Command line interface
Introduction
The HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some
of the more advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be
used effectively. This guide provides a command reference for the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch.
The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and
configuring the switch:
• Built-in, text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or
remote Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management
software such as HP Systems Insight Manager
• A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through the Web browser
The command line interface provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing
switch configuration. Using a basic terminal, you can view information and statistics about the switch,
and perform any necessary configuration.
This chapter explains how to access the AOS CLI to the switch.
Additional references
Additional information about installing and configuring the switch is available in the following guides,
which are available at http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
• HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User Guide
• HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch BladeSystem ISCLI Reference
• HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Guide
• HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Browser-based Interface Reference
• HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Quick Setup Instructions
Connecting to the switch
You can access the command line interface in one of the following ways:
• Using a console connection via the console port
• Using a Telnet connection over the network
• Using a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to securely log in over a network
.
9
Command line interface
Establishing a console connection
To establish a console connection with the switch, you need:
•A null modem cable with a female DB-9 connector (See the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User
Guide for more information.)
• An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software set to the parameters shown in
the table below
Table 1 Console configuration parameters
Parameter Value
Baud Rate 9600
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None
To establish a console connection with the switch:
1. Connect the terminal to the console port using the null modem cable.
2. Power on the terminal.
3. Press the Enter key a few times on the terminal to establish the connection.
4. You will be required to enter a password for access to the switch. (For more information, see the
“Setting passwords” section in the “First-time configuration” chapter.)
10
Command line interface
Setting an IP address
To access the switch via a Telnet or an SSH connection, you need to have an Internet Protocol (IP) address
set for the switch. The switch can get its IP address in one of the following ways:
• Management port access:
○ Using a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server—When the /cfg/sys/dhcp command
is enabled, the management interface (interface 250) requests its IP address from a DHCP server.
The default value for the /cfg/sys/dhcp command is enabled.
○ Configuring manually—If the network does not support DHCP, you must configure the
management interface (interface 250) with an IP address. If you want to access the switch from a
remote network, you also must configure the management gateway (gateway 254).
• Uplink port access:
○ Using a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server—By default, the management interface is set up to
request its IP address from a BOOTP server. If you have a BOOTP server on the network, add the
Media Access Control (MAC) address of the switch to the BOOTP configuration file located on
the BOOTP server. The MAC address can be found in the System Information menu. (See the
“System information” section in the “Information Menu” chapter.) If you are using a DHCP server
that also does BOOTP, you do not have to configure the MAC address.
○ Configuring manually—If the network does not support BOOTP, you must configure the
management port with an IP address.
Establishing a Telnet connection
A Telnet connection offers the convenience of accessing the switch from any workstation connected to the
network. Telnet provides the same options for user, operator, and administrator access as those available
through the console port. By default, Telnet is enabled on the switch. The switch supports four concurrent
Telnet connections.
Once the IP parameters are configured, you can access the CLI using a Telnet connection. To establish a
Telnet connection with the switch, run the Telnet program on the workstation and enter the telnet
command, followed by the switch IP address:
telnet <10GbE switch IP address>
You will then be prompted to enter a password. The password entered determines the access level:
administrator, operator, or user. See the “Accessing the switch” section later in this chapter for description
of default passwords.
11
Command line interface
Establishing an SSH connection
Although a remote network administrator can manage the configuration of a switch via Telnet, this
method does not provide a secure connection. The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol enables you to securely
log into the switch over the network.
As a secure alternative to using Telnet to manage switch configuration, SSH ensures that all data sent over
the network is encrypted and secure. In order to use SSH, you must first configure it on the switch. See the
“Secure Shell Server configuration” section in the “Configuration Menu” chapter for information on how
to configure SSH.
The switch can perform only one session of key/cipher generation at a time. Therefore, an SSH/Secure
Copy (SCP) client will not be able to log in if the switch is performing key generation at that time or if
another client has just logged in before this client. Similarly, the system will fail to perform the key
generation if an SSH/SCP client is logging in at that time.
The supported SSH encryption and authentication methods are listed below.
• Server Host Authentication—Client RSA authenticates the switch in the beginning of every connection
• User Authentication—Local password authentication; Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service
(RADIUS)
The following SSH clients are supported:
• SSH 3.0.1 for Linux (freeware)
• SecureCRT® 4.1.8 (VanDyke Technologies, Inc.)
• OpenSSH_3.9 for Linux (FC 3)
• FedoraCore 3 for SCP commands
• PuTTY Release 0.58 (Simon Tatham) for Windows
NOTE: The switch implementation of SSH is based on versions 1.5 and 2.0, and supports SSH
clients from version 1.0 through version 2.0. SSH clients of other versions are not supported. You
may configure the client software to use protocol SSH version 1 or version 2.
By default, SSH service is not enabled on the switch. Once the IP parameters are configured, you can
access the command line interface to enable SSH.
To establish an SSH connection with the switch, run the SSH program on the workstation by issuing the
ssh command, followed by the user account name and the switch IP address:
>> # ssh <user>@<10Gb switch IP address>
You will then be prompted to enter your password.
NOTE: The first time you run SSH from the workstation, a warning message might appear. At the
prompt, enter yes to continue.
12
Command line interface
Accessing the switch
To enable better switch management and user accountability, the switch provides different levels or
classes of user access. Levels of access to the CLI and Web management functions and screens increase
as needed to perform various switch management tasks. The three levels of access are:
• User—User interaction with the switch is completely passive; nothing can be changed on the switch.
Users may display information that has no security or privacy implications, such as switch statistics
and current operational state information.
• Operator—Operators can only effect temporary changes on the switch. These changes will be lost
when the switch is rebooted/reset. Operators have access to the switch management features used
for daily switch operations. Because any changes an operator makes are undone by a reset of the
switch, operators cannot severely impact switch operation, but do have access to the Maintenance
menu.
• Administrator—Only administrators can make permanent changes to the switch configuration,
changes that are persistent across a reboot/reset of the switch. Administrators can access switch
functions to configure and troubleshoot problems on the switch. Because administrators can also
make temporary (operator-level) changes as well, they must be aware of the interactions between
temporary and permanent changes.
Access to switch functions is controlled through the use of unique usernames and passwords. Once you
are connected to the switch via the local console, Telnet, or SSH, you are prompted to enter a password.
The password entered determines the access level. The default user names/password for each access
level is listed in the following table.
NOTE: It is recommended that you change default switch passwords after initial configuration and
as regularly as required under your network security policies. For more information, see the “Setting
passwords” section in the “First-time configuration” chapter.
Table 2 User access levels
User account Description and tasks performed
User The user has no direct responsibility for switch management. He or she can view all switch status
information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration changes to the switch. The user
account is enabled by default, and the default password is user.
Oper The operator manages all functions of the switch. The operator can reset ports or the entire
switch. By default, the operator account is disabled and has no password.
Admin The super user administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and configuration
commands on the switch, including the ability to change both the user and administrator
passwords. The admin account is enabled by default, and the default password is admin.
NOTE: With the exception of the admin user, setting the password to an empty value can disable
access to each user level.
Once you enter the administrator password and it is verified, you are given complete access to the switch.
13

