Static IP Address and Subnet Mask, First Time Installation

Page 22 highlights

The initial configuration consists of the following: ● Setting the user name TBD, password as TBD with the highest privilege level of 15 ● Configuring the static IP address and the default gateway ● Configuring the SNMP read/write community strings Before applying the initial configuration procedure, please obtain the following information from the network administrator: ● The IP address to be assigned to a VLAN through which the device is managed. ● The IP subnet mask for the network ● The default gateway ● The read and write SNMP community strings Static IP Address and Subnet Mask Before assigning a static IP address to the PC Blade Switch, obtain the following information: ● A specific IP address that has been allocated to the PC Blade Switch for it to be configured ● Network mask for the network ● Default gateway You can configure IP interfaces on each VLAN of the switch. After entering the configuration commands, HP recommends checking that a VLAN was configured with the IP address by typing the enable show ip interface command. The commands to configure the PC Blade Switch are VLAN-specific. To manage the PC Blade Switch from a remote network, you must configure an interface with a valid address and mask, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the switch tables. To configure a static address, type the command at the system prompt as shown in the following configuration example, where: ● 192.168.1.123/24 is the specific management station ● The IP address is defined on the appropriate VLAN ● The default gateway is defined as 192.168.1.1 Odd ports 1-41, 42, 45, and 46 are in VLAN 1. Even ports 2-40, 43, and 44 are in VLAN 2. console# > enable console# configure console(config)# interface vlan 1 console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.123 255.255.255.0 console(config-if)# exit 16 Chapter 2 First Time Installation ENWW

The initial configuration consists of the following:
Setting the user name

TBD
with the highest privilege level of 15
Configuring the static IP address and the default gateway
Configuring the SNMP read/write community strings
Before applying the initial configuration procedure, please obtain the following information from the
network administrator:
The IP address to be assigned to a VLAN through which the device is managed.
The IP subnet mask for the network
The default gateway
The read and write SNMP community strings
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
Before assigning a static IP address to the PC Blade Switch, obtain the following information:
A specific IP address that has been allocated to the PC Blade Switch for it to be configured
Network mask for the network
Default gateway
You can configure IP interfaces on each VLAN of the switch. After entering the configuration commands,
HP recommends checking that a VLAN was configured with the IP address by typing the
enable show
ip interface
command. The commands to configure the PC Blade Switch are VLAN-specific.
To manage the PC Blade Switch from a remote network, you must configure an interface with a valid
address and mask, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the
switch tables.
To configure a static address, type the command at the system prompt as shown in the following
configuration example, where:
192.168.1.123/24 is the specific management station
The IP address is defined on the appropriate VLAN
The default gateway is defined as 192.168.1.1
Odd ports 1-41, 42, 45, and 46 are in VLAN 1. Even ports 2-40, 43, and 44 are in VLAN 2.
