Initial Configuration Procedure
You can perform the initial configuration using the Easy Setup Wizard or by using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). The Setup Wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration file is empty. You can
exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z]. For more information on CLI initial configuration, see the
User's Configuration Guide. This guide shows how to use the Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration.
The wizard sets up the following configuration on the switch:
•
Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard configures one
privileged user account during the set up.
•
Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only.
•
Sets up the IP address for the management interface.
•
Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP address. You may
choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch.
•
Allows you to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP addresses.
•
Configures the default gateway IP address.
Software Installation
This section contains procedures to help you become acquainted quickly with the switch software. Before
installing switch software, you should verify that the switch operates with the most recent firmware.
