Configuring the Switch
This chapter is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly 
assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a 
Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
For more information on using the switch console and the web browser 
interface, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on 
the ProCurve Web site at
 (See 
). 
Recommended Minimal Configuration
In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol) 
address and subnet mask, and no passwords. In this state, it can be managed 
only through a direct console connection. To manage the switch through in-
band (networked) access, you should configure the switch with an IP address 
and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure 
a Manager password to control access privileges from the console and web 
browser interface. Other parameters in the Switch Setup screen can be left at 
their default settings or you can configure them with values you enter.
Many other features can be configured through the switch’s console interface, 
to optimize the switch’s performance, to enhance your control of the network 
traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been 
configured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently 
through a remote Telnet session, through the switch’s web browser interface, 
and from an SNMP network management station running a network 
management program. For a listing of switch features available with and 
without an IP address, refer to “How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation” 
in the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web 
site at 
 (See 
). 
For more information on IP addressing, refer to “IP Configuration” in the 
Management and Configuration Guide
.
N o t e
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 
at 
 (See 
).
