Watch this video for switch port access . You will need to be in global config interface mode.

Switches don't have an address, think of them more like a traffic intersection with 24 roads.

When you plug a device into the switch, that device gets assigned an ip address.

For example:

1. Phone line comes in to your house and stops at your modem, your modem is plugged into the switch. The modem picks up the private network address 192.168.0.0
2. Your computer is plugged into the switch. It picks up ip 192.168.0.1
3. Your friends computer is plugged into the switch. It picks up ip 192.168.0.2

This carries on until you have filled all the sockets on the switch.

The ip's here are only on your personal network, to find what your external ip (your modem -> internet) is just type 'whats my ip' in the google search and it will show you your public ip address.

I'm going to assume you can get in the command line interface. Go into the command mode (type "config t" with out the quotes ) then type "ip http server" press enter, type exit to get out of command mode and then "write memory" to save your configuration. Remember, vlan 1 on the switch MUST have a IP address for you to be able to access the web interface.

HP 2626 do not have a default IP address, you have to set the IP address on an enterprise class business switch. You can find the manual for your switch at http://www.hp.com

Procurve switches do not have a default IP address. you must put an IP address on the switch. You can find a manual for your switch at http://www.hp.com

there is no default ip address on a procurve switch. you have to put an IP address on the switch. You can find a manual for your switch at http://www.hp.com

What do you need it configured to support? Multiple subnets? VoIP support?
Here's an example to support 2 subnets, VLAN 1 Data and VLAN 2 Voice. This switch is the VLAN router for the site and it is also the default gateway for all the devices on the network.

Program the port that the PBX is in as a untagged port on Vlan 2

Here's what you need to do:

First, be sure to assign an ip address(in the proper subnet) to each VLAN.

Second, use the ip helper-address command in the context of each VLAN, the address used should be the address of the DHCP server

Third, Add a scope for each additional VLAN on the DHCP server.

The switch will route the DHCP request to the proper server based on the ip helper-address command parameter and based on the ip address of the VLAN that is passed tot he server, a DHCP address in the proper subnet is automatically configured.

Here is a sample:

ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR# configure
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR(config)# vlan 33
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR (vlan-33)#ip address 192.168.33.254/24
ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR (vlan-33)# ip helper-address 10.1.2.250

The 1800 series do not have CLI so you should connect directly to any RJ-45 port.

I quote from the installation guide:
"In the factory default configuration, the default IP (Internet Protocol) address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0"

So set your PC IP address in the same subnet and access it through your web browser. If it has not the default configuration, interconnect the switch ports 1 and 2 and reboot it.

Hope this helps,

take care
