Web: Configuring Ip Addressing; How Ip Addressing Affects Switch Operation - HP ProCurve 2810 Series Management And Configuration Manual

Configuring IP Addressing
IP Configuration
Configure the Optional Default Gateway. Using the Global configura­
tion level, you can assign one default gateway to the switch.
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-address>
For example:
ProCurve(config)# ip default-gateway 10.28.227.115
Configure Time-To-Live (TTL). Use this command at the Global config
prompt to set the time that a packet outbound from the switch can exist on
the network. The default setting is 64 seconds.
Syntax: ip ttl <number-of-seconds>
ProCurve(config)# ip ttl 60
In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration
level. The TTL range is 2 - 255 seconds.

Web: Configuring IP Addressing

You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
1. Click on the Configuration tab.
2. Click on [ .

How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation

Without an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network, the
switch can be managed only through a direct terminal device connection to
the Console RS-232 port. You can use direct-connect console access to take
advantage of features that do not depend on IP addressing. However, to realize
the full performance capabilities ProCurve proactive networking offers
through the switch, configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask
compatible with your network. The following table lists the general features
available with and without a network-compatible IP address configured.
