Table 1 Telnet login authentication methods Authentication method None Password Username and password Characteristics Application scenarios Easy to configure, insecure Easy to configure, secure, providing flat user management Complex to configure, secure, providing hierarchical user management Lab environments and extremely secure network environments Environments that do not need granular privilege management Environments where multiple operators cooperate to manage the switch Configuring the basic network settings An HP 6125XLG blade switch without any configuration will continuously attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP and then download a configuration file based on DHCP options 67 and 150. To use the auto-configuration feature, see HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide. The switch can perform basic data forwarding immediately after connecting to a network. To implement more forwarding features, configure the basic network settings such as IP address, static route, and VLAN. For more information, see HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Configuration Guides. NOTE: Press Ctrl+C to break out of the configuration file download attempt. A save command to store a configuration file will prevent the switch from seeking a configuration file after future reboots.
