Administration and Management
Switch Administration and Management

Step 2. Enter the privileged-user mode.
HP-IB> enable
HP-IB#
Step 3. Enter the global-configuration mode.
HP-IB# configure
HP-IB(config)#
Step 4. Enter the hostname command with the name you wish to assign.
The hostname command assigns a convenient name to the system that shows up at the CLI
prompt.
HP-IB(config)# hostname MyHost
NOTE This command also changes the CLI prompt. The new hostname is applied
immediately, however, the prompt does not change until you change modes. For
example, the prompt changes when you exit the global-configuration mode.
Testing Network Connectivity
Refer to “Connect Cables to Switch” on page 36 for information regarding connecting network devices.
After you install network cables, you can verify connectivity by pinging those devices from the CLI or pinging
between attached hosts.
Pinging an IP address To verify the device recognizes and successfully links HP Fabric Clustering
System-attached hosts, enter the ping command on one host and specify the IP address of another connected
host.
# ping 10.2.65.50
PING 10.2.0.50 (10.2.0.50) from 10.2.0.41 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.2.0.50: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=164 usec
64 bytes from 10.2.0.50: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=144 usec
…
…
6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 0.135/0.147/0.164/0.017 ms
#
To verify the switch device can reach a host on the network, enter either the user-execute or
privileged-execute mode, then enter the ping command.
HP-IB# ping 10.10.253.47
Sending 5 ICMP Echos to 10.10.253.47, 56 data bytes
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)
Setting User Levels and Passwords
HP Fabric Clustering System Switch devices support multiple users with granular levels of access control. An
administrator is assigned a user name and password, which is also associated with a unique SNMP
community string. User names and passwords are used for CLI access.
