NOTE: If the switch does not obtain the IP address by means of the BOOTP service, access the switch locally and configure the IP address manually. After assigning the IP address to the switch, then access the switch remotely. To access the switch locally: 1. Connect the switch DB-9 serial connector, using a null-modem serial cable to a local client device (such as a laptop computer) with VT100 terminal emulation software. 2. Open a VT100 terminal emulation session with these settings: 9600 baud rate, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control. Logging on and configuring the switch To log on to the switch: 1. Access the switch ("Accessing the switch" on page 20). After connecting to the switch console, the login prompt appears. 2. Enter admin as the default administrator password. The Main Menu appears and displays all administrator privileges: See the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Command Reference Guide for information on configuring the IP address, changing configuration settings, and monitoring switch operation using one of the following interfaces: • Local RS-232 serial console management interface • Remote telnet console management interface See the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Browser-based Interface Reference Guide for information on using the embedded HTML interface to manage the switch from anywhere on the network using a standard browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft® Internet Explorer. See "SNMP MIBs support (on page 43)" for more information on the SNMP agents. This section also describes how to use the MIBs to configure and monitor the switch using a generic SNMP manager, such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager or HP Systems Insight Manager.
