Configuring the Switch
Using the Console Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for
management and password protection in your network is to use a direct
console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen.
1. Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command line
interface (CLI) prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears, for example:
ProCurve#
2. At the prompt, enter the setup command to display the Switch Setup
screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default
settings.

Manual option.

your network.
