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 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.”

Conventions

■ 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:

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

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.

■ Enter setup at the CLI Manager level prompt.

Procurve# setup
