Command line interface

Introduction

The HP GbE2c 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 GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade 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 GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem User Guide
• HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem ISCLI Reference Guide

• HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Browser-based Interface Reference Guide
• HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem 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

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 GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class
BladeSystem 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
Command line interface 9
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.)

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 256) 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 256) with an IP address. If you want to access the switch from a remote network, you also must configure the management gateway (gateway 4).
• 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 <GbE2c Ethernet Blade 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.
Command line interface 10
The supported SSH encryption and authentication methods are listed below.
• Server Host Authentication—Client RSA authenticates the switch in the beginning of every connection
• Key Exchange—RSA
• Encryption:
• AES256-CBC
• AES192-CBC
• AES128-CBC
• 3DES-CBC
• 3DES
• ARCFOUR
• 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>@<GbE2c Ethernet Blade 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
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.

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.
Menu basics 17

Setting passwords

HP recommends that you change all passwords after initial configuration and as regularly as required under the network security policies. See the “Accessing the switch” section in the “Command line interface” chapter for a description of the user access levels.
To change the user, operator, or administrator password, you must log in using the administrator password. Passwords cannot be modified from the user or operator command mode.
NOTE: If you forget your administrator password, call HP technical support for help using the password fix-up
mode.

Changing the default administrator password

The administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and configuration commands, including the ability to change the user, operator, and administrator passwords.
The default password for the administrator account is admin. To change the default password:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using the admin password.

Changing the default operator password

The operator manages all functions of the switch. The operator can reset ports or the entire switch. 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.
By default, the operator account is disabled and has no password. This password cannot be changed from the operator account. Only the administrator has the ability to change passwords, as shown in the following procedure.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using the admin password.
2. From the Main Menu, use the following command to access the Configuration Menu:

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.

Parameter Description
Current Root Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes the
priority (hex) and MAC address of the root.
Path-Cost 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).

root. Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP.
Priority (bridge) 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
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
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.

VRRP information

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on GbE2c 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.
NOTE: VRRP commands are available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.
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
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
• Priority value. During the election process, the virtual router with the highest priority becomes master.
• Activity status
3: vrid 3, 205.178.18.204, if 1, renter, prio 100, master, proxy
• 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
• master identifies the elected master virtual router.
• backup identifies that the virtual router is in backup mode.
Information Menu 52
• 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.

dot3StatsFCSErrors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an
integral number of octets in length but do not pass the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) check. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the frameCheckError status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC.
dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface
for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrame object.
dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface
for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames object.
dot3StatsLateCollisions The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular
interface later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet. Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a 10 Mbit/s system. A (late) collision included in a count represented by an instance of this object is also considered as a (generic) collision for purposes of other collision-related statistics.
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface
fails due to excessive collisions.
dot3StatsInternalMacTransmitErrors A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface
fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of either the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds
the maximum permitted frame size. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user).

addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sublayer.
BroadcastPkts—IfHCIn The number of packets, delivered by this sublayer to a higher sublayer, which were
addressed to a broadcast address at this sublayer.
MulticastPkts—IfHCIn The total number of packets, delivered by this sublayer. These are the packets that
higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sublayer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both group and functional addresses.

Viewing, applying, reverting, and saving changes

As you use the configuration menus to set switch parameters, the changes you make do not take effect immediately. All changes are considered pending until you explicitly apply them. Also, any changes are lost the next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved.
While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can:
• View the pending changes
• Apply the pending changes
• Revert to restore configuration parameters set with the last apply command
• Save the changes to flash memory

Viewing pending changes

You can view all pending configuration changes by entering diff at any CLI prompt:
# diff
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash memory by entering
diff flash at any CLI prompt:
# diff flash

Applying pending changes

To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration changes, enter the following command at any prompt:
# apply
NOTE: All configuration changes take effect immediately when applied.

Reverting changes

The revert command removes configuration changes that have been made, but not applied. Enter revert apply to remove all changes that have not been saved:
# revert

Saving the configuration

In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the switch.
IMPORTANT: If you do not save the changes, they will be lost the next time the system is rebooted.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any prompt:
# save
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block. The configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup configuration block. If you do not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup configuration block, enter the following instead:
# save n
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the switch. Your options include:
• The active configuration block
• The backup configuration block
• Factory default configuration block
Configuration Menu 89
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash memory using the diff flash command. It is a global command that can be executed from any prompt.
For instructions on selecting the configuration to run at the next system reset, see the “Selecting a configuration block” section in the “Boot Options Menu” chapter.

Reminders

CLI reminders prompt users to complete configuration tasks that require multiple steps. The default setting for CLI reminders is enabled. Use the following command to disable CLI reminders: /cfg/sys/reminders dis
The following is an example of a configuration task performed with CLI reminders enabled.

Configuration Menu 94
TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an authentication protocol that allows a remote access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. TACACS+ and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols are more secure than the TACACS encryption protocol. TACACS+ is described in RFC 1492.
TACACS+ protocol is more reliable than RADIUS, as TACACS+ uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) whereas RADIUS uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Also, RADIUS combines authentication and authorization in a user profile, whereas TACACS+ separates the two operations.
TACACS+ offers the following advantages over RADIUS as the authentication device:
• TACACS+ is TCP-based, so it facilitates connection-oriented traffic.
• It supports full-packet encryption, as opposed to password-only in authentication requests.
• It supports decoupled authentication, authorization, and accounting.
The following table describes the TACACS+ Server Configuration Menu options.
