Log In To Serial Console Port; Set Static Ip Address; Set Date And Time - HP SN3000B Quick Start Instructions

Log in to the serial console port
1. Verify that the switch has completed POST.
When POST is complete, the port status, switch
power, and status LEDs return to a normal state.
2. When the terminal emulator stops reporting
information, press Enter to display the login
prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default
password, password.
You are prompted to change the default password
at initial login.
NOTE: You can configure the switch using a
static IP address or DHCP. With DHCP (enabled
by default), the switch obtains its IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway address from
the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect
only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet
as the switch. The Ethernet cable must be
connected to the management Ethernet port on
the switch if you are using DHCP. If you are
using a static IP address, see
address" (page 6).
Set a static IP address
1. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet
IP address.
For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal
notation:
Ethernet IP Address:
192.168.74.102
For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated
notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6
--add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
2. Provide the remaining network information:
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102
nl
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.252.0
nl
Gateway IP Address: 15.226.172.1
3. As an option, verify the IP address by entering
the ipaddrshow command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the
port side of the switch.
5. When prompted, enter off to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
6. If the serial port is no longer required, use the
logout command to log out of the serial console.

Remove the serial cable and replace the plug in
the serial port.
7. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the
Ethernet network that assigned the IP address.
Set the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging, error
detection, and troubleshooting.
1. Using a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session,
connect to the switch using the IP address that you
configured, and then log in to the switch as
admin using the password you set when you
logged in to the serial console port.
2. Enter the date command using the following
syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy", where:
mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99.
NOTE: Values greater than 69 are
interpreted as 1970 through 1999; values
less than 70 are interpreted as 2000
through 2069.
3. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone
[--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by
country/city or by time-zone ID, such as PST. The
following example shows how to change the time
zone to US/Central:
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Pacific
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Central
