Performing the Initial Configuration
The S5000 has two management ports available for system access — a console port and a universal serial
bus (USB)-B port. The USB-B port acts the same as the console port. The terminal settings are the same
for both access ports.
The S5000 supports bare metal provisioning (BMP). For information about how to configure BMP, refer to
FTOS Configuration Guide for the S5000 Switch.
Software Configuration Overview
To configure the S5000, follow these steps:
1. Access the RJ-45/RS-232 console port.
2. Enter the initial configuration information.
3. Configure the enable password.
4. Configure a host name.
5. Configure layer 2 (data Link) mode.
6. Configure the management port IP address.
7. Configure a management route.
8. Configure a username and password.
9. Create a port-based VLAN.
10. Assign interfaces to a VLAN.
11. Assign an IP address to a VLAN.
12. Connect the S5000 to the network.
Accessing the RJ-45/RS-232 Console Port
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already
installed on your PC.
The DB9 RS-232/RJ-45 console port is labeled on the lower left-hand side of the S5000 as you face the
Utility side of the chassis.
1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable to connect the S5000
console port to a terminal server.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3. Set the default terminal settings as follows:
a. 9600 baud rate
b. No parity
