Configuring the Switch
Overview
This chapter describes the switch configuration features available in both the
switch console and the web browser interface. If you need information on
how to operate either the web browser interface or the switch console, refer
to:
■ Chapter 3, “Using the HP Web Browser Interface”
■ Chapter 4, “Using the Switch Console”
Why Reconfigure? In its factory default configuration, the switch operates
as a multiport learning bridge. However, to enable specific management
features and to “fine-tune” your switch for the specific performance and
security needs in your network, you may want to reconfigure individual switch
parameters.
How To Find Configuration Information. Each section in this chapter is
organized as follows:
■ Introductory feature information: Provides an overview of the fea-
ture.
■ “How-To” configuration steps: Describes the step-by-step process
used to actually configure the feature. It also includes examples of the
web browser interface and console interface screens.
■ Detailed feature information: Provides a more in-depth description of
the feature, along with notes on interoperation with other features, where
appropriate.
To find a specific feature, see the table on the next page.
