Hi guys,
Little question about hp5130ei switches (stack of 3) which I recuperated to incorporate in a new network.
Via the bootrom I started the switch without config, after startup 'dis cur' gave me 3 lines so no old config.
Copy pasted the new config with, concerning authentication, the following :
password-recovery enable
local-user admin class manage
password simple info
service-type telnet http https ssh terminal
authorization-attribute user-role network-admin
authorization-attribute user-role network-operator
(info = temporary pass)
The first time I needed to login I got AAA authentication failure which is strange since I am 100% sure it is the correct password.
Since pass recovery is enabled I restarted with ctrl+b and chose option 'Ctrl+P: Change authentication for console login, Skip console login authentication at the next startup. Yes Then option 0 reboot.
Instead of getting into the config I get prompted to give credentials.
So pass does not work and pass recovery neither -> ?
I have other hp5130's on which I tested (and documented) this procedure and on these it went well.
Tried chatgpt and it gave me a remark that this procedure might not work after certain firmware updates.
The firmware on the switch was about 3 years old so I updated to : 5130EI-CMW710-R3507P18-US
I think I am overlooking something, anybody any idea?
Thx in advance.
