HP configs I'm assuming you're using some Cisco IOS version. The equivalent to the Cisco IOS command "Show" is the HP comware command "Display". so 1: show version ~ display version 2: show running-config ~ display current-configuration 3: show ip interface brief ~ display ip interface brief 4: show interfaces trunk: There is no direct "translation" a comware command here. But "display interface brief" and "display port trunk" might both create the output you're looking for. 5: show cdp neighbors Well the HP series run lldp and not cdp. Depending on what output you expect, you might want to run a "display lldp neighbor-information list" 6: show vlan I havent found a command that does exactly what Cisco IOS "show vlan" does, however you can do : "display current-configuration configuration - and the output you look for will be part of that, or you can do : vlan 1 display this which is 2 commands. 7: show ip protocols : there is no one command for this, but try. display ip routing-table protocol [bgp,direct,isis,ispf, rip, static] verbose 8: show ip route ~ display ip routing-table (verbose) where verbose is optional.
