What to do if the network connection is not working properly on my HP ProCurve?
If your network connection isn't working properly with your HP Switch, first ensure that both ends of the cabling are securely connected to both the switch and the connected device. Also, check that both the connected device and the switch are powered on and functioning correctly. As a solution, you can also try using a different port or cable.
What to do if I installed a different module type and the HP ProCurve Switch is not working?
If you install a different module type than the one previously installed in the HP Switch slot, you must reset the switch. This allows the switch processor to properly initialize and configure the new module type.
What to do if the module in my HP Switch has a self-test fault?
If a module installed in your HP Switch experiences a self-test or initialization fault, first verify that the switch has a version of code that supports the module. If it doesn't, download the new code and retest the module. The latest code can be downloaded from the HP Procurve website.
How to identify an invalid module in my HP Switch?
Ensure that you have installed a GL module in the appropriate slot of your HP Switch. Note that HP Procurve XL modules will fit, but they are not compatible with your Procurve GL switch. To confirm, check for a blue “gl module” symbol on the module.
