Configuring the Switch Using the Web User Interface

Setting up the Switch

After you complete the hardware installation, you need to setup the switch with configuration required to
enable traffic to pass through the network. On your first day with your new device, you can perform a number
of tasks to ensure that your device is online, reachable and easily configured.
The Web User Interface (Web UI) is an embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides the
ability to provision the device, to simplify device deployment and manageability, and to enhance the user
experience. It comes with the default image, so there is no need to enable anything or install any license on
the device. You can use WebUI to build configurations, and to monitor and troubleshoot the device without
having CLI expertise.

Connecting to the Switch

Before you begin
The bootup script runs the configuration wizard, which prompts you for basic configuration input: (Would
you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: ). To configure Day0 settings using the Web
UI, do not enter a response. Perform the following tasks instead:
Procedure
Step 1 Make sure that no devices are connected to the switch
Step 2
Connect one end of an ethernet cable to one of the uplink (non-management) ports on the active supervisor
and the other end of the ethernet cable to the host (PC).
Step 3 Set up your PC as a DHCP client, to obtain the IP address of the switch automatically.
