Appendix C Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs

automatically after the switch is powered up. You must assign an IP address and

other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the

local routers and the Internet. This information is also required if you plan to use

the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.

IP Settings

You will need this information from your network administrator before you

complete the setup program:

• Switch IP address

• Subnet mask (IP netmask)

• Default gateway (router)

• Enable secret password

• Enable password

• Telnet password

Completing the Setup Program

Note If your switches are stacked and there are multiple console connections to

individual switches in the stack, the initial setup dialog appears in the first console

where the user presses Enter.
