Configuring the Switch

In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol)

address and subnet mask, and no passwords. Until an IP address and subnet

mask are assigned, it can be managed only through a direct console connec-

tion. ProCurve recommends that you set a management password to control

access privileges from the console and Web browser interface.

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, for your switch, available on the

ProCurve Web site.

Using the Console 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. Connect a terminal device to the console port and display the switch

console command (CLI) prompt (the default display).

2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup

screen. The Setup screen with the default settings is shown below.
