Getting Started With Switch Configuration
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, which is on the Documentation |

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. Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number:
ProCurve Switch
2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default settings.
3.Use the [Tab] key to select the Manager Password field and enter a manager password of up to 16 characters.