Menu basics
Menu basics
Introduction
The AOS CLI is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use
the CLI for performing all levels of switch configuration.
To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series of menus
and submenus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or submenus that are available, along with a
summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt where you can enter any
command appropriate to the current menu.
This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that
commonly are available from all the menus within the CLI.
Main Menu
The Main Menu displays after a successful connection and login. The following table shows the Main
Menu for the administrator login. Some features are not available under the user login.

Menu summary
The Main Menu displays the following submenus:
• Information Menu
The Information Menu provides submenus for displaying information about the current status of the
switch: from basic system settings to VLANs, and more.
• Statistics Menu
This menu provides submenus for displaying switch performance statistics. Included are port, IP,
ICMP, TCP, UDP, SNMP, routing, ARP, and DNS.
• Configuration Menu
This menu is available only from an administrator login. It includes submenus for configuring every
aspect of the switch. Changes to configuration are not active until explicitly applied. Changes can
be saved to non-volatile memory (NVRAM).
15
Menu basics
• Operations Command Menu
Operations-level commands are used for making immediate and temporary changes to switch
configuration. This menu is used for bringing ports temporarily in and out of service. This menu is
available only from an administrator and operator login.
• Boot Options Menu
The Boot Options Menu is available only from an administrator login. This menu is used for
upgrading switch software, selecting configuration blocks, and for resetting the switch when
necessary. This menu is also used to set the switch back to factory settings.
• Maintenance Menu
This menu is used for debugging purposes, enabling you to generate a technical support dump of
the critical state information in the switch, and to clear entries in the Forwarding Database and the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and routing tables. This menu is available only from an
administrator and operator login.
Global commands
Some basic commands are recognized throughout the menu hierarchy. These commands are useful for
obtaining online Help, navigating through menus, and for applying and saving configuration changes.
For help on a specific command, enter help. The following screen displays:
Global Commands: [can be issued from any menu]

Command line interface shortcuts
The following shortcuts allow you to enter commands quickly and easily.
Command stacking
As a shortcut, you can type multiple commands on a single line, separated by forward slashes (/). You
can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that you want.
For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Configuration Menu from the Main# prompt is:
Main# cfg/sys/ssnmp/name
Command abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters that distinguish the command from
the others in the same menu or submenu.
For example, the command shown above could also be entered as:
Main# c/sys/ssn/n
Tab completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and pressing the Tab key, the CLI will
display all commands or options in that menu that begin with that letter. Entering additional letters will
further refine the list of commands or options displayed.
If only one command fits the input text when the Tab key is pressed, that command will be supplied on the
command line, waiting to be entered. If the Tab key is pressed without any input on the command line,
the currently active menu displays.

