Software Installation

This section contains procedures to help you become acquainted quickly with the switch software.
Before installing switch software, you should verify that the switch operates with the most recent
firmware.

Quick Starting the Networking Device

1. Configure the switch for In-band or Out-of-Band connectivity. In-band connectivity allows
access to the software locally or from a remote workstation. You must configure the device
with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Turn the Power ON.
3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is
called the default mode.
4. When the prompt asks for operator login, do the following steps:
– Type at the login prompt. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands require
admin
administrator account rights, log in to an administrator account.
– Do not enter a password because the default mode does not use a password.
– Check the CLI User EXEC prompt is displayed.
– Enter
enable
– Enter
configure
– Enter to return to the previous mode.
exit
– Enter to show a list of commands that are available in the current mode.
