IP Address Notation Convention
You must sometimes enter an IP address or addresses as part of a command.
For example, you might need to assign an IP address to a logical interface on
the ProCurve Secure Router, or you might need to enter an IP address to be
filtered by an ACL.
When you enter IP addresses, you must use one of the following formats:
IP address with subnet mask:
Syntax: ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
IP with Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation (prefix length):
Syntax: ip address 192.168.1.1 /24
Quick Starts
Each chapter includes a Quick Start section that provides the instructions you
need to quickly configure the functions described in that chapter on your
ProCurve Secure Router. Designed for experienced network administrators,
the Quick Start sections provide minimal explanation.
The first time you perform a task, ProCurve Networking strongly recommends
that you read the entire chapter so you thoroughly understand how to manage
the ProCurve Secure Router. If you begin to use the Quick Start instructions
and find that you need additional information about a specific aspect of the
configuration, check the "Contents" for that chapter to locate the section that
contains the explanation you need.
The Quick Start section is located at the end of each chapter. For the specific
page number, consult the "Contents" pages located at the beginning of each
chapter.
