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
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:
1
■ 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.
Note ■ 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.

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.

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.
on page 9-5.
■ Blinking—The port has network activity.
■ Off—The port has no active network cable connected, is not receiving link signal, or is

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.
Note 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.

Figure 2-5. Trunk Page
Table 2-5. Trunk Port Configuration Fields
Field Description
Tru nk ID assigned to the trunk by the system when the trunk is created.
Name User-created name for the trunk.
Ty pe 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.
