Enabling Interfaces
This section covers the enabling of ports, VLANs, and management interfaces (Telnet, SNMP):
• Enabling Ports on page 38
• Setting the Management IP Address on page 39
• Enabling Telnet to the Switch on page 39
• Configuring an Interface with an IP Address on page 40
• Using the Show IP Interface Command on page 40
• Setting up SNMP Management on page 41
Enabling Ports
When the switch is first installed, all ports are disabled. To enable all ports in Layer 2, enter no shutdown
all in Global Config mode (see Figure 3-13). Alternatively, you can use the no shutdown command in
Interface Config mode (for the selected interface — see Figure 3-14).
