Aaron Delp’s BladeVault

This is more of a brain dump than an informative article.  I recently had to put an IP address on an HP Blade GbE2c switch for a lab setup.  The switch does BootP by default but we didn’t have this available and only one uplink out of the switch.  It has been a few years since I worked on one but the last time I did this the switch would not accept an EBIPA address.  So, here are the config commands:

• /cfg/sys/bootp to access the bootp settings, bootp must be disabled to apply an ip address
• d to disable bootp
• /cfg/l3/if (interface number) - I used 21 in this case.  19 is the interface to the Onboard Administrator (OA)
• enter the ip, mask, etc
• ena to enable the port
• apply to save to running config
• save to save to flash memory