The User-based Security Model (USM) in SNMPv3 provides security services such as authentication and
privacy of messages. This security model makes use of a defined set of user identities displayed in the
USM user table. The USM user table contains information like:
• the user name
• a security name in the form of a string whose format is independent of the Security Model
• an authentication protocol, which is an indication that the messages sent on behalf of the user can
be authenticated
• the privacy protocol.
The following table describes the SNMPv3 User Table information.
Table 9 User Table parameters
Field Description
User Name
Protocol
This is a string that represents the name of the user that you can use to access the switch.
This indicates whether messages sent on behalf of this user are protected from disclosure using
a privacy protocol. Switch software supports DES algorithm for privacy. The software also
supports two authentication algorithms: MD5 and HMAC-SHA.
The user can control and restrict the access allowed to a group to only a subset of the management
information in the management domain that the group can access within each context by specifying the
group’s rights in terms of a particular MIB view for security reasons.
The following table describes the SNMPv3 View Table information.

The access control sub system provides authorization services.
The vacmAccessTable maps a group name, security information, a context, and a message type, which
could be the read or write type of operation or notification into a MIB view.
The View-based Access Control Model defines a set of services that an application can use for checking
access rights of a group. This group’s access rights are determined by a read-view, a write-view, and a
notify-view. The read-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group while reading
the objects. The write-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when writing
objects. The notify-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when sending a
notification.

Hello
MaxAge
FwdDel
Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes
the priority (hex) and MAC address of the root.
Path-cost is the total path cost to the root bridge. It is the summation of the path cost
between bridges (up to the root bridge).
The current root port refers to the port on the switch that receives data from the current
root. Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP.
The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the
STP root bridge.
The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a
configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge
uses the root bridge hello value.
The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits
without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the
STP network. If the bridge is not the root bridge, it uses the MaxAge value of the root
bridge.
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge
port has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state. If the bridge
is not the root bridge, it uses the FwdDel value of the root bridge.
Aging
The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits
without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the
Forwarding Database.

VRRP information
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the HP 10GbE switch provides redundancy
between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID
number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as
the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP
address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control
of the virtual router IP address.
Command: /info/l3/vrrp

Information Menu
When virtual routers are configured, you can view the status of each virtual router using this command.
VRRP information includes:
• Virtual router number
• Virtual router ID and IP address
• Interface number
• Ownership status
○owner identifies the preferred master virtual router. A virtual router is the owner when the IP
address of the virtual router and its IP interface are the same.
○renter identifies virtual routers which are not owned by this device
• Priority value. During the election process, the virtual router with the highest priority becomes master.
• Activity status
○ master identifies the elected master virtual router.
○ backup identifies that the virtual router is in backup mode.
○ init identifies that the virtual router is waiting for a startup event. Once it receives a startup
event, it transitions to master if its priority is 255, (the IP address owner), or transitions to backup
if it is not the IP address owner.
• Server status. The server state identifies virtual routers.
• Proxy status. The proxy state identifies virtual proxy routers, where the virtual router shares the same
IP address as a proxy IP address. The use of virtual proxy routers enables redundant switches to
share the same IP address, minimizing the number of unique IP addresses that must be configured.

packets should now be sent to the neighbor at intervals of HelloInterval seconds)
across all OSPF areas and interfaces.
The sum total number of bidirectional communication establishment between this
router and other neighboring routers.
The sum total number of decisions to be made (again) as to whether an adjacency
should be established/maintained with the neighbor across all OSPF areas and
interfaces.

The sum total number of neighbors in this state wherein the Master/slave relationship
has been negotiated, and sequence numbers have been exchanged, across all OSPF
areas and interfaces.
The sum total number of neighbors in this state (that is, in an adjacency's final state)
having transmitted a full sequence of Database Description packets, across all OSPF
areas and interfaces.
The sum total number of Link State Requests which have been received for a link state
advertisement not contained in the database across all interfaces and OSPF areas.
The sum total number of Database Description packets which have been received that
either:
• Has an unexpected DD sequence number
• Unexpectedly has the init bit set
• Has an options field differing from the last Options field received in a Database
Description packet.
Any of these conditions indicate that some error has occurred during adjacency
establishment for all OSPF areas and interfaces.
The sum total number of link state updates received for all out-of-date portions of the
database across all OSPF areas and interfaces.
The sum total number of Hello packets received from neighbors, in which this router is
not mentioned across all OSPF interfaces and areas.

VRRP statistics
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the HP 10GbE switch provides redundancy
between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID
number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device.
One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and
assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers
will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
When virtual routers are configured, you can display protocol statistics for VRRP.
