Network Setup

Step 2.

Press Return and enter admin as the login id and admin as the initial password.

Password: xxxxx

The system then displays the command prompt:

HP ProCurve Access Controller #<MAC address of Access Controller>

HP 700wl Series@[0.0.0.0]:

If you are using DHCP to supply the IP address, netmask, default router, DNS and WINS server IP

addresses, go to Step 4. Otherwise, perform Step 3.

Step 3. Enter the following commands:

set ip <ip address> <netmask>

is the IP address you want to assign to the Access Controller.

<netmask> is the subnet mask that defines the subnet address range for the Access

Controller. It must be entered in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx — for example, 255.255.255.0.

set hostname <fully qualified hostname>

The hostname must be fully qualified, and it must resolve to the IP address you assign to

this Access Controller. This parameter is optional.

set domainname <domainname>

is the domain name for the Access Controller. This parameter is optional

set gateway <ip address>

is the address of the default router.

set dns <primary dns ip address> <secondary dns ip address>

The two DNS IP addresses are the addresses of your primary and secondary DNS servers.

The secondary IP address is optional.

Step 4. Set the IP address and shared secret of the Access Control Server as follows:

set controlserver <ip address>

is the IP address of the Access Control Server that manages this Access Controller.

set sharedsecret [<secret> <secret>]

must match exactly the secret configured on the Access Control Server.

If you enter this command without its arguments, you are prompted for the shared secret and its

confirmation.

Step 5. If you intend to use a port on an option card as the network uplink port, you must reconfigure

the uplink port from the default on-board port (slot 0 port 2) to the port on the option card.

Caution: Make sure the Access Controller is NOT connected to the network when you

reconfigure the uplink port. Until you reconfigure the option card port as the uplink port, it

functions as a downlink port; and as soon as it is configured as the uplink port, the on-board

(default) uplink port becomes a downlink port. If either of these ports is connected to the

network while it is functioning as a downlink port, serious problems can occur.

To reconfigure the uplink port, enter the following commands:

set uplink <slot>/<port>
