ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Web-based Interface Reference Guide

Overview
Connecting to the GbE Interconnect Switch the First Time
Before you can connect to a GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based interface, you
must set the IP address on the GbE Interconnect Switch. By default, if there is a DHCP server
on the network, a GbE Interconnect Switch obtains the IP address automatically.
If there is no DHCP server on the network, configure the IP addresses of the GbE
Interconnect Switches using the following instructions.
Connect the GbE Interconnect Switch to a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running
an ordinary terminal emulator program (for example, the terminal program included with the
Windows® operating system) using an RS-232C serial cable.
Set your terminal parameters to the following settings:
•
•
•
•
•
•
VT-100/ANSI compatible
9600 baud
8 data bits
No parity
One stop bit
No flow control
After you have set an IP address for each GbE Interconnect Switch, you can use a Telnet
program (in VT100-compatible terminal mode) to access and control the switch. All of the
screens are identical, whether they are accessed from the serial port or from a Telnet
interface.
