Page 8: Cli Configuration
CLI configuration What is CLI? The command line interface (CLI) enables you to interact with your device by typing text commands. At the CLI, you can instruct your device to perform a given task by typing a text command and then pressing Enter.
Page 9: Undo Form Of A Command
Convention Description Braces enclose a set of required syntax choices separated by vertical bars, from which { x | y | ... } you select one. Square brackets enclose a set of optional syntax choices separated by vertical bars, from [ x | y | ...
Page 10: Entering System View
CLI views adopt a hierarchical structure. See Figure • After logging in to the switch, you are in user view. The user view prompt is <device name>. In user view, you can perform display, debugging, and file management operations, set the system time, restart your device, and perform FTP and Telnet operations.
Page 11: Exiting The Current View
Exiting the current view The CLI is divided into different command views. Each view has a set of specific commands and defines the effective scope of the commands. The commands available to you at any given time depend on the view you are in.

Page 16: Checking Command-Line Errors
Checking command-line errors If a command contains syntax errors, the CLI reports error information. Table 4 lists some common command line errors. Table 4 Common command line errors Error information Cause % Unrecognized command found at '^' position. The command was not found. % Incomplete command found at '^' position.

Page 21: Configuring User Privilege And Command Levels
Configuring user privilege and command levels Introduction To avoid unauthorized access, the switch defines user privilege levels and command levels. User privilege levels correspond to command levels. When a user at a specific privilege level logs in, the user can only use commands at that level or lower levels.
Page 22 To do… Use the command… Remarks user-interface { first-num1 Enter user interface view [ last-num1 ] | { aux | vty } — first-num2 [ last-num2 ] } Required By default, the authentication Specify the scheme authentication authentication-mode scheme mode for VTY users is password, mode and no authentication is needed for AUX login users.

Configure the authentication type For more information, see Security After the configuration, the for SSH users as publickey...
Page 24: Switching User Privilege Level
After the user logs back in, the user privilege restores to the original level. To avoid problems, HP recommends that administrators log in to the switch by using a lower • privilege level and view switch operating parameters. To maintain the switch, administrators can temporarily switch to a higher level.
Page 25 Authentication Meaning Description mode The switch authenticates a user by using the privilege level switch password input by the user. Local password local authentication When this mode is applied, you need to set the password for privilege level switch with the super password command. The switch sends the username and password for privilege level switch to the HWTACACS or RADIUS server for remote authentication.
Page 26 CAUTION: If no user privilege level is specified when you configure the password for switching the user privilege • level with the super password command, the user privilege level defaults to 3. Specifying the simple keyword saves the password in plain text, which is less secure than specifying the •...
Page 27: Modifying The Level Of A Command
CAUTION: HP recommends you to use the default command level or modify the command level under the guidance of professional staff. An improper change of the command level may bring inconvenience to your maintenance and operation, or even potential security problems.

Login methods Login methods You can log in to the switch in the following ways. Table 7 Login methods Login method Default state Logging in By default, you can log in to a device through the console port, the through the authentication mode is None (no username or password required), and the console port user privilege level is 3.
Page 30: Users And User Interfaces
A single user interface corresponds to a single user interface view where you can configure a set of parameters, such as whether to authenticate users at login, and the user privilege level after login. When the user logs in through a user interface, the connection follows these parameter settings, implementing centralized management of various sessions.

It is more suitable in environments where complex interaction is not needed between client and server.

Page 109: Configuration File Management
Configuration file management The device provides the configuration file management function. You can manage configuration files on the user-friendly command line interface (CLI). Configuration file overview A configuration file saves the device configurations as a set of text commands. You can save the current configuration to a configuration file so that the configuration takes effect after you reboot the device.
Page 110: Coexistence Of Multiple Configuration Files
The commands are listed in sections by views, usually in this order: system view, interface view, • routing protocol view, and user interface view. • Sections are separated with one or more blank lines or comment lines that start with a pound sign A configuration file ends with a return.
Page 111: Selecting The Modes For Saving The Configuration File
In IRF mode • When the configuration file auto-save function is enabled, and you save the current configuration by executing the save [ safely ] [ force ] command or executing the save filename all command and then pressing Enter, each MPU of an IRF fabric automatically saves the current configuration to the specified configuration file, and use this file as the startup configuration file, keeping the consistency of the configuration files on the active MPU and standby MPUs of the IRF fabric.
Page 112: Setting Configuration Rollback
If the configuration file is generated by another device, the file must comply with the format of the configuration file on the current device. HP recommends that you use the configuration file generated by using the backup function. You can apply configuration rollback in these situations: Running configuration error.

Page 122: Software Upgrade By Installing Hotfixes
Software upgrade by installing hotfixes Hotfix can repair software defects of the current version without rebooting the switch, protecting the running services of the switch from being interrupted. Basic concepts in hotfix Patch and patch file A patch, also called patch unit, is a package used to fix software defects. Generally, patches are released as patch files.
Page 123 Figure 41 Relationship between patch state changes and command actions NOTE: Information about patch states is saved in file patchstate on the Flash. HP recommends that you do not operate this file. IDLE state Patches in the IDLE state are not loaded. You cannot install or run the patches, as shown in Figure 42 this example, the memory patch area can load up to eight patches).
Page 124 DEACTIVE state Patches in the DEACTIVE state have been loaded to the memory patch area but have not yet run in the system. Suppose that there are seven patches in the patch file to be loaded. After the seven patches successfully pass the version check and CRC check, they are loaded to the memory patch area and are in the DEACTIVE state.

Page 136: Issu Overview
ISSU also provides a version rollback function to enable fast version rollback, and provides relevant display commands to help you understand version compatibility information and verify the state of the upgrade process. ISSU provides more functionality than other upgrade methods. HP recommends that you use ISSU to upgrade your switch.
Page 137: Issu States
ISSU states The ISSU upgrade process is accomplished through the execution of a series of commands, which must be executed in a specific sequence. The display issu state command displays the current ISSU state, upgrade version, old version, version compatibility state, and upgrade method to determine the next operation to be executed.
Page 138: Compatible

Page 139 Verify the running status and current software version of each card with the display device command. Ensure that your switch has two MPUs and all cards operate normally. Verify the system software image information with the display boot-loader command. Ensure that the active MPU and the standby MPU use the same system software image, which means the two files have the same file path, name, and content.
