or the switch will be used in complex network topologies.
blank Optional; Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway node if network traffic
needs to be able to reach off-subnet destinations.
None Optional; The protocol the switch uses to acquire a time signal. The options
are SNTP and TimeP.
Disabled Optional; The method the switch uses to acquire the TimeP server address.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Recommended; If you set IP Config to Manual, then enter an IP address
compatible with your network.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Recommended; If you entered an IP address, then enter a subnet mask
compatible with your network.
Stacking is enabled by default, but if the switch was powered on for the first time and a stacking
module is not installed, it becomes disabled and that configuration change is saved in the
switch's running configuration. In that case, for the stacking feature to operate, stacking must
first be enabled. From the config context in the CLI, enter the command stacking enable.

After the Switch is configured with a Manager password, IP address, and
subnet mask, you can manage the switch from a networked connection, such
as:
■ PC equipped with Telnet (see "Starting a Telnet Session" on
■ Web browser interface (see "Starting a Web Browser Session on
SNMP-based network management station using a tool such as HP IMC.
