By default the switch is shipped from the factory with a default IP address of DHCP in order for
Auto Config to be used, but the Easy Setup Wizard provides the opportunity to customize the
IP address. If the user desires to use Auto Config to configure the switch, do not use the Easy
Setup Wizard. The system is also set up with default management VLAN ID=1. The initial
activation must be done using the serial interface.
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 setup. The user may return to add users later. The
initial account is given the highest privilege level (level 15).
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only, which allows
user account access via these management interfaces. The user may return later to configure
Radius or TACACS+.
• Sets up the IP address for the management VLAN or enables support for DHCP to configure
the management IP address dynamically.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager. The user may choose
to skip this step if SNMP management is not used. If it is configured, the default access level
is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface. The user may
return later to add to the community string or reconfigure the access level of the community
string. Initially only SNMPv1/2c will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until the user returns
to configure security access for SNMPv3 (for example, engine ID, view, and so on). The
SNMP community string may include spaces. The wizard requires the use of quotation marks
when the user wants to enter spaces in the community string. Although spaces are allowed in
the community string, their use is discouraged. The default community string contains no
spaces.
• Allows the user to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP
addresses.
• Sets up the default gateway IP address.
• Allows the user to start the switch in simple mode.
If the user chooses not to use the wizard initially, the session defaults to the CLI mode with a
warning to refer to the documentation. During a subsequent login, the user may again elect not
to run the setup wizard. Once the wizard has established configuration, however, the wizard is
presented only if the user resets the switch to the factory default settings. While the wizard is
running, the system does not display any unsolicited or unrelated status messages. For example,
the system does not display event notification or system status messages.
After completing the wizard, the user is given a chance to save his configuration and continue to
the CLI. If the user chooses to discard his configuration, any restart of the wizard must be from
the beginning. When the user chooses to restart the wizard, any configuration the user saved
previously automatically is offered for the user to accept. The user may elect to correct only a
few items instead of re-entering all the data.
