Page 31: Initial Configuration Process
Initial Configuration Initial Configuration Process When using the switch for the first time, configuration must be carried out through a console. Perform the following steps to configure the switch: Connect a terminal to the console port. Manually configure the IP Address by CLI (see “4.2.1 Set IP Address Manually” on page 26 ). Manage the switch. Configure the IP Address You can configure the switch with a static IP address or use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to automatically obtain an IP address for the switch. For the first time configuration, it is recommended to set the IP address manually. 4.2.1 Set IP Address Manually To set the IP address of the switch manually, perform the following:... -

Initial Configuration Figure 4-2: General Mode CLI Command List Screen On the prompt, input “ enable” to enable the Privilege mode. In this mode, you can configure the IP address and execute other advanced CLI commands (see “CLI Documentation” for more information). On the prompt, input “ configure”. -
Page 33: Manage The Switch
Initial Configuration Manage the Switch After the initial configuration, you may manage and monitor network activity by CLI or SNMP management, or by using the Web browser utility. 4.3.1 CLI Management The Command Line Interface (CLI) is administered when the terminal is directly connected to the Console port of the switch. This is an out-of-band connection, which means that it is on a different circuit than normal network communications, and thus works even when the network is down. -
