Command Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI provides many more configuration options than the browser-based interface. There are three
methods of accessing these interfaces:
●
Locally with the RS-232 console port on the switch tray by way of logging into the Integrated
Administrator and connecting to the PC Blade Switch through the internal serial link.
●
Remote virtual serial access to the switch through the Integrated Administrator by way of a built-
in account. Connect remotely to the IA using either SSH or Telnet. At the login prompt, enter
username switch and the password switcha.
●
Remotely using a console Telnet or SSH session (if configured).

SNMP and Remote Monitoring

The switch supports industry-standard SNMP management information bases (MIBs), HP enterprise
MIB, SNMP v1 traps, and RMON1 group 1 (Ethernet statistics), 2 (History), 3 (Alarms), and 9 (Events).
Four community strings and SNMP trap manager hosts can be configured. This capability allows the
switch to be monitored remotely from a Network Management Station.

Switch Security

The switch uses a layer 2 access control list or filtering database to segment the network, control
communications between segments, and provide intrusion control. The switch allows manual entry of
specific media access control (MAC) addresses to be filtered from the network. Filtering of both Unicast
and Multicast traffic is possible. The maximum number of MAC addresses learned on a per port basis
may be restricted further.
Several additional features are provided on the switch to allow the network administrator to secure the
management interfaces. These features include the ability to:
●
Configure multiple password protected accounts with two levels of access.
●
Specify the IP-based management stations that are allowed to access the switch.
●
Specify remote access method and set user interface idle time-out period.
●
Configure port-based IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs for server grouping and data isolation.

Identifying Integrated Administrator Components

Each HP PC Blade Enclosure interconnect tray ships with the Integrated Administrator module already
installed and provides external connectivity using the RJ-45 and RS-232 ports on the rear panel.
