Overview
Overview
This Management and Configuration Guide is intended for use with the
following switches:
■ ProCurve Switch 8108fl
■ ProCurve Switch 8116fl
Note Each device uses the same command line functions. Together, these two
devices are referred to in this guide as the 8100fl switch.
This guide describes how to use the command line interface (CLI) to
configure, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot switch operation. The Product Documentation CD-ROM shipped with the switch includes a copy of this
guide. You can also download a copy from the ProCurve Networking Web site.
(See “Getting Documentation From the Web” on page 1-4, below.) For

Command Prompts
The default configuration for your switch displays one of the following CLI
prompts:
ProCurve 8108fl#
ProCurve 8116fl#
To simplify recognition, this guide uses the hostname ProCurve to represent
command prompts for both models. For example:
ProCurve#
Note You can use the hostname command to change the text in the CLI prompt.
To configure an interface on the switch, you need to enter configuration mode
for that interface (for example, a physical port, LAG, or VLAN). The command
prompt display will vary according to the interface. Here are two examples:
ProCurve(config-interface-gig3/4)#
ProCurve(config-interface-vlan701)#
ProCurve(config-lag-13)#
This guide uses a generic prompt to represent commands that must be entered
from an interface configuration context:
ProCurve(config-if)#
Screen Simulations
Single lines of screen text and command output are represented like this:
ProCurve#show running-config
Screens containing more than one line of text and command output are shown
in table format like this:

IP Addressing. If you just want to give the switch an IP address so that it
can communicate on your network, ProCurve recommends that you use the
CLI to quickly configure IP addressing and enable Telnet access to the switch:
see “Setting the Management Module IP Address” on page 4-2 for details.
Note For an introduction and overview on using the CLI, refer to Chapter 2, “Using
the Command Line Interface (CLI)”. For instructions on setting up basic
features, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Basic System Information and Port
Parameters”.
To Set Up and Install the Switch in Your Network
For instructions on how to physically install the switch and its components in
your network, refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide that
shipped with your switch. This provides information on the following:
■ Notes, cautions, and warnings related to installing the switch and its
related modules
■ Instructions for mounting the switch and physically installing its
modules, fans, and power
■ Procedures for setting up basic system information and passwords.
■ Descriptions for interpreting LED behavior on the switch.
The CLI can be accessed through both serial and Telnet connections
(including Secure Shell). For initial log on, you must use a serial connection.
Once an IP address is assigned to the management interface (see “Setting the
Management Module IP Address” on page 4-2), you can access the CLI through
a Telnet connection. For more information on using Telnet and SSH sessions,
refer to Chapter 5, “Security Configuration”.
When accessing the CLI through Telnet, you will prompted for a password if
one has been set via local, RADIUS, or TACACS configuration. By default, the
password required is the password you enter for general access at initial setup
(see “Configuring Passwords” on page 5-2). You also have the option of
assigning a separate password for Privileged Exec mode access with the
enable secret command.
Note Up to 10 Tel net se ssions can run simultaneously on the switch. However, only
one user at at time is allowed in Configuration mode. If a second user enters
the configure command, the first user will be bumped out of configuration
mode and will see the following message:
2-2
ProCurve(config-line)#User [mgr] logged in as process [858]
has taken control of the config session
ProCurve#
All the commands that the first user entered before being bumped out of
configuration mode will be saved in the running configuration.
To access the CLI:
1. Once you connect to the device, you will see the following prompt:
ProCurve>
At this prompt ( > ), you are at the user Exec mode of the CLI command
structure. You can view system status at this level, but you do not have
permission to change system configurations. To make configuration and
system changes, you must be in (and have authorization to enter) the
Privileged Exec mode.
The command line prompt reverts to Privileged Exec mode

2.
To access the Privileged Exec mode from the Exec mode, enter:
ProCurve>enable
You will be prompted for a password if one has been assigned. Otherwise,
the prompt will change to the Privileged Exec mode (#):
ProCurve#
From Privileged Exec mode, you can manage system-level functions and
enter Configuration mode to make configuration changes.
3.
To access Configuration mode, from Privileged Exec mode enter:
ProCurve#configure
The prompt will change to Configuration mode:
ProCurve(config)#
From Configuration mode, you can reach all other configuration levels
(for ports on interface modules, for specific protocols, and so on) from
this mode.
Not e s The CLI supports partial matching, so you do not need to enter the entire
name of a command or option.
CLI commands are not case sensitive.
To help identify the current command level or mode, the CLI prompt
changes at each level of the Configuration command structure.

