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 ProCurve Website at
www.procurve.com/manuals.
Using the Console Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage-

connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup
screen.
