Getting Started With Switch Configuration
Getting Started With Switch
Configuration
Note By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual
method described in this chapter, see “DHCP/Bootp Operation” in the
Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site.
See page 5-1 for details.
Using the Switch Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage-
ment 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 (CLI)
prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number, for
example:
ProCurve 5400zl#
2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup
screen. The following illustration is an example of a Setup screen with
default settings.
