Once you assign it an IP you can then access the Aruba through Telnet, SSH or the Web Browser.

  2. Open "Device Manager" on your computer to find which Serial Port (COM) the switch is on.

  4. Select “Serial,” Update COM Port with number from step 2, Baud Rate should be 9600, select “Open”

  5. Press "Enter" a few times to connect.

  6. Type "show run"

  7. "conf terminal"

  8. "vlan 1"

  9. Give it an IP and Subnet mask such as "ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0"

  10. "(enter)"

  11. "show run"

  12. "end"
