C-2
For an unconfigured switch, you can access the CLI through Express Setup or
through the console port.
You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in
Express Setup mode and then by connecting a switch Ethernet port to the Ethernet
port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow
the steps described in
using Express Setup.
After the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by
entering the IP address 10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. See these
sections in this chapter to then configure the switch by using the CLI:
Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page C-7
•
Completing the Setup Program, page C-7
•
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to
Flash memory by using the write memory privileged EXEC command.
While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 is active until you enter the
write memory command. You lose the Telnet connection after entering the write
memory command.
For more information about using the CLI, refer to the switch command reference
for this release.
You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the
console port of the switch to the serial port on your PC or workstation and
accessing the switch through a Telnet session.
