Using the IP Address for Remote Switch

Management

With your Switch 6400, you can use the switch's IP address to manage the

switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You can use either

a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the switch.

To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:

Make sure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch

is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example,

by using a Ping command to the switch's IP address).

Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch

and connect to the switch's IP address.

You will see the copyright page and the message "Press any key to

continue". Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command

(CLI) prompt, for example:

ProCurve Switch 6400cl#

Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the

prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed

context help information about the command. Entering any command

followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in

the command entry.

Your Switch 6400 can be managed through a graphical interface that you can

access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your web

browser and typing in the switch's IP address as the URL. No additional

software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included

in the switch's onboard software.
