HP V1910 - How to Enable Full Command Line Access for SSH or Telnet Management
Submitted by ingram on Sat, 03/01/2014 - 7:25am
The HP V1910 switches are powerful and economical switches. By default, you can only manage them through the web interface. Even if you enable SSH or Telnet, the commands available are minimal. Here is how to configure SSH or Telnet, enable it for your user account, and enable the full range of commands that are disabled by default. The model in this example is an HP V1910-48G:
Log into the web interface, and go to Network > Service. Enable SSH or Telnet and click apply (please don't enable telnet, really, just use SSH...):
Go to Authentication > Users. Enable SSH or Telnet for the user account you will be connecting with:
You can now log into the switch using your favorite SSH or Telnet client. As you see, there are only 7 command available, and none of them are going to help you configure the switch:
To enable the full suite of commands, run the following command (the default password is either "512900" or "Jinhua1920unauthorized"):
_cmdline-mode on
Here are all of the commands available now:
User view commands:
archive Specify archive settings

If this was helpful to you, please leave a comment below and let me know! Personally, I think these commands should be enabled by default. I'm not sure why the default command line access is so limited.

Thanks! Although the cli is
Thanks! Although the cli is not very intuitive or adheres to standards, e.g. "shutdown" of a port is usually reversed through "no shutdown" but on this switch it's "undo shutdown".
And since this switch isn't really intended to be configured from the cli why the console cable?
I'm on the 1910-8G-POE+ switch btw, pretty happy with it though.
You only entered the "user
You only entered the "user-view" where you can mainly display information, but not configure anything. Maybe you should mention the command "system-view" by which you can enter a higher level of access. In "system-view" you can configure literally everything even features which can't be configured through the web interface such like ospf etc.
Thanks for share!
Thanks for share!
Is it possible to permanent apply this setting? At this moment, I have to repeat this command every time that I connect to the device.
