Installing the Series 2300 and 2500 Switches
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management (Series 2500 Switches Only)
Installing the Series 2300
and 2500 Switches
Where to Go From Here
The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP
address, and subnet mask. With the proper network connections, you can
now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet and/or a web browser
or from an SNMP network management station.
Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next
section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP
management interfaces and all the features that can be configured on the
Series 2500 switches, please see the Management and Configuration Guide
that came with your Series 2500 switch.
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch
Management (Series 2500 Switches Only)
With your Series 2500 switch, you can use the switch’s IP address to manage
the switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You can use
either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the switch.
Starting a Telnet Session
To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch
is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example,
by using a Ping command to the switch’s IP address).
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch
and connect to the switch’s IP address.
3. You will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key to
continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command
(CLI) prompt, for example:
HP ProCurve Switch 2524#
Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the
prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed
context help information about the command.
