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, HP recommends that you use
the Switch Setup screen to quickly configure IP addressing. To do so, do one
of the following:
■ Enter
setup
at the CLI Manager level prompt.
HPswitch# setup
■ In the Main Menu of the Menu interface, select
8. Run Setup
For more on using the Switch Setup screen, see the Installation and Getting
Started Guide you received with the switch.
