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:
• 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
Command line interface 8
Page 9
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
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
Console configuration parameters
“Setting passwords” section in the “First-time configuration” chapter.)
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.
Command line interface 9
Page 10
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.
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
• User Authentication—Local password authentication; Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service
(RADIUS)
Command line interface 10
Page 11
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.
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.
Command line interface 11
Page 12
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.
After logging in, the Main Menu of the CLI is displayed. See the “Menu basics” chapter for a
summary of the Main Menu options.

Idle timeout
By default, the switch will disconnect the console, Telnet, or SSH session after five minutes of
inactivity. This function is controlled by the idle timeout parameter, which can be set from 1 to 60
minutes. For information on changing this parameter, see the “System configuration” section in the
“Configuration Menu” chapter.

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.
[Main Menu]

diff - Show pending config changes [global command]
apply - Apply pending config changes [global command]
save - Save updated config to FLASH [global command]
revert - Revert pending or applied changes [global command]
exit - Exit [global command, always available]
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.

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).
• Operations Command Menu
Menu basics 14
Page 15
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.

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 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 writeview, 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.
The following table describes the SNMPv3 Access Table information.

Parameters Description
Current Root
Path-Cost
Port
Priority (bridge)
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
Priority (port)
Cost
State
Designated bridge
Designated port
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.
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the
designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to
a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated
port for the segment.
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a
segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost.
The State field shows the current state of the port. The State field can be one of the
following: BLOCKING, LISTENING, LEARNING, FORWARDING, or DISABLED.
Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable.
Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.
The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.
This information includes the port priority (hex) and the port number (hex).

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

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.
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.
Shows the maximum number of bridge hops allowed before a packet is dropped.
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the
designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to
a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port
for the segment.
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a
segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting
of zero (0) indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link
speed has been auto-negotiated.

Shows the current role of this port in the Spanning Tree. The port role can be one of
the following: Designated (DESG), Root (ROOT), Alternate (ALTN), Backup (BKUP),
Master (MAST).
Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable.
Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.
The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.
Information includes the port priority (hex) and the port number (hex).
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.
Type of link connected to the port, and whether the port is an edge port. Link type
values are AUTO, P2P, or SHARED.

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
VRRP information:
1: vrid 2, 205.178.18.210, if 1, renter, prio 100, master, server
2: vrid 1, 205.178.18.202, if 1, renter, prio 100, backup
3: vrid 3, 205.178.18.204, if 1, renter, prio 100, master, proxy
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.

tcpRtoAlgorithm
tcpRtoMin
The algorithm used to determine the timeout value used for retransmitting
unacknowledged octets.
The minimum value permitted by a TCP implementation for the retransmission
timeout, measured in milliseconds. More refined semantics for objects of this type
depend upon the algorithm used to determine the retransmission timeout. In
particular, when the timeout algorithm is rsre(3), an object of this type has the
semantics of the LBOUND quantity described in Request For Comments (RFC)
793.

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.
The following table describes the VRRP statistics.
