1920-8G-PoE+ (JG921A) limited CLI, can't set IP

[jasonlamb]

I have a ProCurve 1920-8G-PoE+ (JG921A).  I've connected and authentiated via the CLI, but I cannot determine or set the IP address of this switch.  I can't initialize it either.  I am only given the commands: PING/QUIT/TELNET.

I have also tried entering _cmdline-mode on, but that command is not accepted either.

Howdy,

The switch by default will DHCP for a dynamic address but given that the switch has a non-default hostname it looks like it has already been configured.

In that case I would do some discovery on the network - Zenmap port sweep - DHCP server logs etc - and match up against your switch MAC address on the rear panel of the device.

The switch is sold as a Web Managed device so you *should* use the web console as your primary interaction with the device.

Thanks

Ian

Thanks Ian.  I spent the better part of day trying to determine the IP of the switch, it just disappeard off of our network, thus leading me to try console access.

I finaly called HPE and we decided to hard-reset it by pressing CTRL+B during the boot up and deleteing the config.  It is now working propertly after re-configuaration.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm so lost in this conversation.  The 1920 switches have a full cli.   They just require an admin password to access it after you access the default cli?  Did the 8 port get shafted?  Both the 24 port and 48 port has the same cli.  HRMM... I never use the web interface on the 24 or the 48p.

Nevermind it looks like the 8 port did get shafted.   There are work arounds if you see the other forums, but man i'm bummed.  I guess i stick with 1950s at the moment 24 and 48's.
