The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password
protection in your network is to use the OA.

Blade Switch from the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator” on page -11. or telnet
to the IP address assigned by the enclousure bay addressing, see “Hardware setup
overview” on page -8.
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number, for example:
ProCurve Switch 6120G/XG#
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.
3. Use the
[Tab] key to select the Manager Password field and enter a manager password of up
to 16 characters.
