Introduction

Introduction
This Management and Configuration Guide is intended to support the following switches:
ProCurve Series 2610
ProCurve Series 2610-PWR
This guide describes how to use the command line interface (CLI), menu interface, and web browser interface to configure, manage, and monitor switch operation. A troubleshooting chapter is also included.
For an overview of other product documentation for the above switches, refer to “Product Documentation” on page xvii.
You can download a copy from the ProCurve website, www.procurve.com.

Conventions

This guide uses the following conventions for command syntax and displayed information.

Feature Descriptions by Model

In cases where a software feature is not available in all of the switch models covered by this guide, the section heading specifically indicates which product or product series offer the feature.
For example (the switch model is highlighted here in bold italics):
“QoS on the Series 2610 Switches”.

Command Syntax Statements

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >
[ control < authorized | auto | unauthorized >]
Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.
Getting Started
Conventions
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
executing the command. For example, in this command syntax, < port- list > indicates that you must provide one or more port numbers:
Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list >

Command Prompts

In the default configuration, your switch displays the following CLI prompt:
ProCurve Switch 2610#
To simplify recognition, this guide uses ProCurve to represent command prompts for all models. For example:
ProCurve#
(You can use the hostname command to change the text in the CLI prompt.)

Screen Simulations

Figures containing simulated screen text and command output look like this:
ProCurve> show version Image stamp: /sw/code/build/info
430
ProCurve>
Figure 1-1. Example of a Figure showing a Simulated Screen
In some cases, brief command-output sequences appear outside of a numbered figure. For example:
Nov 2 2007 13 43:14 R.01.XX

Sources for More Information

ProCurve(config)# ip default-gateway 18.28.152.1/24 ProCurve(config)# vlan 1 ip address 18.28.36.152/24 ProCurve(config)# vlan 1 ip igmp

Port Identity Examples

This guide describes software applicable to both chassis-based and stackable ProCurve switches. Where port identities are needed in an example, this guide uses the chassis-based port identity system, such as “A1”, “B3 - B5”, “C7”, etc. However, unless otherwise noted, such examples apply equally to the stackable switches, which for port identities typically use only numbers, such as “1”, “3-5”, “15”, etc.
Sources for More Information
For additional information about switch operation and features not covered in this guide, consult the following sources:
For information on which product manual to consult on a given
software feature, refer to “Product Documentation” on page xvii.
Note For the latest version of all ProCurve switch documentation, including
release notes covering recently added features, visit the ProCurve Networking website at www.procurve.com. Click on Technical support, and then click on Product manuals.
For information on specific parameters in the menu interface, refer
to the online help provided in the interface. For example:

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 multiple VLANs, ProCurve 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.
ProCurve# setup
In the Main Menu of the Menu interface, select
8. Run Setup
For more on using the Switch Setup screen, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch.

To Set Up and Install the Switch in Your Network

Important! Use the Installation and Getting Started Guide shipped with your switch for
the following:
Notes, cautions, and warnings related to installing and using the
switch and its related modules
Instructions for physically installing the switch in your network
Quickly assigning an IP address and subnet mask, setting a Manager
password, and (optionally) configuring other basic features.
Interpreting LED behavior.
For the latest version of the Installation and Getting Started Guide and other documentation for your switch, visit the ProCurve website. (Refer to “Product Documentation” on page xvii of this guide for further details.)
