Web: Configuring Ip Addressing - HP ProCurve 6400cl Series Management And Configuration Manual

Note
Configure the Optional Default Gateway. Using the Global configura­
tion level, you can manually assign one default gateway to the switch. (The
switch does not allow IP addressing received from a DHCP or Bootp server
to replace a manually configured default gateway.)
Syntax: ip default-gateway < ip-address >
For example:
HPswitch(config)# ip default-gateway 10.28.227.115
The switch uses the IP default gateway only while operating as a Layer 2
device. While routing is enabled on the switch, the IP default gateway is not
used. Thus, to avoid loss of Telnet access to off-subnet management stations,
you should use the ip route command to configure a static (default) route
before enabling routing. Refer to chapter 16, "IP Routing Features", for more
information.
Configure Time-To-Live (TTL). The maximum number of routers (hops)
through which a packet can pass before being discarded. (The default is 64.)
Each router decreases a packet's TTL by 1 before forwarding the packet. If a
router decreases the TTL to 0, the router drops the packet instead of forward­
ing it.
Syntax: ip ttl <number-of-hops>
HPswitch(config)# ip ttl 60
In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration
level. The TTL default is 64, and the range is 2 - 255.

Web: Configuring IP Addressing

You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
1. Click on the Configuration tab.
2. Click on
[IP Configuration]
3. If you need further information on using the web browser interface, click
on to access the web-based help available for the switch.
