Clear text passwords cannot include the dollar sign ($) special character.
Note
Tip If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software will reject your password
configuration. Be sure to configure a strong password as explained in this step. Passwords are case-sensitive.
If you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 3 Enter the same password again.
If you enter the same password, the software accepts the password and begins asking a series of configuration questions.
Step 4
Until you are asked for an IP address, you can enter the default configuration for each question.
Repeat this step for each question until you are asked for the Mgmt0 IPv4 address.
Step 5
Enter the IP address for the management interface.
The software asks for the Mgmt0 IPv4 netmask.
Step 6 Enter a network mask for the management interface.
The software asks if you need to edit the configuration.
Step 7 Enter no not to edit the configuration.
The software asks if you need to save the configuration.
Step 8
Enter yes to save the configuration.
What to do next
You can now set up the management interface for each supervisor module on the switch.

Setting Up the Management Interface

The RJ-45 and/or SFP management ports provide out-of-band management, which enables you to use the
command-line interface (CLI) to manage the switch by its IP address. You can use one of these ports depending
on the cable and connecters that you are using to connect the management interface to the network.
Before you begin
• The switch must be powered on.
• The switch must be initially configured using a console.
Step 1 Connect the management cable into the management port on the switch. For shorter connections, you can use a cable
with RJ-45 connectors. For longer connections, you can use an optical cable with SFP transceivers (LH or SX type).
Note Use only one of these management ports—the switch does not support the use of both management ports.
