Configure HP Procurve 2824 (J4903A)
We have a HP Procurve 2824 switch at both Telehouse and XO. We have the manual available.
Start by resetting to factory defaults.
Do that by poking a staple in both the reset and clear buttons and then releasing the reset button and keeping the clear button pressed. That may leave the switch in a state with all lights on. If so try unplugging and plugging it back in.
Next, try to access it via the serial console at 2400 baud.
- Set the system contact, password, and IP configuration
- Type: setup
- Set system contact to:
info@mayfirst.org
- Enter Manager password - cannot be more than 16 characters!
- Set the serial console
# configure # console baud-rate 115200 Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot. # write mem # boot
After it restarts, you should re-connect via the new serial console settings
- At this point, you might want to upgrade the firmware. Check the HP page for the latest firmware. Check the running firmware with:
show version
As for 2012-11-3, the latest firmware on the site is i.10.77 built on 26-Aug-2009, posted on 26-Oct-2009.
- To update the firmware:
- Downloading the latest version to a machine connected to the switch
- Install and start tftpd-hpa on the machine
- On the server, type:
menu
- Selected Download OS from the menu
- Entered the IP address of the server and the remote file name (/srv/tftp/I_10_77.swi) and hit eXecute.
- Set the hostname
hostname cafiero
- Disable the telnet and web interface:
configure no telnet-server no web-management
- For the switch in XO that connects to Highwinds, we have to disable auto-negotiation, and force it to use a 100Mbit connection to avoid dropped packets. The 1 refers to port one on the switch, which presumably the upstream is connected to.
configure interface 1 speed-duplex 100-full
