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:
■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 1-2 for 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.
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.

■System LEDs—You can point to the System LEDs area to view information about the switch
LEDs.
Note The System LED area provides general, static information about the LEDs only. The display does not
change to reflect the current state of the LEDs.
Switch LEDs include the following:
•Power (Green)
– On— The system is being powered by AC/DC power or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
– Blinking—Power from the PoE port is lost or insufficient. The LED continues to blink
until PoE is restored or the system is reset.
– Off—The system is powered by the external power adapter.
Note 8-port HP ProCurve 1810G switches may be PoE Powered Devices (PD) through port 1 only. (24-port
ProCurve 1810G switches do not support PoE). The 8-port switches provide an additional PD LED,
which turns On if it is receiving PoE power through port 1.
•Fault (Orange)
– Blinking—A fault has occurred, other than during self-test.
– On—Failure during self-test.
– Off—The switch is operating properly.
•Locator—When on, the switch is in Locate Mode so that it can be physically located. This
mode can be enabled using the Web interface. See “Locator” on page 9-6.
■LED Mode—Each port has two LEDs. The function of the right LED (called the Mode LED)
changes depending on the LED mode selected for the switch. Use the LED Mode button on
the switch to select a mode (Act, FDx, Spd).
You can move your cursor over the LED Mode area to view a description of the LED modes.
Note The LED modes area provides general, static information about the LEDs. The display does not change
to reflect the current state of the LEDs. The physical LED Mode behavior is described below.
On the switch, the active LED mode is indicated by three LEDs:
■Act—Activity. When Act mode is selected, the Mode LED for each port will blink upon port
activity.
■FDx—Full Duplex. When FDx mode is selected, the Mode LED for each active port will
illuminate only when the port is operating in full-duplex mode.
■Spd—Speed. When Spd mode is selected, the Mode LED for each active port will illuminate
when the port is operating at 100 Mbps (blinking) or 1000 Mbps (solid on), or will be off when
the port is operating at 10 Mbps.
If the LED Mode button is not pressed for 10 minutes, the LED mode automatically returns to Activity
mode.
If Green Mode is enabled (see “Green Features” on page 4-5), which turns off the port LEDs, pressing
the LED Mode button temporarily restores the LED Mode feature.

Note The left-port LED is not depicted in the Web Applet. It 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 experienced a self-test fault.
■Off—The port has no active network cable connected, is not receiving link signal, or is
disabled.
