Accessing the switch

The following example shows how to manually configure an IP address on the switch:

1.

Configure an IP interface for the Telnet connection, using the sample IP address of 205.21.17.3.

2.

The pending subnet mask address and broadcast address are automatically calculated.

 

 

 

>> # /cfg/l3/if 1

 

(Select IP interface 1)

 

 

 

>> IP Interface 1# addr 205.21.17.3

(Assign IP address for the interface)

 

 

 

Current IP address:

0.0.0.0

 

 

 

 

 

New pending IP address: 205.21.17.3

 

 

 

 

 

Pending new subnet mask:

255.255.255.0

 

 

. . . . . . . . . . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

>> IP Interface 1# ena

 

(Enable IP interface 1)

3.

If necessary, configure up to two default gateways.

 

4.

Configuring the default gateways allows the switch to send outbound traffic to the routers.

 

 

 

>> IP Interface 5# ../gw 1

 

(Select primary default gateway)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 1# addr 205.21.17.1

(Assign IP address for primary router)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 1# ena

 

(Enable primary default gateway)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 1# ../gw 2

 

(Select secondary default gateway)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 2# addr 205.21.17.2

(Assign address for secondary router)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 2# ena

 

(Enable secondary default gateway)

5.

Apply, verify, and save the configuration.

 

 

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 2# apply

 

(Apply the configuration)

 

 

 

>> Default gateway 2# save

 

(Save the configuration)

 

 

 

>> # /cfg/dump

 

 

(Verify the configuration)

Using the Browser-based Interface

By default, the Browser-based Interface (BBI) protocol is enabled on the switch. The Browser-based Interface (BBI) provides access to the common configuration, management and operation features of the switch through your Web browser. For more information, see the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Browser- based Interface Reference Guide.

The BBI is organized at a high level as follows:

Configuration—These menus provide access to the configuration elements for the entire switch.

System—Configure general switch configuration elements.

Switch ports—Configure switch ports and related features.

Port-based port mirroring—Configure mirrored ports and monitoring ports.

Layer 2—Configure Layer 2 features, including trunk groups, VLANs, and Spanning Tree Protocol.

RMON menu—Configure Remote Monitoring (RMON) functions.

Layer 3—Configure all of the IP related information, including IGMP Snooping.

QoS—Configure Quality of Service features.

Access Control—Configure Access Control Lists and Groups.

Uplink Failure Detection—Configure a Failover Pair of Links to Monitor and Links to Disable.

Statistics—These menus provide access to the switch statistics and state information.

Dashboard—These menus display settings and operating status of a variety of switch features.
