I havent worked on the HP switches for a long time, I'm trying to configure two new 5800 switches, i have assigned the IP and i can ping it, however i can't access the GUI.

Probably because the HTTP (or HTTPS) service should be enabled to provide you the Web Based GUI access on default port 80 (or 443 for HTTPS).

Don't system-view and ip http enable commands work?

I mean something like:

<A5800> system-view
[A5800] ip http enable
[A5800] display ip http

Eventually check the HPE 5820X & 5800 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide here.

Here below just a screenshot of the HTTP Login configuration section (note that you require to define a local user with credentials):

Thanks, realised that's the case.

Need to know how to delete some of the configuration, in system-view there is a delete command but it won't let me delete what i want.

Earlier i added;  'ip host name1 10.2.2.253'

How can i delete the this?

Probably with a good undo (undo command):

undo ip host name1 10.2.2.253

That HPE FlexNetwork 5820X & 5800 Switch Series Fundamental Configuration Guide could be really your friend!

That's done the trick, thanks for your help.

I'll definately consider making HPE FlexNetwork 5820X & 5800 Switch Series Fundamental Configuration Guide  my friend :)

That's great! Good luck with your 5800!
