Connect Switch to the Network
Caution

Disconnect Optical Ports from the Network

When you need to remove fiber-optic transceivers, you must first remove the fiber-optic cables from the
transceiver before you remove the transceiver from the port.

Maintain Transceivers and Optical Cables

Refer to
processes for fiber optic connections.

Create the Initial Switch Configuration

You must assign an IP address to the switch management interface to connect the switch to the network.
When you initially power up the switch, it boots up and asks a series of configuration-related questions. You
can use the default choices for each configuration except for the IP address, which you must provide.
When the system is powered on and the console port is connected to the terminal, the RP CPU messages are
seen. You can see RP CPU messages by pressing the hot-key sequence Ctrl-O.
Before you begin
• A console device must be connected with the switch.
• The switch must be connected to a power source.
• Determine the IP address and netmask that is needed for the Management interfaces:
Procedure
Step 1
Power up the switch.
The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the switch,
and the software asks you to specify a password to use with the switch.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, a new username and a password is to be created. The following
prompt appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system
username. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert transceivers any
more than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect cables before installing or removing
transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.
