GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for HP c-Class Quick Setup Instructions

Accessing the interconnect
switch
The interconnect switch can be accessed remotely using the
Ethernet ports or locally using the DB-9 management serial
port.
To access the interconnect switch remotely:
1. Assign an IP address. By default, the interconnect switch
is set up to obtain its IP address from a BOOTP server
existing on the attached network.
2. From the BOOTP server, use the interconnect switch
MAC address to obtain the switch IP address.
3. From a computer connected to the same network, use the
IP address to access the interconnect switch using a Web
browser or telnet application, which enables you to
access the interconnect switch browser-based interface
(BBI) or command line interface (CLI). The interconnect
switch logon prompt appears.
NOTE: If the interconnect switch does not obtain the
IP address by means of the BOOTP service, you can
access the interconnect switch locally and configure
the IP address manually. After assigning the IP
address to the interconnect switch, you can then
access the switch remotely.
To access the interconnect switch locally:
1. Connect the interconnect switch DB-9 serial connector,
using the null-modem serial cable to a local client device
(such as a laptop computer) with VT100 terminal
emulation software.
2. Open a VT100 terminal emulation session with the
following settings: 9600 baud rate, eight data bits, no
parity, one stop bit, and no flow control.
Logging on and configuring
the interconnect switch
To log on to the interconnect switch, enter admin for both the
default user name and password.
NOTE: If you are in the CLI, you might need to press
the Enter key to display the login prompt.
The interconnect switch comes configured with the factory
default configuration. For more information on configuring the
interconnect switch for your network environment, see the
