Getting Started

Step 2 - Boot up the system.

1. For zl switch LED indications during boot up, refer to the zl switch

Installation and Getting Started Guide supplied with the switch. When

the switch completes self-test, the Power LED stays on, and the Fault,

Locator, and Test LEDs are off.

2. The port LEDs on the switch modules go through their self-test.

After self-test, if a port is connected to an active network device, its Link

LED stays on and its Mode LED behaves according to the mode selected.

In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LED should flicker showing

network activity on the port.

If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs will

remain off.

3. On the Module, the Locate Ports and LED Mode LEDs initially turn on. The

Module Status LED will turn initially turn on (red) to start the bootup

process, and then will turn off.

After self-test and bootup have successfully completed, the Module Status

LED will turn on (green), and the LED Mode LEDs may flicker showing

activity on the Uplink and Downlink ports.

4. On a Radio Port, both LEDs blink about once every 5 seconds, indicating

that the Radio Port is adopted and ready for use.

For details on the LEDs behavior of the radio ports, refer to the Radio Port

Installation and Getting Started Guide for the respective models (210,

220, and 230).

Step 3 - Determine Module IP address.

The Module IP address is set automatically by a DHCP server or by a manual

setting via CLI commands.

1. By default, the Module obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. These

DHCP services may be provided from a network provider or from a local

DHCP server. To determine the IP address of the Module, connect a PC

or terminal to the console port on the ProCurve zl Switch and open a

console session. The following is a sample start up screen.
