Using The Console Setup Screen - HP ProCurve 2824 Install Manual

Configuring the Switch
N o t e
By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual
method described in this chapter, see "DHCP/Bootp Operation" in the
Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation
CD-ROM that came with your switch.

Using the Console Setup Screen

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage-
ment and password protection in your network is to use a direct console
connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup
screen.
