Question : Setting up an IP for HP ProCurve switch 2626

We just bought a new 2626 switch and I just can't set a static IP for it. I'd like to manage the switch from a web browser interface.

I use the setup command:
ProCurve Switch 2626# setup

And I get the setup screen. Then I go to:
IP Config [DHCP/Bootp] : DHCP/Bootp

And change it with space bar to:
IP Config [DHCP/Bootp] : Manual

Using tab, I try to get to fields:
  IP Address  :
  Subnet Mask :

But using tab after IP Config [DHCP/Bootp] always gets me to System Name : ProCurve Switch 2626.

I just can't set the Ip and mask, what's the problem?

Dear Hafka

You have two options to set an IP in HP procurve switch

config
vlan 1
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
exit
ip default gateway 10.0.0.1

or else just enter setup from previlage mode then it will be a menu based and just follow the screen to complete the formalities


cheers
