CHAPTER 1
Accessing the Switch
The BLADE OS software provides means for accessing, configuring, and viewing information and
statistics about the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch (GbE2c). This chapter discusses different
methods of accessing the switch and ways to secure the switch for remote administrators:
“The Management Network” on page 24
“Local Management Using the Console Port” on page 25
“The Command Line Interface” on page 25
“Remote Management Access” on page 26, which discusses management the switch via
Telnet, SSH, HTTP, and SNMP.
“Client IP Address Agents” on page 38, such as BOOTP relay and DHCP relay.
“Securing Access to the Switch” on page 41, which discusses RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP,
SSH and SCP, and end-user access control.
