Configuring The Switch At The Cli; Getting Started With The Cli; Setting Up The Configuration Environment - HP 1910 User Manual

Configuring the switch at the CLI

The HP 1910 Switch Series can be configured through the CLI, Web interface, and SNMP/MIB. The Web
interface supports all 1910 Switch Series configurations. These configuration methods are suitable for
different application scenarios. The CLI provides configuration commands to facilitate your operation,
which are described in this chapter. To perform configurations not supported by the CLI, use the Web
interface.
You will enter user view directly after you log in to the device. Commands in the document are all
performed in user view.

Getting started with the CLI

The CLI provides configuration commands to facilitate your operation. For example, if you forget the IP
address of VLAN-interface 1 and cannot log in to the device through the Web interface, you can connect
the console port of the device to a PC, and reconfigure the IP address of VLAN-interface 1 at the CLI.

Setting up the configuration environment

CAUTION:
Identify the mark on the console port to make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
To set up the configuration environment, connect a terminal (a PC in this example) to the console port on
the switch with a console cable.
A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting
to the console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the
serial port on the console terminal.
