I have recently had to interact with an HP FlexNetwork 5510 switches and the command syntax was totally different from the HP-Aruba 2530. This article is to document the common switch commands that I use on a daily basis.
- Show (Display) the list of interfaces and their status
display interfaces brief
- list the directly connected devices using LLDP
display lldp neighbor-information list
- Enter enable mode or exec privilege mode
system-view
- Save switch startup configuration
write
- Show the running configuration
display current-configuration
- Configure IP helper on an interface
interface [interface_type]
dhcp select relay
dhcp relay server-address [dhcp_ip_address]
- Configure NTP Service
ntp-service enable
ntp-service unicast-server 10.71.152.229
ntp-service unicast-server 10.220.0.35
- Configure SSH
ssh server enable
ssh client source interface [interface]
service-type ssh terminal
- Configure the default gateway
ip route-static 0.0.0.0 [gateway_ipaddress]
- Configure interface as layer 2
port link-mode bridge
- Configure interface as layer 3
port link-mode route
- Configure the interface as a trunk
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan [vlan-id]
- Configure the local user account to manage the switch
local-user [username] class manage
password simple [password]
service-type [options: ssh telnet terminal]
authorization-attribute user-role [role-name]
I will be adding more command as time goes by and I get familiar with the CLI.
