7. (Optional) Configure trunking (link aggregation) on the switch and another network device that supports
that feature.
One of the significant features on the HP PS1810-G Switch is trunking, or link aggregation. This feature provides twice the
bandwidth for connections, such as to the HP ProLiant server, and provides redundancy in case one of the connections is lost.
See the "Trunking" chapter in the switch Management and Configuration Guide for the procedures to configure and monitor
trunking for the switch.
Managing the Switch via the 192.168.2.10 Address
If the switch does not acquire an IP address via the DHCP request, it defaults to the following configuration:
Parameter
Factory Default Setting
Password
<blank>
IP address
192.168.2.10
Subnet mask
255.255.255.0
Default gateway
not set
To communicate with the switch via the 192.168.2.10 address, follow these procedures:
1.
Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect a
PC directly to any of the switch's network ports.
2. Configure the PC's IP Address and Subnet Mask to allow it to communicate with the switch through your
PC's Web browser.
For example, for Windows 7, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the Control Panel, then click Network and Internet and then Network
and Sharing Center.
2. Click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type the password or provide confirmation.
3. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties.
Note: Be sure to record all your PC's current IP settings to be able to restore them later, if needed.
4. Click Use the following IP address, and then, in the IP address and Subnet mask fields, type the IP address settings:
For IP address, enter an IP address in the same range as the switch's IP address, for example, enter 192.168.2.12.
a.
b.
For Subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0, then click OK.
Click Close (or OK) to close the Local Area Connection Properties screen.
c.
5. Open your Web browser on the PC, and enter the switch address, http://192.168.2.10, to access the switch's Web interface.
6. Go back to step 6b on the previous page to configure the switch.
Note: If you subsequently decide to use automatic IP addressing via a DHCP service in your network, reconfigure the switch
by following the procedures in the switch Installation and Getting Started Guide. Make sure that you also reconfigure your
PC by following steps 1 through 3 above, then for step 4, select Obtain an IP address automatically.