CLI Access Modes
The CLI has four different access modes, each of which provides the ability
to perform the specific operations shown in Ta ble 2-1.
Table 2-1. CLI Access Modes
Access Mode Command Prompt Description
Exec ProCurve> Provides limited access to the system. Allows you to display status, perform
Privileged Exec ProCurve# Allows you to manage the system. Privileged Exec mode provides more facilities
Configuration ProCurve(config)# Allows you to configure all features and functions on the switch. These include
Boot PMOM> Certain tasks can be performed only from Boot mode. Enter the reboot command to
diagnostic operations, and power slots on and off. You can also perform basic
system-level tasks such as traceroute, launch ping requests, control terminal
configuration, and logout.
The Exec mode command prompt consists of the system name, followed by the angle
brackets (>). For procedures on how to change the system name using the hostname
command, refer to “Setting the Log in Banners” on page 4-5 .
than Exec mode. For example, you can display critical features such as router
configuration, access control lists and SNMP statistics.
The Exec mode command prompt consists of the system name, followed by the
pound sign (#).
To enter this mode, enter the enable command from the Exec mode, then supply a
password when prompted (if password protection has been configured).
To exit Privileged Exec mode and return to Exec mode, type disable and press
[Enter].

configuration, and so on.
To enter Configuration mode, first enter Privileged Exec mode (enable command or
en), and then enter the configure or config command.
reset the switch. If the switch still fails to boot, contact ProCurve Customer Support.
To enter the Boot mode, boot the switch, and then interrupt the normal boot
sequence by pressing the [Esc] key. (Use the spacebar to skip the countdown
sequence). For information on how to update the boot PMOM software and boot
using the updated image, see “Updating Software” on page 3-10.
Notes The command prompt shows the hostname in front of the mode character(s).
The default name is “ProCurve 8108fl” or ‘ProCurve 8116fl” according to
model. To change the name, see “Setting the Host Name” on page 4-4.
When you are in Configuration mode, use the exit command or press [
to exit to the previous mode. Typing exit in Privileged Exec mode will quit the
session entirely (see “Terminating Sessions and Exiting Modes” on page 2-11).

Using the CLI
Using the CLI
The CLI supports partial matching (also known as command completion), so
you do not need to enter the entire name of a command or option. As long as
you enter enough characters of the command or option name to be unique,
the CLI understands what you are typing. If you enter enough characters of a
command keyword to uniquely identify it and press the [
complete the command. For example, if you enter the following in Privileged
Exec mode and then press the [
ProCurve#show ru[Tab ]
The CLI completes the command as follows:
ProCurve#show running-config
If you do not enter enough characters to identify a unique command, the CLI
will flag the entry as an ambiguous command. For example:
Tab ] key as indicated:
Ta b] key, the CLI will
ProCurve#show r
% Ambiguous command: "show r"
When you mis-enter command syntax, or enter syntax that the CLI does not
recognize, the CLI will flag the syntax error with a ^ marker indicating the
word where the error has occurred.
For example:
ProCurve#show rum
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Use the CLI editing commands (see Table 2-2 on page 2-6) to correct the error
and enter a valid command.
CLI Editing Commands
The switch provides line editing capabilities to move forward or backward on
a line, delete or transpose characters, and delete portions of a line. To use the
line editing commands, you need a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator. For
more information on connecting a console and configuring a terminal, refer
to the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch.
