&lt;HP&gt; is operator mode, from here you can run basic diagnostics and view the status as well as the running config with the display command<br />
<br />
&lt;HP&gt;display current-configuration<br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
&lt;HP&gt;display transceiver diagnosis interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/49<br />
<br />
to do any kind of switch administration you have to be in the system-view mode.<br />
&lt;HP&gt;system-view<br />
[HP]ospf 1<br />
[HP-ospf-1]area 0.0.0.0<br />
[HP-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0]ne<wbr />twork 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255<br />
[HP-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0]ne<wbr />twork 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.3<br />
<br />
Unlike Cisco the config can be saved back from any view<br />
[HP]save<br />
<br />
to return to the operator view you can type quit until you reach the desired level or.<br />
[HP]return<br />
&lt;HP&gt;<br />

Hope this also helps

Hello,<br />
<br />
We have new comware based HP &nbsp;5130 EI switches, and the CLI is quite different from the Procurve. Can someone help me with initial basic config, as I find the guide a bit confusing. All I need is the following:<br />
<br />
setup a management vlan and give it an IP address<br />
create a local manager user/password<br />
enable ssh with local authentication <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks!

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.
