Conventions
This guide uses the following conventions for command syntax and displayed
information.
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:
Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >

Port Numbering Conventions. HP ProCurve stackable switches designate
individual ports with sequential numbers (1, 2, 3
switches designate individual ports with a letter/number combination to show
the slot in which the port is found and the sequential number the port has in
that slot (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.) Examples that include port numbering information often include only one of these port numbering conventions. Unless
otherwise noted, you can assume that the example applies to your switch,

IP Addressing
If you just want to give the switch an IP address so that it can communicate
on your network, or if you are not using VLANs, HP recommends that you use
the Switch Setup screen to quickly configure IP addressing. To do so, do one
of the following:
■ Enter setup at the CLI Manager level prompt.
HPswitch# setup
■ In the Main Menu of the Menu interface, select

Overview
Overview
This chapter describes the following:
■ Management interfaces for the switches covered by this guide
■ Advantages of using each interface
Understanding Management Interfaces
Management interfaces enable you to reconfigure the switch and to monitor
switch status and performance. The switch offers the following interfaces:
■; Menu interface—a menu-driven interface offering a subset of switch
commands through the built-in VT-100/ANSI console—2-3
■; CLI—a command line interface offering the full set of switch commands
through the VT-100/ANSI console built into the switch—2-4
■; Web browser interface --a switch interface offering status information
and a subset of switch commands through a standard web browser (such
as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer)—2-5
■; HP ProCurve Manager (PCM)—a windows-based network manage-
ment solution included in-box with all manageable HP ProCurve devices.
Features include automatic device discovery, network status summary,
topology and mapping, and device management.
■; HP ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+)—a complete windows-based
network management solution that provides both the basic features
offered with PCM, as well as more advanced management features,
including in-depth traffic analysis, group and policy management, configuration management, device software updates, and advanced VLAN
management. (HP includes a copy of PCM+ in-box for a
30-day trial.
