Configuring An Ip Interface; Using The Browser-Based Interface - HP GbE2c - Blc Layer 2/3 Fiber SFP Option Application Manual

Configuring an IP interface

An IP interface address must be set on the switch to provide management access to the switch over an IP network. By
default, the management interface is set up to request its IP address from a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server.
If you have a BOOTP server on your network, add the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the switch to the
BOOTP configuration file located on the BOOTP server. The MAC address can be found on a small white label on
the back panel of the switch. The MAC address can also be found in the System Information menu (see the HP GbE2c
Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Command Reference Guide or ISCLI Guide.) If you are using a DHCP
server that also does BOOTP, you do not have to configure the MAC address.
If you do not have a BOOTP server, you must manually configure an IP address.
The following example shows how to manually configure an IP address on the switch:
1. Configure an IP interface for the Telnet connection, using the sample IP address of 205.21.17.3.
2. The pending subnet mask address and broadcast address are automatically calculated.
>> # /cfg/l3/if 1
>> IP Interface 1# addr 205.21.17.3
Current IP address:
New pending IP address: 205.21.17.3
Pending new subnet mask:
. . . . . . . . . . . .
>> IP Interface 1# ena
3. If necessary, configure up to two default gateways.
4. Configuring the default gateways allows the switch to send outbound traffic to the routers.
>> IP Interface 5# ../gw 1
>> Default gateway 1# addr 205.21.17.1
>> Default gateway 1# ena
>> Default gateway 1# ../gw 2
>> Default gateway 2# addr 205.21.17.2
>> Default gateway 2# ena
5. Apply, verify, and save the configuration.
>> Default gateway 2# apply
>> Default gateway 2# save
>> # /cfg/dump

Using the Browser-based Interface

By default, the Browser-based Interface (BBI) protocol is enabled on the switch. The Browser-based Interface (BBI)
provides access to the common configuration, management and operation features of the switch through your Web
browser. For more information, see the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Browser-based
Interface Reference Guide.
The BBI is organized at a high level as follows:
Configuration—These menus provide access to the configuration elements for the entire switch.
System—Configure general switch configuration elements.
Switch ports—Configure switch ports and related features.
Port-based port mirroring—Configure mirrored ports and monitoring ports.
Layer 2—Configure Layer 2 features, including trunk groups, VLANs, and Spanning Tree Protocol.
RMON menu—Configure Remote Monitoring (RMON) functions.
Layer 3—Configure all of the IP related information, including IGMP Snooping.
QoS—Configure Quality of Service features.
Access Control—Configure Access Control Lists and Groups.
Uplink Failure Detection—Configure a Failover Pair of Links to Monitor and Links to Disable.
