I am attempting to set up a network: Windows Server 2003 (Dell PowerEdge sc1425) and 40 pc's all connected via 3 ProCurve 2626 Switches, however they are all second hand and have NO manuals or instructions or cables, how do I configure the Switches? the Server is up and running, the PC's are ok, how do I get them to communicate. I have downloaded the PCM software but it is asking for the ip address of the switch, which I do not know (how do I find it?).
Thanks for the help :)
You'll need to obtain a comms lead - connects into the console port of the switch then into an RS232 port on your laptop. Then, you will be able to connect using hyper terminal and you can give the switch an IP address, username, etc. Even a hard-reset won't allow you to configure an IP address as by default it needs to be configured through the lead. Will they not talk without being configured? If you just hard reset them, they should just behave as unmanaged switches.
