Hello David,
I think you could check if the models are based on Realtek chips. Then I see a possibility to aim for a near-perfect solution instead of the proprietary limitations:

> I purchased 2 Arubas for my home network:
> One Aruba 1960 24 Port Switch
> One Aruba 1830 8 Port Switch
>
> They work OK after being properly configured.
> But now I had to restart the smaller switch from remote via CLI
> and I stated, that the switch completely lacks any CLI options.
> After researching, I found out, that they HAD command line in the past and it was removed.
> I cannot return the switches now, so I want to know, if there is some workaround to get CLI support (even inofficial).
> If there is no possibility to get CLI ti work, I would sell both switches because they are unusable for me.
> I'm really disappointed, that HP makes so called "managed switches" that doesn't even support such mandatory and primitive basics like CLI.
> Even worse, they have ACTIVELY REMOVED that function.
> This is in my opinion som kind of plunder, because you HAD some function, but after an update you DON'T have it anymore without warning.
>
> If someone have the 2.3.3 firmware, I would be glad if someone would share it.

> @ HP Support:
>
> I work for a middle sized business and this company is growing.
> They asked me what kind of hardware to by.
> I first had HP and CISCO switches on my list. Cisco was too expensive, so: no way.
> But knowing this, I cannot recommend HP too, because it's unusable without CLI.
> I cannot automate management routines.
> We would now buy 21 Switches, 3 Routers and 11 APs from other brands.
>
> Sorry, but even such cheap manufacturers like Netgear or TP Link have CLI in their managed switches.
> What do you all have with cloudy bullshit and forced management from OUTSIDE the companies network?
> It's MY hardware, it's MY network, it's MY responsibility in configuration.
> No admin with more than 3 brain cells would accept a cloud, wich severs they cannot control.
> I cannot trust a network or a server, that i don't have control of it.
> And I should give it potencially access to my network?
> On wich planet do you all live?
> If I want to remote in my network, I use a VPN. End of discussion.
> The key remains in MY hand and NEVER EVER leave my own castle.
>
> Please re-add CLI to the firmwares, otherwise in 3 weeks I would sell my switches and cancel any recommendations regarding HP.
> I am a programmer and I know, that it is NOT timespending, adding CLI to the software,
> cause it was included in the past.
> That's not professional.
