Configuring IP Addressing
IP Configuration
■ The IP addressing used in the switch should be compatible with your
network. That is, the IP address must be unique and the subnet mask must
be appropriate for your IP network.
■ If you plan to connect to other networks that use globally administered
IP addresses, refer to “Globally Assigned IP Network Addresses” on page
8-20.
■ If you change the IP address through either Telnet access or the web
browser interface, the connection to the switch will be lost. You can
reconnect by either restarting Telnet with the new IP address or entering
the new address as the URL in your web browser.
IP Addressing in a Stacking Environment
If you are installing the switch into an HP ProCurve stack management
environment, entering an IP address may not be required. See appendix 15,
"HP ProCurve Stack Management" for more information.
