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.

3. Use the [Tab] key to select the Manager Password field and enter a manager
password of up to 16 printable ASCII characters.
4. [Tab] to the IP Config (DHCP/Bootp) field and use the Space bar to select the
Manual option.
5. [Tab] to the IP Address field and enter the IP address that is compatible with
your network.
6. [Tab] to the Subnet Mask field and enter the subnet mask used for your
network.
7. Press [ Enter] , then [S] (for Save).
