Configuring the Switch
Recommended Minimal Configuration
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 line
interface (CLI) prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears, for example:
ProCurve_2520G-24-PoE#
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.
