Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32
Task 3: Configure Network Information
The edge switch 2/32 is delivered with the following default network addresses:
•MAC address—the media access control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each switch, and should not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a hexadecimal pair.
NOTE: References to the CTP in this manual are to the control processor logic contained on the switch motherboard. If an event occurs that indicates the CTP as faulty, replacement of the switch assembly is required.
•IP address—the factory preset default internet protocol (IP) address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the Product Manager application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch (and the HAFM server) must have a unique IP address. One switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the remaining switches must be changed.
NOTE: If you have enabled additional port function with the HP Flexport Feature since the switch shipped from the factory, resetting the configuration will return this feature to the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key dialog box (see “Task 9: Configure Feature Key (Optional)” on page 2–15).
WARNING: This operation resets all configuration including any optional features that have been installed. You will need to re-enter your feature key to enable all optional features after resetting the configuration parameters.
•Subnet mask—the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers, the address may require change.
•Gateway address—the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address does not require change. If the switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate intranet’s local router.
