Deployment and Configuration
- Unpack the 516733-B21 HP Procurve 6120xg Ethernet 8 Ports Switch and verify that all components are present and in good condition.
- Connect the switch to a power source using the provided power cord and turn it on.
- Connect the switch to a computer or laptop using a console cable and open a terminal program, such as PuTTY, on the computer.
- Configure the terminal program to use a baud rate of 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
- Press the Enter key on the computer to access the switch’s command-line interface (CLI).
- Configure the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway by typing “configure” and pressing Enter. Then type “ip address <IP address> <subnet mask> <default gateway>” and press Enter.
- Configure the switch’s hostname by typing “hostname <hostname>” and pressing Enter.
- Configure the switch’s VLANs by typing “vlan <VLAN ID> name <VLAN name>” and pressing Enter. Repeat this step for each VLAN you wish to create.
- Configure the switch’s ports by typing “interface <port number>” and pressing Enter. Then type “switchport mode <mode>” and press Enter. Repeat this step for each port you wish to configure.
- Save the configuration by typing “write memory” and pressing Enter.
- Test the switch’s connectivity by pinging the switch’s IP address from a computer connected to the switch.
- Monitor the switch’s performance using the switch’s web interface or by using a network management tool, such as HP Network Node Manager.
