Configuring the Switch

Initial Configuration

The HP 1810 Switch Series can be managed through a Web-browser interface
that you can access from any PC or workstation in the connected network.
For initial configuration, you may want to assign an IP address to the switch
that is compatible with your existing network. However, you first need to
access the Web interface using the switch's default IP address.
In the factory default configuration, the default IP (Internet Protocol) address
of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The following procedure shows how to access the Web interface and change
the switch's IP address:
1. Place the switch close to the PC that you will use for configuration. It
helps if you can see the front panel of the switch while working from your
PC.
2. Connect power to the switch, and then start your PC (if it is not already
running) and wait until it has finished its start-up sequence.
3. Reconfigure the PC's IP address and Subnet Mask so that it can commu-
nicate with the switch. If you are unfamiliar with this process, see
"Changing the PC's IP Address" on page
4. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet LAN
cable. Verify that you have a link by checking the LEDs on the front-panel
of the switch (see
5. Open your Web browser on the PC, and enter the factory-default address,
http://192.168.2.10, to access the switch's Web interface. If your PC is
properly configured, you will see the log on page of the switch. If you do
not see the log on page, check your settings and repeat step 3.
Click Login to log onto the switch (there is no default password).
