Overview
Configuring IP Addressing,
Interface Access, and
Overview
This chapter describes the switch configuration features available in the menu
interface, CLI and web browser interface. For help on how to use these
interfaces, refer to:
■ Chapter 2, “Using the Menu Interface”
■ Chapter 3, “Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)”
■ Chapter 4, Using the HP Web Browser Interface”
Why Configure IP Addressing? In its factory default configuration, the
switch operates as a multiport learning bridge with network connectivity
provided by the ports on the switch. However, to enable specific management
access and control through your network, you will need IP addressing. (See
table 5-1 on page 5-11.)
Why Configure Interface Access and System Information? The inter-
face access features in the switch operate properly by default. However, you
can modify or disable access features to suit your particular needs. Similarly,
you can choose to leave the system information parameters at their default
settings. However, using these features can help you to more easily manage a
group of devices across your network.
