The wizard sets up the following configuration on the switch:
• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard
configures one privileged user account during the setup. The user may return to add users
later. The initial account is given the highest privilege level (level 15).
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only, which
allows user account access via these management interfaces. The user may return later to
configure Radius or TACACS+.
• Sets up the IP address for the management VLAN or enables support for DHCP to
configure the management IP address dynamically.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager. The user may
choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used. If it is configured, the default
access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface.
The user may return later to add to the community string or reconfigure the access level
of the community string. Initially only SNMPv1/2c will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled
until the user returns to configure security access for SNMPv3 (for example, engine ID,
view, and so on). The SNMP community string may include spaces. The wizard requires
the use of quotation marks when the user wants to enter spaces in the community string.
Although spaces are allowed in the community string, their use is discouraged. The
default community string contains no spaces.
• Allows the user to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP
addresses.
• Sets up the default gateway IP address.
If the user chooses not to use the wizard initially, the session defaults to the CLI mode with a
warning to refer the documentation. During a subsequent login, the user may again elect not to run
the setup wizard. Once the wizard has established configuration, however, the wizard is presented
only if the user resets the switch to the factory default settings. While the wizard is running, the
system does not display any unsolicited or unrelated status messages. For example, the system does
not display event notification or system status messages.
After completing the wizard, the user is given a chance to save his configuration and continue to
the CLI. If the user chooses to discard his configuration, any restart of the wizard must be from the
beginning. When the user chooses to restart the wizard, any configuration the user saved previously
automatically is offered for the user to accept. The user may elect to correct only a few items
instead of re-entering all the data.
Since a switch may be powered on in the field without a serial connection, the switch waits 60
seconds for the user to respond to the setup wizard question in instances where no configuration
files exist. If there is no response, the switch continues normal operation using the default factory
configuration. While waiting for the response from the user, normal switch operation will continue,
including but not limited to:
