After working with ProCurve switches for a while, I figured I would post my general configuration for others to use as a template. This configuration will be a simple setup with two VLAN's, please replace IP addreses and VLAN ID's with what fits your environment:
hostname HP-PROCURVE-CORE
time timezone -480
time daylight-time-rule Continental-US-and-Canada
sntp server priority 1 128.138.140.
