Configuring the Switch
Initial Configuration
If a DHCP service is not available in your network, or for some reason the
switch does not acquire an IP address from the service, the switch defaults
to IP address
192.168.1.1
after 120 seconds of automatically attempting
to acquire an IP address.
N o t e
Alternatively, if you cannot determine the switch’s IP address, you can
force it to use the 192.168.1.1 address by first disconnecting the switch
from any router or internet connection and then unplugging and recon-
necting power to it.
To communicate with the switch using the 192.168.1.1 address, see the
section
“Using the 192.168.1.1 IP Address” on page 3-3
before continuing
these steps.
5.
From the PC connected to the switch, open a Web-browser session and
enter the switch’s IP address as the URL. This opens the login screen for
the switch’s Web browser interface from which you perform the next
steps.
6.
Enter the default username “admin” and click
Login
to start a switch Web-
browser interface session. By default, there is no password.
7.
To configure a password on the switch Web interface, click
Maintenance
> Password Manager
and enter the
Current Password
. Define a
New
Password
and reenter it in the
Confirm New Password
field. Passwords
can be up to 64 alphanumeric and special characters in length, and are
case sensitive.
8.
Click
Apply
to implement the new password, and then click
Save Config-
uration
at the top of the browser configuration screen to save your
settings and retain them when the switch is rebooted.
See the
HP 1820 Switch Series Management and Configuration Guide
for
more switch configuration information.
N o t e
If you cannot remember the switch’s IP address or password, you can restore
the factory default settings by following the procedure described in the
section.
