Managing HP ProCurve switches is a breeze when you've got an HP ProBook 6570b handy with its (really under-rated) RS232 connector.
Putty (Unofficial) PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. This is an inofficial portation of PuTTY for the Windows Store. You almost certainly have set the wrong character set in your PuTTY settings. Verify the character set on the remote system by running the command: This should return something like: So check your PuTTY settings under Translation and ensure that you have UTF-8 set as the character set. If your sink is leaking, look under the sink to see if water is leaking from the drain itself or from the pipes below. If the sink drain gasket is old and cr.
Some of the switches don't have a USB port (which itself is a hassle to get working) so I've found the easiest way to pull config files over the wire in Windows is with ExtraPuTTY - this little fork of PuTTY integrates file transfer protocols like XMODEM which have made my life a lot easier.
