HP_(Hewlett-Packard)_Network_Router

1.Introduction

This document provides a summary of the commands supported on the HP ProCurve 2524, 2512, and 4108gl switches. It is divided into sections that correspond to different modules or features of the HP switches. Not all sections will apply to all HP switches since each switch may only support a subset of the total feature set that is described in this document.

1.1 Conventions

Command descriptions use the following conventions:

???Vertical bars ???|??? separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.

???Square brackets ???[ ]??? indicate optional elements.

???Braces ???<>??? indicate a required choice.

???Braces within square brackets ???[<>]??? indicate a required choice within an optional element.

???Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown.

???Italics indicates arguments for which you must supply a value.

???If the no form of a command has exactly the same keywords and arguments as the command, then no appears in square brackets at the beginning of the command. Otherwise, the no form of the command is described separately.

???If the no form of a command is not explicitly described, then it simply negates the command. For example, if the command enables a feature, then the no form of the command would disable it. Also, if the a command was used to add a configuration item, then the no form of the command would remove it.

1.2Argument Types

The following argument types are recognized by the CLI and are used in the command syntax throughout this document:

???mac-addr ??? For example, 0060b0-885a80 or 0060b0:885a80.

???ip-addr - IP address in dotted decimal notation. For example, 10.0.16.80

???ip-mask - This is syntactically expressed the same way as ip-addr.

???port-number - Devices with fixed port configurations accept port numbers specified as integers. Modular devices accept port numbers specified with slot and port number identifiers. For instance, port "A1" indicates Port 1 in Slot A.

There are three "special" port designations in the switch. You may specify the monitoring port by using "mp"; you may specify a trunk port by using "trkX", where X identifies the numerical trunk group.

???port-list - A port list specifies a group of ports for which the operation being performed should be applied. A port list consists of individual port identifiers or ranges of ports separated by commas (e.g., A1-B8, C4, D1). This list includes the "special" port designations described under port-number.

???vlan-id - The 802.1Q VLAN identifier.

1.3Privilege and Context levels

The new CLI will support two privilege levels (operator and manager) and several context levels. As each context level is entered, the context information is displayed as part of the command prompt. When a context specific command is executed, the context information is applied to the particular command. For instance, when you attempt to enter the interface context level, you must specify a port number (see interface ethernet). Subsequent commands that affect port behavior (e.g., flow-control) will be applied to the port number specified when entering the level, so the specified port need not be re-specified on the command line.

interface config level

HP 4108GL(if-A1)

vlan config level

HP 4108GL(vlan-1)

Figure 1: Command and context levels

When you log onto the switch, you will be placed at the operator EXEC level and the system will display the following prompt:

HP 4108GL>

If an operator password has been set (see password in the global configuration section), then the system would have displayed the following prompt before entering the operator EXEC level:

Password:

You can enter the manager EXEC level from the operator EXEC level by using the enable command. If a manager level password has been configured, then you will be prompted for the manager password after executing the enable command.

1.4 The Command Line Interface

The new CLI will not be case sensitive. As a short cut, you can abbreviate commands and keywords as long they contain enough letters to be distinguished from any other currently available commands or keywords.

When the command text exceeds the length of the command line, the current command line will scroll upwards, yet the cursor will shift to the first character on the last line on the screen. This is opposed to shifting the command line horizontally each time the command exceeds the number of characters that can be displayed at one time on the screen.

1.5 System Help

You can enter help or ? at a particular command level to see the commands available at that level. You can enter a command followed by help or ? in order to get the system to display the command description for that particular command. The command description would be similar to what is presented for each command in the Command Reference section of this document.

In order to see the list of possible word completions or to complete the current word, you may use the Tab key immediately after the last letter of the last keyword on the command line. For example, if the system was currently in the global configuration level and you typed tab immediately after the t in step (1), the system would display the options seen in section

(2) and the system would return to the configuration level prompt with the partially completed command line seen in (3):

(1)HP 4108GL(config) t

(2)trunk trap

trap-send-authentication telnet-server

(3)HP 4108GL(config)t

If you had already typed in trap- on line (1) and then pressed the tab character, the system would complete the keyword trap-send-authentication, for it is the only possible completion for trap-, and display the completed command line as shown below:

1.HP 4108GL(config) trap-

2.HP 4108GL(config) trap-send-authentication

1.6Command Line Editing

Before you press return, the current command line can be edited using special keys including arrows and control characters. The following table describes the supported command editing keys and their function:

2. Command Summary

2.1 User EXEC Commands

enable

Enters the manager EXEC level. If a manager password is set, the system will first prompt for the password. Echoing is disabled while you enter the password. Initially there are no passwords for the two levels of users in the system: manager and operator. When you first connect to the console or telnet into the system, you will be placed into the Operator EXEC level. At that time, you can enter the above enable command without a password in order to be granted manager access to the switch and to be placed into the manager EXEC level. Passwords are set and changed through the password command at the global configuration level.

configure [terminal]

Used to enter the global configuration level.

