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 VLANs, HP
recommends that you use the Switch Setup screen to quickly conf igure IP
addressing. To do so, do one of the following:
■Enter setup at the CLI Manager level prompt.
HP4108# setup
■Select 8. Run Setup in the Main Menu of the menu interface.
For more on using the Switch Setup screen, see the Installation an d Getting
