Click on the [Support] button on that page and you can get to support information
regarding your switch, including white papers, operating system (OS) updates,
and more.
You could instead enter the URL for a local site that you use for entering
reports about network performance, or whatever other function you would
like to be able to easily access by clicking on the
[Support] tab.
Management Server URL
This field specifies which of the following two locations the switch will use to
find online Help for the web browser interface:
■ The URL of online Help provided by HP on the world wide web
■ The URL of a network management station running HP TopTools for Hubs
& Switches
The default URL is:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/device_help
which is the location on HP’s World Wide Web site of the help files for the web
browser interface. To use this site, you must have a modem link or other access
to the World Wide Web operating when you run the web browser interface.
Then, when you click on the
[?] button on any of the web browser interface
screens, the context sensitive help for that screen will be retrieved from HP.
Alternatively, if you install HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches on your network
and TopTools discovers your switch, it automatically overwrites the Manage-
ment Server URL field with the address or name of the TopTools management
station. In this case, online help will automatically be provided from the
network management station. Refer to “Online Help for the HP Web Browser
Interface” on page 3-10.
Additionally, HP Top Tools for Hubs & Switches has the capability to perform
network-wide policy management and configuration of your switch. This field
identifies the management station that is performing that function. For more
information, refer to the documentation provided on the HP TopTools CD
shipped with the switch.
