Configuring IP Addressing, Interface Access, and System Information

IP Configuration

In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration level. The TTL range is 2 - 255 seconds.

Configure the Optional Timep Server.

Syntax: [no] ip timep <dhcp manual <ip-address>> [interval <1-9999>]

You can specify whether the address of the Timep server is assigned via DHCP or manually, and the interval in minutes between Timep queries (1-9999 minutes; default 720 minutes). The following examples show the Timep command options:

HP2512(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1 interval 60 HP2512(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1 HP2512(config)# ip timep dhcp

HP2512(config)# ip timep dhcp interval 60

HP2512(config)# no ip timep

Web: Configuring IP Addressing

You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.

1.Click on the Configuration tab.

2.Click on [IP Configuration].

3.If you need further information on using the web browser interface, click on [?] to access the web-based help available for the Switch 2512/2524.

How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation

Without an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network, the switch can be managed only through a direct terminal device connection to the Console RS-232 port. You can use direct-connect console access to take advantage of features that do not depend on IP addressing. However, to realize the full performance capabilities HP proactive networking offers through the switch, configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network. The following table lists the general features available with and without a network-compatible IP address configured.
