Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Using the CLI

Caution HP strongly recommends that you configure a Manager password. If a Man-

ager password is not configured, then the Manager level is not password-

protected, and anyone having in-band or out-of-band access to the switch may

be able to reach the Manager level and compromise switch and network

security. Note that configuring only an Operator password does not prevent

access to the Manager level by intruders who have the Operator password.

Pressing the Clear button on the front of the switch removes password

protection. For this reason, it is recommended that you protect the switch

from physical access by unauthorized persons. If you are concerned about

switch security and operation, you should install the switch in a secure

location, such as a locked wiring closet.

Privilege Level Operation

Figure 3-2. Access Sequence for Privilege Levels

Operator Privileges

At the Operator level you can examine the current configuration and move

between interfaces without being able to change the configuration. A ">"

character delimits the Operator-level prompt. For example:

HPswitch> _ (Example of the Operator prompt.)

When using enable to move to the Manager level, the switch prompts you for

the Manager password if one has already been configured.
