Configuring a ProCurve 24-Port Ethernet Switch

If you are using ProCurve 24-port (managed) Ethernet switches for your dedicated

OSM/TSM service LAN, you should configure the switch ports that are used for

connecting to PMF CRUs—and only those ports—to protect the Services Processors

from possible overload. This procedure is not needed and does not apply to ProCurve

8-port (unmanaged) switches.

1. To access the switch’s configuration interface, open an Internet Explorer browser

window and enter the IP address of the switch in this form:

http://<ip address>.

2. In the configuration interface, select the Configuration tab, then select Port

Configuration.

3. Double-click the port being used for connectivity to the Ethernet port on the PMF

CRU.

4. Make sure Port Enabled is set to Yes.

5. Set Mode to 10HDx.

6. In the Broadcast Limit window, enter a value of 1.

7. Click Apply Settings (you may then close the switch configuration interface

window).

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for all other connections to PMFs on all of the switches.

Caution. These procedures restore Windows registry files. Your existing configuration might

be lost. Before using these procedures, try restoring the configuration from tape backups, or

access the last known good configuration by holding down the space bar as your computer

restarts.

Note. The switch requires a username and password for configuration changes. See

documentation shipped with the switch for the default values
