Menu: Configuring Ip Address, Gateway, And Time-To-Live (Ttl) - HP ProCurve 6400cl Series Management And Configuration Manual

N o t e s
use DHCP or BootP to acquire IP addressing. However, the switch's
gateway, TTL, and TimeP or SNTP values, which are applied globally, and
not per-VLAN, will be acquired through the primary VLAN only, unless
manually set by using the CLI, Menu, or web browser interface.(If these
parameters are manually set, they will not be overwritten by alternate
values received from a DHCP or Bootp server.) For more on VLANs, refer
to the chapter titled "Static Virtual LANs" in the Advanced Traffic Man­
agement Guide for your switch.
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 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.

If multiple VLANs are configured, a screen showing all VLANs appears instead
of the following screen.

use the CLI to configure secondary IP addresses on a VLAN, use the CLI show
ip command to list them. (Refer to "Viewing the Current IP Configuration" on
page 8-7.)
