Management Interfaces

HP ProCurve devices can be managed using any of the following interfaces:
Command Line Interface (CLI) – a text-based interface accessible through a direct serial connection or a
Telnet session.
Web management interface – A GUI-based management interface accessible through an HTTP (web
browser) connection.
The CLI and Web management interfaces come standard on HP ProCurve switches and routing switches.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI comes standard on all HP ProCurve devices. The CLI is a text-based operator interface that allows you
to configure a system with a PC or terminal without special software.
Up to five read-only Telnet sessions can operate concurrently on either an HP switch or routing switch. Only one
read-write Telnet session is allowed at a time.
Web Management Interface
A Web management interface is supported on web browsers Netscape Navigator™ versions 2.0 or later, and
Microsoft Internet Explorer™ versions 3.0 or later. No application software is required. The Web management
interface comes standard on all switches and routing switches.
To use the Web management interface, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the HP device in the
Location or Address field. The web browser contacts the HP device and displays a login dialog, as shown in
Figure 7.1.
