Appendix C Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes
Step 2 Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return.
On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters.
Do not use -n, where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch.
Enter host name [Switch]: host_name
Step 3 Enter an enable secret password, and press Return.
The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive,
allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted, and the enable password is
in plain text.
Enter enable secret: secret_password
Step 4 Enter an enable password, and press Return.
Enter enable password: enable_password
Step 5 Enter a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return.
The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores
leading spaces.
Enter virtual terminal password: terminal-password
Step 6 (Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts. You
can also configure SNMP later through the CLI, the device manager, or the Network Assistant
application. To configure SNMP later, enter no.
Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no
Step 7 Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the
management network, and press Return. For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface.
Enter interface name used to connect to the
management network from the above interface summary: vlan1
Step 8 Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return. The IP
address and subnet masks shown are examples.
Configuring interface vlan1:
Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes
IP address for this interface: 10.4.120.106
Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.0
Step 9 Enter Y to configure the switch as the cluster command switch. Enter N to configure it as a member
switch or as a standalone switch.
If you enter N, the switch appears as a candidate switch in the Network Assistant GUI. You can configure
the switch as a command switch later through the CLI, the device manager, or the Network Assistant
application. To configure it later, enter no.
Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? [yes/no]: no
You have now completed the initial configuration of the switch, and the switch displays its initial
configuration. This is an example of output that appears:
The following configuration command script was created:
hostname switch1
enable secret 5 $1$Ulq8$DlA/OiaEbl90WcBPd9cOn1
enable password enable_password
