HP ProCurve 630 RPS/EPS Connectivity
This section shows the recommended connection topology using the HP
ProCurve 630 RPS/EPS. The HP ProCurve 630 RPS/EPS can provide backup
power support for only one ProCurve switch. In the illustration below, the
ProCurve Switch 2910 is connected to the RPS and EPS ports on a HP
ProCurve 630 RPS/EPS.
Figure 2-18. Connecting RPS/EPS to a switch
9. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch
The switch has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing
switch management tasks including the following:
■
monitor switch and port status and observe network activity statistics
■
modify the switch’s configuration to optimize switch performance,
enhance network traffic control, and improve network security
■
read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting
■
download new software to the switch
■
add passwords to control access to the switch from the console, web
browser interface, and network management stations
The console can be accessed through these methods:
■
Out-of-band:
The switch comes with a serial cable for connecting a PC
or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console, directly to the switch.
■
In-Band:
Access the console using Telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that
you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using
either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp. For more
information on IP addressing and on starting a Telnet session, see
chapter 3,
“Getting Started With Switch Configuration”
, and the
Man-
agement and Configuration Guide,
which is on the HP ProCurve Web
site at
www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals
.
The Switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band console session
through the Console Port and one in-band Telnet console session.
