Exec context. Le ? affiche les choix possibles lors de la frappe d'une commande.

Par exemple: Switch#sh?

Aide sur les commandes entrées

hp-2600(config)# hostname help

Usage: hostname ASCII-STR

Description: Specify the device name for administrative purposes. The

ASCII-STR defines the device name. It can be up to 30

characters. Use quotes if your device name contains

spaces.

hp-2600(config)# Enfin, ? nous indique les choix possibles lors de la frappe des caractères d'une commande.

Exemple: switch-2850# show ?

accounting Show Accounting configuration parameters.

arp Show the IP ARP translation table.

authentication Show Authentication configuration parameters.

authorization Show Authorization configuration parameters.

banner show the configured banner text.

boot-history Display the system boot log.

Commande abrégée

Il est souvent possible d'utiliser les commandes abrégées.

Par exemple les commandes suivantes envoient le même résultat:

switch-2850# show running-config

Running configuration:

; J9022A Configuration Editor; Created on release #N.11.15

hostname "switch-2850"

switch-2850# sh run

Running configuration:

; J9022A Configuration Editor; Created on release #N.11.15

hostname "switch-2850"

Complétion automatique des commandes

Il est possible de compléter automatiquement les premiers caractères d'une commande en

appuyant sur la touche tabulation.
