Getting Started With Switch

Configuration

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch

Management

With your Series 5400zl Switches, you can use the switch’s IP address to

manage the switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You

can use either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the

switch.

Starting a Telnet Session

To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is

reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example, by

using a ping command to the switch’s IP address).

2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch

and connect to the switch’s IP address.

3. You will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key to

continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command

(CLI) prompt, for example (assuming there is no password):

ProCurve 5400zl#

Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the

prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed

context help information about the command. Entering any command

followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in

the command entry.

Starting a Web Browser Session

Your Series 5400zl Switch can be managed through a graphical interface that

you can access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your

web browser and typing in the switch’s IP address as the URL. No additional

software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included

in the switch’s onboard software.

An example web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.
