Configuring IP Addressing
IP Configuration
Configure the Optional Default Gateway. Using the Global configura-
tion level, you can assign one default gateway to the switch.
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-address>
For example:
HPswitch(config)# ip default-gateway 10.28.227.115
Note The switch uses the IP default gateway only while operating as a Layer 2
device. While routing is enabled on the switch, the IP default gateway is not
used. Thus, to avoid loss of Telnet access to off-subnet management stations,
you should use the ip route command to configure a static (default) route
before enabling routing. Refer to chapter 16, “IP Routing Features”, for more
information.
Configure Time-To-Live (TTL). The maximum number of routers (hops)
through which a packet can pass before being discarded. Each router
decreases a packet’s TTL by 1 before forwarding the packet. If decreasing the
TTL causes the TTL to be 0, the router drops the packet instead of forwarding
it.
Syntax: ip ttl <number-of-hops>
HPswitch(config)# ip ttl 60
In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration
level. The TTL default is 64, and the range is 2 - 255.
Web: Configuring IP Addressing
You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
