Configuring the HP 5900 switch

The HP 5900 switch configuration includes the following tasks:

• System management—Configure SNMP and login settings required for HP IMC to work with the

HP 5900 switch.

• Services and features—Configure settings for implementing the EVB solution, including link

aggregation and EVB.

Configuring system management

# Configure SNMP settings for communication with IMC. Make sure all these settings are the same as the

SNMP settings configured on IMC.

[Sysname] snmp-agent sys-info version v2c

[Sysname] snmp-agent community read public

# Configure the switch as a Telnet server for IMC to access the switch.

[Sysname] telnet server enable

# Configure the user role and login authentication for Telnet access on VTY lines. The user role must be

network-admin. Choose an authentication mode depending on your security requirement. This example

provides configuration for setting the authentication mode to password or no authentication.

• No authentication:

[Sysname] line class vty

[Sysname-line-class-vty] authentication-mode none

[Sysname-line-class-vty] user-role network-admin

• Password authentication:

[Sysname] line class vty

[Sysname-line-class-vty] authentication-mode password

[Sysname-line-class-vty] set authentication password simple 123456

[Sysname-line-class-vty] user-role network-admin

Configuring services and features

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN 200 for mail and file services, respectively. Create VLAN 300 as the

primary VLAN for VLAN 321 for other services.
