Hp Procurve Password and Remote Connection Settings

HP Switch Password Reset

We will give information about remote connection with procurve password and user management on Hp E series Procurve network switches.

HP Switch User and Procurve Password Identification:

2650#: configure terminal
2650(config)#: password manager user-name yonetici
New password for Manager:*******
Please retype new password for Manager:*******

In this way, a user named yonetici with administrator privileges was created and given a password. If you want to define an operator, just type operator where manager is written in the command line. In line 3, procurve password is defined.

Then let’s configure the Management VLAN and Management IP. Let the Management VLAN be 100 and IP Subnet be as follows; 10.100.0.10/255.255.255.255.0

HP Procurve Switch Management VLAN-IP Define:

2650(config)#:  vlan 100
2650(vlan-100)#: name 100
2650(vlan-100)#: ip address 10.100.0.10 255.255.255.0
2650(vlan-100)#: tagged 49-50
2650(vlan-100)#: exit
2650(config)#: management-vlan 100
2650(config)#: ip default-gateway 10.100.0.1

Although Telnet connection is commonly preferred, we strongly discourage it. Since Telnet and HTTP messages are transmitted as unitext, we need to write a secure remote connection configuration. For this, let’s write a definition that will only allow connections over the SSH protocol.

HP Procurve Switch SSH Remote Connection Identification:

2650#: configure terminal
2650(config)#: crypto key generate ssh rsa
2650(config)#: ip ssh
2650(config)#: no web-management
2650(config)#: no telnet
2650(config)#: no telnet-server
