to put changes into effect.
• If STP Enabled is set to No, you must enable spanning tree using the switch’s Web interface.

The following procedure is for the HP ProCurve switch 29xx series. Do not use this procedure on
other switch models.
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.
