Configuring the GigE switch via the Web interface

The following steps are for the HP ProCurve switch, which is required for iSCSI
traffic. If you are using a different switch for non-iSCSI traffic, accomplish tasks
similarly on that switch.

1. From the control point PC or another PC, make sure that you have a direct Ethernet

cable connection to the switch, with no switches, routers, proxies, or other
networking devices in between.

2. On the PC, open Internet Explorer and type the switch’s IP address in the Address

field, as in the following example.

http://192.168.100.61

This should be the name or IP address as currently configured on the switch.

3. Press

Enter

to open the switch’s configuration application.

NOTE: The configuration application for the HP ProCurve switch requires Java.
