General Access

Release Notes

Adding the device to the system

In order to add HP ProCurve switches to the system, operator and manager username must be the same. Then, you can change them using Deploy Password functionality.

Modifying the hostmane

The default exec and enable prompt of the HP ProCurve switches include the ">" and "#" as ending characters, respectively. Although the hostname of HP ProCurve switches can contain these two characters by design, they should be omitted, otherwise, the system could potentially get out of sync during any task.

Device authentication failures

By default, user names and passwords sent to the HP Procurve devices are masked from the authentication logs when using 6.x or later. If you encounter authentication failures:

1. Login to the system.
2. On the menu bar, select Devices and click Inventory.
3. On the Inventory page, locate the HP Procure device
4. In the Actions column, click the Edit option.
5. On the Edit Device page, scroll down to the Device Access Settings field.
6. Change the Custom Setting to: send_slow
7. Change the Value to: true
8. Click the Save Device button.

Keep in mind that after the send_slow variable is set to true, the authentication logs will contain user names and passwords in clear text.

SSH v1 connectivity

Even though this driver supports both SSH v1 and v2 connectivity, some OS versions supported by this driver only support SSH v2.
