Step 5 Enter the IP address for the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.
A gateway (router or dedicated network device) is a system that connects a
network on one subnet to one or more networks on a different subnet.
You must specify a default gateway if the management workstation and the switch
are on different IP segments.
Step 6 Enter your password in the Switch Password field.
The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a
number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow embedded
spaces at the beginning or end.
Step 7 Enter your password again in the Confirm Switch Password field.
You do not enter a username for the switch. After the switch is configured with an
IP address, you can use CMS to configure a username.
Step 8 (Optional) Enter a host name for the switch in the Host Name field. The host
name is limited to 31 characters; embedded spaces are not allowed.
Step 9 (Optional) Enter the name of your system contact in the System Contact field.
This identifies the system administrator for the switch or network.
Step 10 (Optional) Enter your system location in the System Location field. This
identifies the physical location of the switch.
Step 11 (Optional) Click Enable in the Telnet Access field if you are going to use Telnet
to manage the switch by using the CLI. If you enable Telnet access, you must enter
a Telnet password:
a. Enter a password in the Telnet Password field. The Telnet password can be
from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded
spaces, but does not allow embedded spaces at the beginning or end.
b. Enter the Telnet password again in the Confirm Telnet Password field.
Step 12 (Optional) Click Enable to configure Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). Enable SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using Cisco
Works or another SNMP-based network-management system.
