In the neat little “Quick setup guide” that is included when you buy a switch from HP with USB Console it says:
“Note: You can also connect a console to the switch via the USB console port (cable not provided). For more information on using the USB console port, see the switch Management and Configuration guide. The manuals are available at www.hp.com/networking/support.”
However, if you read the Management and Configation guide, you can’t find anything related to the USB console port, at least not in the 2920-guide.
If you connect your regular micro-USB-cable to a computer, you will see a “HPN Serial Port”. It’s this one we need a driver for. Download the driver here under “other”. This driver works with all HP ProCurve switches with USB console.
Just download install this one (x86 or x64 depending on your OS) and take a look what COM it gets assigned.
Use Putty (or your favourite serial console software) to connect to that COM-port.
