Follow these steps to configure your switch by using Express Setup:
Contact your system administrator and obtain the management VLAN ID, the IP
address, the IP subnet mask, and the default gateway for your switch.
Enter a VLAN ID in the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field. This is the
management interface through which you manage the switch and to which you
assign IP information. The Management Interface field displays 1 by default. The
VLAN ID range for this field is 1 to 1001.
Note The Management Interface (VLAN ID) field is only available on
switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(20)EA1 or 12.2(18)SE or later.
Enter the IP address of the switch in the IP Address field.
Click the drop-down arrow in the IP Subnet Mask field, and select an IP Subnet
Mask.
Enter the IP address for the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.
A gateway (router or dedicated network device) is a system that connects a
network on one subnet to one or more networks on a different subnet.
You must specify a default gateway if the management workstation and the switch
are on different IP segments.
Enter your password in the Switch Password field.
The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a
number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow embedded
spaces at the beginning or end.
Enter your password again in the Confirm Switch Password field.
You do not enter a username for the switch. After the switch is configured with an
IP address, you can use CMS to configure a username.
(Optional) Enter a host name for the switch in the Host Name field. The host
name is limited to 31 characters; embedded spaces are not allowed.
(Optional) Enter the name of your system contact in the System Contact field.
This identifies the system administrator for the switch or network.
