4.
Click
Network Setup > Get Connected
and configure IP network settings on the switch for

IMPORTANT:
When the switch starts, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server. If the DHCP server is unreachable, the switch falls back to a static IP address, that
is, 192.168.1.1. If a DHCP address is obtained then you must determine the IP address
assigned to the switch. To determine the IP address, access your DHCP server files or use
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) commands on a connected device (such as another
switch). For more information on
Initial Configuration
, see
Installation and Getting Started
Guide
available at
http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals
.
5.
Click the
Save Configuration
button on the browser configuration screen to save your
settings. (This step also preserves your settings when the switch is rebooted.)
You are done with initial switch configuration. Disconnect the LAN cable from your PC and connect
the switch into the network. Be sure to return your PC to its original network settings before
connecting to your network.
