you have completed the configuration.
Note: Step C should be executed only after the Initial
Configuration is completed.
Initial Configuration
Overview
The HP Secure Web Console comes with a pre-configured IP
address 192.0.0.192. An Initial Configuration step is required to
assign the final IP address to the HP Secure Web Console.

A. If you have a DHCP server, you first need to configure the
following entry for the HP Secure WEB Console into the DHCP
server configuration file:
Example ( customize italics ):
mac:ht=ether: \
LAN cable
ha= 0060b0a6021 :\
gw= 15.128.125.1 :\
ip= 15.128.175.190 :\
sm= 255.255.248.0 :\
ds= 15.0.48.4 :\
dn= hplvod6
To activate this entry, execute on the DHCP server: bootpd <
DHCP configuration file >
When the HP Secure WEB Console is first powered-on, the
DHCP server assigns to it the IP address mapped to its MAC
address. This is only executed if the HP Secure WEB Console IP
address is 192.0.0.192.
Connect the serial cable to the console port (see graph C p. 4).
From a PC or Workstation, run a browser with http://<Console IP
address> and follow the instructions on the screen.
B. If you have no DHCP server, you need to connect to the HP
Secure Web Console over the LAN using its 192.0.0.192 IP
External
address.

Note: For this initial step, your HP Secure Web Console must be
on the same physical LAN as the client_host (no intermediate IP
router); you may temporarily connect the HP Secure Web
Console to your client_host' s LAN and move it to its final location
only after the final IP address has been assigned to it.
Note: Power-off any other devices having the same 192.0.0.192
IP address (Check that "ping 192.0.0.192" does not reply before

Run a web browser from a client_host (PC or a Workstation) on
the same IP subnet as the HP Secure WEB Console.

Disable Proxies (use "no Proxies" or temporarily add
192.0.0.192 to the list of URLs for which no proxy is
configured), enable Java™ and Java™ scripts.
Enter the following commands into either a DOS or
UNIX window on the client_host (PC or Workstation
where your browser is running) to configure the HP Secure
Web Console and add it to the gateway list:
