Installation

To install Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switches use the procedure below.
Installing the Switch
1. Carefully unpack the switch from its shipping container and verify that all parts are
present.
2. Install the 10-Gb/s add-on module(s) in the rear (SSE-G24-TG4 and SSE-G48-TG4
only).
3. Install the mounting ears onto the side of the switch using a screwdriver.
4. Mount the switch into your rack assembly (see Appendix A for optional rail mounting
of the SSE-X24S/R or SSE-X3348S/R)

Configuring the Switch Module

A Layer 2/3 1/10 and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switch module can be configured using two
methods. You may configure it:
• Through the web-based management utility
• Directly through a command line (using a telnet interface or a serial console)
The management utility accesses the switch module through any web browser. To
access the switch directly, use the command line.
Any port may be configured as up (active) or down (inactive). All ports are active by
default.

Web-based Management Utility

You can use the web-based management utility on a web browser to configure the
switch module. You can access the configuration menu by a network connection.
