I have a HP 2530-8G on the network which we cannot log in to as we do not know the management IP address. The MAC address does not appear in any of the DHCP leases so I would assume it is using a static IP. Nor does it appear in any IP scans (e.g. Angry IP) and from another switch of the same model, I cannot see any way to hide it from ICMP requests. Attempts to connect via the management ports have also resulted in failure. The Micro USB connection requires the use of a terminal emulator (such as KiTTY) but all attempts have failed and I do not have a laptop with a serial port.
So, I cannot find its MAC address anywhere I look nor can I find the IP address. How do I connect to the management interface to find out how this switch is configured?
Thanks is advance.
