Command line interface Introduction The HP GbE2c switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively. This guide provides a command reference for the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch. The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring the switch: • Built-in, text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software such as HP Systems Insight Manager • A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through the Web browser The command line interface provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch configuration. Using a basic terminal, you can view information and statistics about the switch, and perform any necessary configuration. This chapter explains how to access the AOS CLI to the switch.

Introduction
The HP GbE2c switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more advanced
features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively. This guide provides
a command reference for the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.
The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring
the switch:
•
Built-in, text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote
Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software such
as HP Systems Insight Manager
•
A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through the Web browser
The command line interface provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch
configuration. Using a basic terminal, you can view information and statistics about the switch, and perform any
necessary configuration.
This chapter explains how to access the AOS CLI to the switch.

Connecting to the switch
You can access the command line interface in one of the following ways:
•
Using a console connection via the console port
•
Using a Telnet connection over the network
•
Using a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to securely log in over a network
Establishing a console connection
To establish a console connection with the switch, you need:
•
A null modem cable with a female DB-9 connector (See the
HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class
BladeSystem User Guide
for more information.)
•
An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software set to the parameters shown in the table
