Configuring An Interface As The Specifying A Simple Network - HP 9304m Installation And Getting Started Manual

Installation and Getting Started Guide
Cancelling an Outbound Telnet Session
If you want to cancel a Telnet session from the console to a remote Telnet server (for example, if the connection is
frozen), you can terminate the Telnet session by doing the following:
1. At the console, press Ctrl-^ (Ctrl-Shift-6).
2. Press the X key to terminate the Telnet session.
Pressing Ctrl-^ twice in a row causes a single Ctrl-^ character to be sent to the Telnet server. After you press
Ctrl-^, pressing any key other than X or Ctrl-^ returns you to the Telnet session.
Configuring an Interface as the Source for All TFTP Packets
You can configure the device to use the lowest-numbered IP address configured on a loopback interface, virtual
interface, or Ethernet port as the source for all TFTP packets from the device. The software uses the lowest-
numbered IP address configured on the interface as the source IP address for the packets.
For example, to specify the lowest-numbered IP address configured on a virtual interface as the device's source
for all TFTP packets, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# int ve 1
HP9300(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.3/24
HP9300(config-vif-1)# exit
HP9300(config)# ip tftp source-interface ve 1
The commands in this example configure virtual interface 1, assign IP address 10.0.0.3/24 to the interface, then
designate the interface's address as the source address for all TFTP packets
Syntax: [no] ip tftp source-interface ethernet <portnum> | loopback <num> | ve <num>
The <num> parameter is a loopback interface or virtual interface number. If you specify an Ethernet port, the
<portnum> is the port's number (including the slot number, if you are configuring a chassis device).
The default is the lowest-numbered IP address configured on the port through which the packet is sent. The
address therefore changes, by default, depending on the port.
Specifying a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Server
You can configure Routing Switches to consult SNTP servers for the current system time and date.
NOTE: HP Routing Switches do not retain time and date information across power cycles. Unless you want to
reconfigure the system time counter each time the system is reset, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the
SNTP feature.
USING THE CLI
To identify an SNTP server with IP address 208.99.8.95 to act as the clock reference for a Routing Switch, enter
the following:
HP9300(config)# sntp server 208.99.8.95
Syntax: sntp server <ip-addr> | <hostname> [<version>]
The <version> parameter specifies the SNTP version the server is running and can be from 1 – 4. The default
is 1. You can configure up to three SNTP servers by entering three separate sntp server commands.
By default, the Routing Switch polls its SNTP server every 30 minutes (1800 seconds). To configure the Routing
Switch to poll for clock updates from a SNTP server every 15 minutes, enter the following:
HP9300(config)# sntp poll-interval 900
Syntax: [no] sntp poll-interval <1-65535>
