Using the Console Setup Screen

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for
management and password protection in your network is to use a direct
console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen.

1.

Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command line
interface (CLI) prompt (the default display).

The CLI prompt appears, for example:

ProCurve#

2.

At the prompt, enter the

setup command to display the Switch Setup

screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default
settings.
