Conguration

To run the quickstart command:

1. Attach a PC to the DWS-1008 switch’s serial console port. Use the following modem

settings: 9600 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity, hardware ow control disabled.

2. Press Enter three times, to display a username prompt (Username:), a password prompt

(Password:), and then a command prompt such as the following:

DWS-1008-aabbcc>

Each switch has a unique system name that contains the model number and the last half of

the switch’s MAC address.

3. Access the enabled level (the conguration level) of the CLI:

DWS-1008-aabbcc> enable

4. Press Enter at the Enter password prompt.

5. Type quickstart. The command asks you a series of questions. You can type ? for more

help. To quit, press Ctrl+C.

One of the questions the script asks is the country code. For a list of valid country codes,

refer to the section “Appendix: Country of Operation”.

Another question the script asks is, “Do you wish to congure wireless?” If you answer y,

the script goes on to ask you for SSID and user information, for unencrypted and encrypted

SSIDs. If you answer n, the script generates key pairs for SSH and the administrative users

you entered, generates a self-signed administrative certicate, and then ends.

Quickstart Example

This example congures the following parameters:

• System name: DWS-1008-Corp

• Country code (regulatory domain): US

• System IP address: 10.10.10.4, on IP interface 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.0

Note: The quickstart script asks for an IP address and subnet mask for the system IP address,

and converts the input into an IP interface with a subnet mask, and a system IP address that

uses that interface. Likewise, if you congure this information manually instead of using the

quickstart command, you must congure the interface and system IP address separately.

• Default route: 10.10.10.1
