HP Procurve Configuration.

[BoomAM]

Hi.

Can anyone here remember the default subnet/IP of an unconfigured HP ProCurve switch?

For the life of me i cant access a few of our new switches, due to the fact that the rarther useless HP Manuals just say 'connect to it through its IP address' !!!

lol.

Thanks in advance all. .

Thats for the 1800s, doesnt seem to apply to the 2626 switches.

Very confused now.......

The 1800 switches are completely different to the 2626 switches. They configure differentely.

Looks like confusion/tripple post there.

Thanks for the updated link, but the problem still remains, that just tells me whats in the manual. Which unfortunatelly doesnt tell me the default IP of the switch so i can actually access it.

I'd HT in over the com port, but its too much of a faff to get round the back of it now its already in the rack. .
I'd be a bit disapointed in HP if there wasnt a default IP. From experiance, switches usually ship with some random IP on a random subnet.

Tbh, i only want to configure it so i can monitor it and enable spanning tree.

You mean their own internal DHCP server? Or do you mean they'll grab one from the network DHCP?

They do grab one from the DHCP server. I've just set two 2626's up this week.

Check your DHCP server to see which IP was allocated.

Or use the console and type 'show info'

Good thinking batman!
I'll just check the DHCP on our DC, see what IP it has.

Never thought of that. .
