3 Switch Management
The switch incorporates two distinct interfaces for managing and monitoring purposes:
• The Web Manager interface provides an intuitive graphical user interface that enables users to quickly
check switch status or modify switch settings in a visual environment.
• The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides flexibility and additional functionality for advanced users.
For a list of CLI commands, see : CLI Quick Reference on page 43 . For additional information on the
CLI, see the HP EVA 4000/6000/8000 30-10022-01 loop switch CLI reference guide.
While these interfaces provide nearly identical functionality, this guide describes how to use the Web
Manager interface for switch configuration and monitoring, unless otherwise noted.
Getting Started
This section explains how to configure the switch’s Ethernet network settings prior to using the Web
Manager. Once the switch’s network settings are configured, you can use the Web Manager for
switch configuration and monitoring.
Configuring the Network Interface
Before using the Web Manager, ensure that the switch’s Ethernet network parameter settings are
correct for the network configuration. The switch ships with the following default IP settings:
• IP Address: 192.168.0.10
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.0.1
To adjust these settings to open the Web Manager, connect to the switch using the provided
null-modem serial cable and enter the new network settings.
To connect through a serial interface:
1. Attach one end of the included null-modem cable to the computer’s RS-232 serial port and
attach the other end to the switch’s RS-232 serial port.
2. Open a terminal session through a serial terminal emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal®) with the appropriate serial port (for example, COM1) and the following serial
port parameters:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
3. If using HyperTerminal, press E NTER to receive a prompt.
If using the tip command on a UNIX workstation, do the following:
a. View the /etc/remote file and create an alias similar to Hardware but with the serial
port parameters above (suggested name: Switch).
b. Use the tip command to establish a connection through the created alias, for
example tip switch.
4. Type li and press E NTER .
5. Type the password at the prompt and press E NTER . The default password is “password”.
6. From the serial terminal emulation program, type config network ip and press E NTER .
The switch’s current IP parameters are displayed with a prompt for entering the IP address.
7. Change the IP address and press E NTER .
8. Use the mask and gateway commands to change the subnet mask and default gateway,
respectively.
