For an unconfigured switch, you can access the CLI through Express Setup or
through the console port.
Express Setup is supported on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1
or later. If you are installing a new switch, refer to the Cisco IOS release label on
the rear panel of the switch to determine the release.
For switches running releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1, go to
the "Taking Out What You Need" section on page
You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in
Express Setup mode and then connecting an Ethernet port of the switch to the
Ethernet port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup
mode, follow the steps described in
powering on the switch and using Express Setup.
After the switch is in Express Setup mode, use Telnet to connect to the switch by
using the IP address 10.0.0.1, and 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-11
•
Completing the Setup Program, page C-11
•
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 remains active on the switch
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 command reference for this
release.
