Switch Overview

Configuring the Switch

N o t e	By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
	from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual
	method described in this chapter, see “DHCP/Bootp Operation” in the
	Management and Configuration Guide, for your switch, available on the
	ProCurve Web site.

Using the Console Setup Screen

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password protection in your network is to use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup screen.

1. Connect a terminal device to the console port and display the switch console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).
