How do I access my Switches using a program callled "Putty.exe"?

Hi All,

I have two HP Switches model HP 3800 and I want to login into them so I can see its configuration. I have a program called "Putty.exe" but the previous network engineer uses this program to connect to our switches (HP and Cisco switches).

I watch some videos but I am not really sure how to use. Any advice?

If SSH is enabled on switches, you should enter IP address of switch and port number 22 in putty.

How do I find out the IP address from my switches?

there is any command prompt?

Please NOTE:  we do not have a server and we are connected to our switches. our server is on the Citrix environment. (server in the cloud).

Hello , you can connect directly to the switch by aux port , you need to have a serial port on the pc and a cable provided with the switch .

if want to connect by ssh , you can use an ip scanner to look for you switch IP
