Switches
Telnet Console Access
To access the switch through a telnet session, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is
reachable from the telnet workstation (for example by using a Ping
command to the switch’s IP address)
2. Start the telnet program and connect to the switch’s IP address.
3. The copyright page and the message “Press any key to continue” will
display. Press a key, and the switch console CLI prompt will display.
If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time
through either a direct connection or a TELNET session, see chapter 3,
“Getting Started With Switch Configuration” for some basic configuration
steps. For more detailed information, refer to the Management and Config-
uration Guide which is on the HP networking Web site.
Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Port
This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the
switch.
To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage
an HP 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX worksta-
tion.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be
configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/
Bootp server.
A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows
you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate
management network.
