Configuring Your Switch Using the Console Port
To configure the switch using the console port:
Connect a computer to the switch console port using the supplied
S 1
TEP
console cable.
Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
S 2
TEP
Configure the utility with the following parameters:
S 3
TEP
• 115200 bits per second
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
Enter a username and password. The default username is cisco,
S 4
TEP
and the default password is cisco. Usernames and passwords are
both case sensitive.
If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default
username and password, the following message appears:
Please change your password from the default
settings. Please change the password for better
protection of your network. Do you want to change
the password (Y/N) [Y]?
Enter Y, and set a new administrator password.
S 5
TEP
Password complexity is enabled by default. The password
N
OTE
must comply with the default complexity rules.
Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved
C
AUTION
before exiting.
You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to
350xswitches to locate the CLI Guide for your switch.
If you are not using DHCP on your network, set the IP address type
N
OTE
on the switch to Static and change the static IP address and subnet
mask to match your network topology. Failure to do so may result in
multiple switches using the same factory default IP address of
192.168.1.254.
