Configuration Overview

In most cases, the PC Blade Switch can be used without making any changes to the default
configuration. If the default configuration needs to be modified, please consider the following information.
NOTE: After making any configuration changes, you must save the new configuration before
rebooting. To save the configuration, at the (console#) prompt, type: copy running-config
startup-config and confirm.

Initial Configuration

NOTE: Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product.
Initial configuration, which starts after the PC Blade Switch has booted successfully, includes static IP
address and subnet mask configuration and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote
management. If you will manage the device from an SNMP-based management station, you must also
configure SNMP community strings.
The initial simple configuration uses the following assumptions:
●
The PC Blade Switch was never configured before and is in the same state as when it was received.
●
The PC Blade Switch booted successfully.
● The Serial connection is established and the console prompt is displayed on the screen of a VT100
terminal console applicaiton. (Press
correctly.)
●
The PC Blade Switch is not configured with a user name and password.
The initial PC Blade Switch configuration is through the serial port. After the initial configuration, you
can then manage the PC Blade Switch either from the already connected serial port or remotely through
an interface defined during the initial configuration.
