Manually Configuring an IP Address

Where To Go From Here

The above procedure configures your switch with an IP address and subnet mask. With the proper network connections, you can now manage the switch from a network management station, or from a PC equipped with a web browser, or through a Telnet session to the switch console.

To access the switch using a web browser, refer to chapter 3, “Using the HP Web Browser Interface”.

To continue to use the switch console, refer to chapter 4, “Using the Switch Console”.

To access the switch using a network management tool, refer to chapter 5, “Using HP TopTools to Monitor and Manage the Switch”.

Inbound Telnet access to the switch is enabled in the factory default configuration.

To change the Telnet access parameter, refer to “Using the Switch Console to Configure the Console/Serial Link” on page 6-21.

To use Telnet to access the switch console refer to “Starting and Ending a Console Session” on page 4-2.

For problems or error indications, refer to chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”.
