Using the menu or WebAgent to configure IP addressing
Using the Switch Setup screen to quickly setup IP addressing
If you just want to give the switch an IP address so that it can communicate on your network, or if you are not using VLANs, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use the Switch Setup screen to quickly configure IP addressing.
To use the Switch Setup screen for quickly configuring IP addressing, do one of the following:
Enter the
setupcommand at the CLI Manager level prompt:switch# setup
Select 8. Run Setup in the Main Menu of the menu interface.
For more on using the Switch Setup screen, See the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch.
Using the menu to configure IP address, Gateway, and Time-To-Live (TTL)
From the Main Menu, select:
2. Switch Configuration... 5. IP ConfigurationIf multiple VLANs are configured, a screen showing all VLANs appears. The Menu interface displays the IP address for any VLAN. If you use the CLI to configure the IP address on a VLAN, use the CLI show ip command to list them.
Press [E] (for Edit).
If the switch needs to access a router, for example, to reach off-subnet destinations, select the Default Gateway field and enter the IP address of the gateway router.
If you need to change the packet Time-To-Live (TTL) setting, select Default TTL and type in a value between 2 and 255.
To configure IP addressing, select IP Config and do one of the following:
If you want to have the switch retrieve its IP configuration from a DHCP or Bootp server, at the IP Config field, keep the value as DHCP/ Bootp and go to step 8.
If you want to manually configure the IP information, use the Space bar to select Manual and use the [Tab] key to move to the other IP configuration fields.
Select the IP Address field and enter the IP address for the switch.
Select the Subnet Mask field and enter the subnet mask for the IP address.
Press [Enter], then [S](for Save).
