switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. This information is also required if you
plan to use the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.

Step 1 Enter Yes at the following two prompts.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
