Introduction
Introduction
This guide is intended for use with the following ProCurve switches:
■ 8200zl switches
■ 6600 switches
■ 5400zl switches
■ 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches
It describes how to use the command line interface (CLI), Menu interface, and
web browser to configure, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot switch operation. For an overview of product documentation for the above switches, refer
to “Product Documentation” on page xiii. To download the switch documentation, visit the ProCurve Networking manuals web page at t www.hp.com/go/
procurve/manuals .
Conventions
This guide uses the following conventions for commands and screen displays.
Command Syntax Statements
Syntax: ip < default-gateway < ip-addr >> | routing >
Syntax: show interfaces [ port-list ]
■ Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.
■ Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional elements.
■ Braces ( < > ) enclose required elements.
■ Braces within square brackets ( [ < > ] ) indicate a required element within
an optional choice.
■ Boldface indicates use of a CLI command, part of a CLI command syntax,
or other displayed element in general text. For example:
“Use the copy tftp command to download the key from a TFTP server.”
■ Italics indicate variables for which you must supply a value when execut-
ing the command. For example, in this command syntax, you must provide
one or more port numbers:
1-2
Getting Started
Conventions
Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >
Command Prompts
In the default configuration, your switch displays a CLI prompt similar to the
following example:
ProCurve 8212zl#
To simplify recognition, this guide uses ProCurve to represent command
prompts for all switch 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:
ProCurve> show version
Image stamp: /sw/code/build/info
March 1, 2007 13:43:13
K.12.01

ProCurve>
Figure 1-1. Example of a Figure Showing a Simulated Screen
In some cases, brief command-output sequences appear without figure identification. For example:
ProCurve(config)# clear public-key
ProCurve(config)# show ip client-public-key
show_client_public_key: cannot stat keyfile
Configuration and Operation Examples
Unless otherwise noted, examples using a particular switch model apply to all
switch models covered by this guide.
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].
