IP Addressing

If you just want to give the switch an IP address so that it can communicate on your network, or if you are not using multiple VLANs, ProCurve recommends that you use the Switch Setup screen to quickly configure IP addressing. To do so, do one of the following:

Enter setup at the CLI Manager level prompt.

ProCurve# setup

Or, run the Menu interface and select 8. Run Setup from the Main Menu.

For more on using the Switch Setup screen, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch.
