Targeting the HP ProCurve system
For each HP ProCurve system, add a target system in Bravura Security Fabric (Manage the System > Resources > Target systems):
Type is HP ProCurve (telnet)
Address uses options described in the table below.
The full list of target system parameters is explained in Target System Options .
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Options marked with a | |
Script file | Must be set to agtprocurve.psl (key: script) |
Server | The IP address/domain name of the HP ProCurve system. (key: server) |
Target system’s internal hostname or prompt | This is the internally-defined host name that, along with the logged in user’s name, comprises the HP ProCurve prompt. The script generates the expected prompt using this value, then uses the generated prompt to know when commands have completed. (key: name) |
Save target system configuration | Select this to commit changes made to this target to permanent storage on the router, otherwise it will be stored in memory. This is selected by default. (key: docommit) |
Advanced | |
Port | TCP port number. Typical TCP port numbers are:
|
Connection over SSL | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
Validate the server’s certificate when connecting | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
Terminal type | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
Telnet special write option | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
Directory containing PEM-formatted CA certificate files | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
PEM-formatted CA certificate file | This is a generic Telnet target field that is ignored for HP ProCurve target systems. |
Timeout for connection | Amount of time in seconds the connector will wait for a response. Default is 300 seconds. (key: timeout) |
Setting up a target system administrator
Bravura Security Fabric requires 2 administrative credentials on HP ProCurve to perform Bravura Security Fabric operations. This includes credentials to connect to the HP ProCurve router, as well as a system (enable) password for elevated privileges.
There are different credential scenarios available for targeting HP ProCurve:
Default
operator
manager (Identify as System password )
Renamed account
It is possible to give the accounts different names. One or both may be renamed. However the accounts are still listed with their default names so it must be manually associated.
Associate the renamed operator and manager account to ’ operator ’ and ’ manager ’ from managed accounts, respectively.
Direct Manager login
It is not necessary to use both accounts, if desired the agent can be configured to manage the target using only the manager account . Ensure that System password is unchecked.
