  • 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:...
