Configuring the Enable Mode Password

6. Configure an enable mode password.
Syntax: enable password [md5] <password>
Enter the md5 option to encrypt the password. Replace <password>
with an alphanumeric string of up to 16 characters.
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config)# enable password md5 ProCurve
The word ProCurve is shown as the password only for simplicity. In a
production environment, you should follow the standard guidelines for creat-
ing a password that cannot be easily guessed by unauthorized users. In
addition, you should avoid writing the password down and posting it where
others can read it.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

1. Use a 10Base-T or 100Base-T cable to connect the Ethernet port on the
ProCurve Secure Router to the appropriate device on your LAN. In most
cases, you will connect the router to a core switch.
2. Access the configuration mode context for the Ethernet interface.
Syntax: interface ethernet 0/<port>
For example, if you want to configure the bottom Ethernet port, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
3. Assign the Ethernet interface an IP address.
Syntax: ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
For example, if you want to assign the Ethernet interface an IP address
of 192.168.115.1 /24, enter
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# ip address 192.168.115.1 /24
4. Activate the Ethernet interface.
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# no shutdown
A message should be displayed at the CLI, reporting that the interface is
"administratively up." In a few moments, another message should be
displayed reporting that the interface is up. (If this message does not
appear, you can find troubleshooting information in the Basic
Management and Configuration Guide, Chapter 3: Configuring
Ethernet Interfaces.)
