Preface

About This Document

HP 1810 series switches provide reliable, plug-and-play Gigabit network connectivity. As the follow-on to the popular HP Switch 1800 series, the HP 1810 series switches provide additional network security capabilities, enhancements to ease of use, improved energy efficiency, and expanded deployment flexibility. It is ideal for open offices that require silent operation or businesses making the transition from unmanaged to managed networks.

The HP 1810 series switches can be managed in-band from a remote network station using a web GUI, and its configuration may also be viewed using the SNMP manager. This guide describes how to configure and view the software features using the Web-based graphical user interface (GUI).

Audience

The information in this guide is primarily intended for System administrators and Support providers who are responsible for configuring, operating, or supporting a network using HP 1810 series switch software. An understanding of the software specifications for the networking device platform, and a basic knowledge of Ethernet and networking concepts, are presumed.

Getting Started

Note

This chapter describes how to make the initial connections to the switch and provides an overview of the Web interface.

Connecting the Switch to a Network

To enable remote management of the switch through a Web browser, the switch must be connected to the network. The switch is pre-configured with an IP address for management purposes. After initial configuration, the switch can also be configured to acquire its address from a DHCP server on the network.

By default, the switch is assigned the following static IP information for access to the Web interface:

■	IP address:	192.168.2.10
■	Network mask:	255.255.255.0

■Gateway: 0.0.0.0

1.Connect the switch to the management PC or to the network using any of the available network ports.

2.Power on the switch.

3.Set the IP address of the management PC’s network adaptor to be in the same subnet as the switch.

Example: Set it to IP address 192.168.2.12, mask 255.255.255.0.

4.Enter the IP address shown above in the Web browser. See page 1-3 for web browser requirements.

Thereafter, use the Web interface to configure a different IP address or configure the switch as a DHCP client so that it receives a dynamically assigned IP address from the network.

■If you enable DHCP for IP network configuration, the switch must be connected to the same network as the DHCP server. You will need to access your DHCP server to determine the IP address assigned to the switch.

■The switch supports LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), allowing discovery of its IP address from a connected device or management station.

■If DHCP is used for configuration and the switch fails to be configured, the IP address 192.168.2.10 is reassigned.

1-1

Getting Started

Connecting the Switch to a Network

After the switch is able to communicate on your network, enter its IP address into your Web browser’s address field to access the switch management features.

Operating System and Browser Support

The following operating systems and browsers with JavaScript enabled are supported:

Operating System	Browser
Windows XP SP3	Internet Explorer 7, 8
and	Firefox 7–13
Windows 7	Google Chrome 13, 14

Logging On

Follow these steps to log on through Web interface:

1.Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the Web browser address field.

2.On the Login page, enter the password (if one has been set), and then click Login.

By default, there is no password. After the initial log on, the administrator may configure a password.

Port LEDs

Each 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port has two single color LEDs to indicate the, Link/Activity on the Left port LED and the Speed status indicated by the Right port LED.

The left-port LED indicates link status, as follows:

■On—The port is enabled and receiving a link indication or other signal from the connected device.

■Blinking—The port has network activity.

■Off—The port has no active network cable connected, is not receiving link signal, or is disabled.

The right-port LED indicates speed status, as follows:

■On—The port is operating continuously at 1000 Mbps.

■Blinking—The port is operating at 100 Mbps.

■Off—The port is operating at 10 Mbps.

Note	The PD LEDs on the HP1810-8G glow when the switch is powered via the PD Port 1 using an external
	PoE device.

Log

Log

The Log status page displays logged system messages, such as configuration failures and user sessions. The log page displays the 100 most recent log entries. The newest log entry, by default, is displayed at the bottom of the list.

If more than 100 logs accumulate, their Log Index numbers continue to increment beyond 100 and the oldest entries are deleted (for example, if 200 log entries were generated since the system was last restarted or the log file was cleared, then the log file would display entries 101–200).

To display the Log status page, click Status > Log in the navigation pane.

Port Summary

Port Summary

The Port Summary page displays a summary of network traffic from the ports. This summary can be used to identify potential problems with the switch. It also helps to identify what has been configured on this port. The displayed values are accumulated after the last clear operation. Refreshing the page shows the latest statistics, which provide per-port statistics on packets transmitted and received for all the ports. Scroll down the page to view the Port Statistics table, which provides per-port statistics on packets transmitted and received.

To display the Port Summary page, click Status > Port Summary in the navigation pane.

A configuration summary and status of all physical and logical ports are displayed in Figure 2-3.

Trunk

Trunk

The Trunk status page displays the configuration summary and status of each trunk.

To display the Trunk page, click Status > Trunk in the navigation pane.

Figure 2-5 displays the configuration summary and status of a trunk named Trunk1. This trunk is configured in dynamic mode and has 3 and 5 interfaces as its active members.

Figure 2-5. Trunk Page

Table 2-5. Trunk Port Configuration Fields

Field	Description
Trunk	ID assigned to the trunk by the system when the trunk is created.
Name	User-created name for the trunk.
Type	Indicates whether the trunk is Static or Dynamic.
	• Dynamic trunks use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP, IEEE standard 802.3ad). An
	LACP-enabled port automatically detects the presence of other aggregation-capable network
	devices in the system and exchanges Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units (LACPDUs)
	with links in the trunk. The PDUs contain information about each link and enable the trunk to
	maintain them.
	• Static trunks are assigned to a bundle by the administrator. Members do not exchange
	LACPDUs. A static trunk does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member
	ports.
Admin Status	Displays whether the trunk has been enabled or disabled administratively. When disabled, no
	traffic will flow. The messages that members of the trunk exchange in order to manage the trunk
	(LACPDUs) will be dropped, but the links that form the Trunk will not be released. The default is
	Enable.
Link Status	Displays whether the link is up or down.
Static Mode	Displays whether Static mode has been enabled on the trunk. When static mode is enabled, the
	trunk does not transmit or process received LACPDUs. The member ports do not transmit LACPDUs
	and all the LACPDUs it may receive are dropped. A static trunk does not require a partner system
	to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Trunk Members	List of member ports in the trunk.
Active Ports	List all active member ports in the trunk.

For information on configuring trunks, see “Trunk Configuration and Membership” on page 6-1.
