Connections
After a 6600 Switch is configured with a Manager password, IP address, and
subnet mask, you can manage the switch from a networked connection, such
as:
■ PC equipped with Telnet (see “Starting a Telnet Session” on page 3-6)
■ Web browser interface (see “Starting a Web Browser Session” on page 3-
6)
■ SNMP-based network management station using a tool such as ProCurve
Manager.
For more information on these management interfaces and all the features
that you can configure on the switch, refer to the Management and
Configuration Guide at www.procurve.com/manuals.
The following types of networked connections are supported on a 6600
Switch:
Community Name public Default setting recommended.
Spanning Tree Enabled No Default setting recommended unless STP is already running on your network
or the switch will be used in complex network topologies.
Default Gateway blank Optional; Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway node if network traffic
needs to be able to reach off-subnet destinations.
Time Sync Method None Optional; The protocol the switch uses to acquire a time signal. The options
are SNTP and TimeP.
TimeP Mode Disabled Optional; The method the switch uses to acquire the TimeP server address.
IP Config (DHCP/Bootp) DHCP/Bootp Set to Manual unless a DHCP/Bootp server is used on your network to
configure IP addressing.
IP Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Recommended; If you set IP Config to Manual, then enter an IP address
compatible with your network.
Note: The IP address and subnet mask assigned for the switch must be compatible with the IP addressing used in your
network. For more information on IP addressing, see the Management and Configuration Guide at www.procurve.com/
manuals.
Subnet Mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Recommended; If you entered an IP address, then enter a subnet mask
compatible with your network.