2.8 Port Settings

2.8.1Port commands - EXEC level

show interfaces config

Displays the basic configuration of the switch ports.

Output Format:

show statistics

Displays a summary of the network traffic handled by the switch.

Output Format:

show interfaces

Displays the status and current configuration of all the switch ports.

Output Format:

2.8.2Ethernet Interface Configuration Commands

To enter the Ethernet Interface Configuration level, use the Interface command described above. Note that a port-list may be used to configure these options on more than one port and that any of the following commands can be appended to the Interface command to simply change the configuration. For example:

HP 4108GL(config)# interface ethernet A1,A3 disable

broadcast-limit <0..99>

Sets the theoretical maximum of network bandwidth in percentage that can be used for broadcast traffic. Any broadcast traffic exceeding that limit will dropped. 0 means the feature is disabled.

disable

Disables the port.

enable

Enables the port.

[no] flow-control

Enables or disables flow control on the port.

Note: Full-duplex ports only.

Sets the mode of operation for the port.

[no] lacp [active|passive]

enables or disables LACP on the port.

2.9 Trunk Configuration

2.9.1Trunk commands - EXEC level

show trunks [<port-list>]

Displays trunks that are configured on the system. This does not include dynamic trunks that have been formed by LACP.

Output Format:

show lacp

Displays LACP status information.

Output Format:

2.9.2Trunk commands - Configuration level

[no] trunk <trk1..trk24 > [trunk | fec | lacp] <port list>

This command configures each port in the switch to either be a Trunked, SA Only Trunked, FEC Trunked port, or a regular singular port.

For Trunks: All ports in a Trunked group, 1 to 4 ports maximum, must have the same port type.

General Considerations: (1) To avoid broadcast storms, or loops in your network while configuring trunks, first disable or disconnect all the ports you wish to add or remove from both sides of the trunk. Once done configuring the trunk, enable or re- connect the ports. (2) If you have multiple groups of the same or different types and/or singular connections between two switches, you have created a loop in the network. You must enable Spanning Tree on both switches to avoid a broadcast storm or other network problems. See the Switch Management and Configuration Guide for more information.

Parameters:

???<trk1..trk24 |none> - Determines the group that a port is configured to be a member of: trkX indicates a general group of trunked ports; none indicates that the associated port is a singular independent port (i.e., not part of a trunk).

???[type <trunk | fec | lacp>] - Determines the method by which the switch distributes the traffic load across the multiple links in the trunk group: trunk - uses source and destination MAC addresses for load distribution (select this to connect to devices such as the HP Switch 2000 or the Sun Trunk Server); fec - uses an automatic protocol for load distribution (select this to connect to devices that support Cisco's Fast EtherChannel trunking).

2.10Spanning Tree

2.10.1 Spanning Tree commands - EXEC level

show spanning-tree config

Displays spanning tree configuration information.

Output Format:

spanning-tree [forward-delay <seconds>] [hello-time <seconds>] [maximum-age <seconds>] [priority <0..65535>]

spanning-tree <[ethernet] port-list> [path-cost <1..65535>] [priority <0..255>] [mode <norm|fast>]

This command configures the parameters for operation of the switch in a spanning tree topology. Note - the default spanning tree configuration complies with the IEEE 802.1D standard recommended values and should not be changed without thorough knowledge of spanning tree operation. Note: As per IEEE 802.1Q Standard, this switch implements a single instance of Spanning Tree operating over all VLANs.

Parameters:

???path-cost <port-list><1..65535> - Individual port cost used to determine which ports are forwarding ports. The defaults is 100 for 10 Mbps ports, 10 for 10/100TX and 100FX ports, and 5 for 100/1000TX and 1Gbps ports.

???priority <port-list><0..255> - Another value used by spanning tree to the forwarding ports. The port with the lowest number has the highest priority. The default is 128.

???mode <port-list> [norm | fast] (default: norm) - norm (for normal) mode causes the port to operate according to the standard Spanning Tree Protocol - when connected, the port progresses through the Listening, Learning, and either Blocking or Forwarding states. fast mode causes the port to immediately operate in the Forwarding State when a device is connected to it. Use this setting only on ports that are connected to end nodes (for example: PCs, Workstation, or printers). Caution: Changing the Mode to fast on ports connected to a hub or switch may cause loops in your network that STP may not be able to detect, in all cases.

???forward-delay <seconds> - Time the switch waits between transition from listening to learning and from learning to forwarding states. The range is 4 to 30. The default is 15.

???hello-time <seconds> - Time (in seconds) between messages transmitted when the switch is root. The range is 1 to 10. The default is 2.

???maximum-age <seconds> - Maximum message age (in seconds) of received STP information before it is discarded. The range is 6 to 40. The default is 20.

???priority <0..65535> - Switch (or bridge) priority used along with the switch MAC address to determine which device is the root. The default is 32768.

[no] ip authorized-managers <ip-addr> [mask <ip-mask>] [operator | manager]

Sets the IP addresses you will allow to access the switch???s Web browser interface, to telnet to the switch console, and to perform TFTP operations. A maximum of 10 addresses is supported.

