Configuring IP Addressing

IP Configuration

The IP addressing used in the switch should be compatible with your network. That is, the IP address must be unique and the subnet mask must be appropriate for your IP network.

If you change the IP address through either Telnet access or the web browser interface, the connection to the switch will be lost. You can reconnect by either restarting Telnet with the new IP address or entering the new address as the URL in your web browser.

IP Addressing in a Stacking Environment

If you are installing the switch into an HP ProCurve stack management environment, entering an IP address may not be required. See the chapter on stack management in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide.

Do one of the following:

To manually enter an IP address, subnet mask, set the IP Config parameter to Manual and then manually enter the IP address and subnet mask values you want for the switch.

To use DHCP or Bootp, use the menu interface to ensure that the IP Config parameter is set to DHCP/Bootp, then refer to “DHCP/Bootp Operation” on page 8-12.
