Getting Started With Switch
Configuration
■ Out-of-band networked connection through the dedicated Management
port on 6600-24XG, 6600-48G, and 6600-48G-4XG Switches
To use: Connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Mgmt port to manage a
6600 Switch via Telnet from a remote PC or UNIX workstation.
You must first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask
by using the out-of-band console connection (see “Minimal Configuration
Through the Out-of-Band Console Connection” on page 3-2) or through
DHCP/Bootp.
A networked out-of-band connection allows you to manage data network
switches from a physically and logically separate management network.
For more information on, refer to the “Network Out-of-Band Management
(OOBM)” appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide at
www.procurve.com/manuals.
■ In-band networked connection through a data port on the switch
To use: Connect a PC or UNIX workstation with a VT-100 terminal
emulator directly to a switch data port. Then access the switch via Telnet
from the workstation
You must first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask
by using the out-of-band console connection (see “Minimal Configuration
Through the Out-of-Band Console Connection” on page 3-2) or through
DHCP/Bootp.
For more information on in-band and out-of-band networked connections for
switch management, refer to “Using the IP Address for Remote Switch
Management” on page 3-6 and the Management and Configuration Guide at
www.procurve.com/manuals.
Management
Sessions
A 6600 Switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band serial console
session through the Console port and up to five in-band Telnet/TCP
(networked) sessions through data ports on the switch.
