Configuring an IP Address on the Switch

This chapter helps you to quickly assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch. In the factory default configuration, the switch does not have an IP address and subnet mask, so it can be managed only by using a direct connection to the switch console.

Configuring an IP address and subnet mask enables the switch to operate as a managed device in your network, giving you in-band (networked) access to these interfaces:

■HP Web Browser Interface built into the switch

■HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches—SNMP-based network management software shipped with the switch

■the switch console through a Telnet connection

For more information on this topic, refer to “IP Configuration” on page 6-5.

N o t e	An IP address and subnet mask for the switch should be assigned by your
	network administrator and be compatible with the IP addressing used in your
	network. For more information about IP addressing, refer to “IP Configura-
	tion” on page 6-5.
	If your network is a standalone network, your IP addressing and subnet mask
	scheme can be set up in any way that meets your local needs. However, if you
	will be connecting your network to other networks that use globally assigned
	IP addresses, refer to “Globally Assigned Network Addresses” on page 6-14.