Parameters:

???<ip-addr> - The IP address of an authorized manager.

???mask <ip-mask> - The default mask is 255.255.255.255. A mask that allows you to define which portions of the listed IP address need to be matched by an incoming request. For example, with an authorized address of 10.8.11.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.255, only access from 10.8.11.1 is allowed. With a mask of 255.255.255.0, access from any IP address with 10.8.11.x is allowed.

???<operator | manager> - The default access level is manager. A designation of the management capabilities that are accessible to the authorized manager. manager allows full access to all web browser and the CLI for viewing and setting the switch configuration, and for performing all other interface operations, including all TFTP operations. operator allows view-only access from the web browser and the CLI, but does not allow changing the switch configuration or any TFTP operations.

[no] timesync <timep | sntp >

Configures the network time protocol to be used by the switch.

[no] timep <dhcp | manual <ip-addr>> [interval <1..9999>] Configures Timep on the switch.

Parameters:

???<dhcp | manual> - The method the switch uses to acquire the Timep server address: dhcp - from a DHCP server; manual - you manually enter the Timep server address; disable - the switch will not attempt to get its time from a Timep server.

???interval <1..9999> (default is 720) How often (in minutes) the switch tries to get the current time.

???<ip-addr> - The IP address of the Timep server that the switch gets the current time from.

[no] sntp < server <ip-addr> [version]> [poll-interval <30-720>] Configures SNTP on the switch.

ip default-gateway <ip-addr>

Assigns an IP address to be used as the default gateway when the switch is not in routing mode.

ip route <<ip-addr>/<1..32> | <ip-addr> <ip-mask>> <ip-addr> Used to configure a static IP route for the switch.

ip ttl <value>

Sets the maximum time that a packet will live on the network.

[no] arp <ip-addr> [mac-addr]

Used to modify the arp cache.

2.11.3 IP commands - VLAN Interface level

[no] ip address <dhcp-bootp | <<ip-addr>/<1..32> |

<ip-addr> <ip-mask>] [secondary]>

This command configures the IP address for the switch. Note, by default this command uses a VLAN identifier of one. Although this command is duplicated at the VLAN context level, it is defined here for those customers who do not want to be exposed to VLAN distinctions.

Parameters:

???dhcp-bootp - The method the switch uses to acquire its IP Service configuration: dhcp-bootp - the switch attempts to get its IP configuration, or its complete configuration, from a DHCP/Bootp server, depending on how the server is configured. If the 'address' is specified at the command line then the interface uses a 'manual' method in which the IP address and subnet mask are explicitly specified. If the modal operation 'no' is specified for the interface then the interface becomes disabled and all IP communication with the switch ceases. This includes SNMP, management, Web browser access, and telnet access.

???<ip-addr>/<1..32> - IP address for the switch (or VLAN) IP interface. <1..32> is the number of bits present in the subnet mask used by all devices in the IP subnet being configured.

???<ip-addr> <ip-mask> - This is an alternative syntax for specifying the IP address and subnet mask described above.

2.12.2 SNMP commands ??? Configuration Level

[no] snmp-server community <community-name> [manager | operator] [restricted | unrestricted]

Used to configure a new SNMP community or to edit the configuration for an existing one

Parameters:

???<community-name> - Enter (up to 16 characters) the SNMP community name.

This command defines the switch port that will be used as the Monitoring Port for diagnostic purposes. The switch ports that will be monitored are defined through the monitor command at the Ethernet Interface Configuration Level. All the network traffic seen by the monitored ports is copied to the Monitoring Port to which a network analyzer can be attached.

Note: When monitoring multiple ports in a busy network, some frames may not be copied to the monitoring port.

Parameters:

???port-num - Port that will be acting as the monitoring port. A configured trunk port cannot be used.

2.16.3 Port Monitoring commands - VLAN Interface level [no] monitor

Used to enable/disable monitoring of the VLAN.

[action <none | send-alarm | send-disable>]

[no] port-security <port-list> [mac-address <mac-addr>]

This command configures port security on the switch.

Parameters:

???learn-mode - If continuous is selected, the switch learns any new address from packets received on the port. If static is selected, up to the number of addresses

defined by the "address-limit" parameter are learned or entered for the port. These addresses are static; they are not aged out.

???addr-limit <1..8> - This parameter is valid only if static is selected for the learn-mode. This parameter defines the number of network devices that are authorized to communicate through the switch port. Up to 8 devices can be authorized for any port.

???addr-list <mac-addr> - This parameter is valid only if static is selected for the learn-mode. If you enter no authorized addresses, the switch will learn and configure authorized addresses as it detects them on the port, up to the address- limit number of addresses, and make these the static authorized addresses for the port. If you enter fewer addresses than the Address Limit, the switch will learn the additional addresses up to the address-limit. If you enter more addresses than the address-limit, an error message is displayed when you attempt to Save the configuration.

???action - Indicates the action the switch will take if an intruder is detected on the port.
