Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3230

Configure switch network information

The Edge Switch 2/32 is delivered with the following default network addresses:

• MAC address—the media access control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory on

the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each switch, and should

not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a hexadecimal pair.

NOTE: References to the CTP in this manual are to the control processor logic contained on

the switch motherboard. If an event occurs that indicates the CTP as faulty, replacement of

the switch assembly is required.

• IP address—the factory preset default internet protocol (IP) address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP

address is also 10.1.1.10.

If Reset Configuration is selected from the Element Manager application, the switch resets to the

default address of 10.1.1.10.

If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch (and the HAFM appliance) must

have a unique IP address. One switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the

remaining switches must be changed.

NOTE: If you have enabled additional port function with the HP Flexport feature since the

switch shipped from the factory, resetting the configuration will return this feature to the

factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable the additional ports using the

Configure Feature Key dialog box (see ”Configure feature key” on page 64).

WARNING! This operation resets all configuration including any optional features that have

been installed. You will need to re-enter your feature key to enable all optional features after

resetting the configuration parameters.

• Subnet mask—the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a complex

public LAN with one or more routers, the address may require change.

• Gateway address—the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a

dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address does not require change. If the

switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the gateway address must be changed

to the address of the corporate intranet’s local router.

Verify that the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network administrator. If one switch is

installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require change.
