Default Configuration
A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the S4820T system; however, the system is not
configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which
is
FTOS
). You must configure the system using the CLI.
Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data
transmissions through an individual interface. You cannot configure switching

unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode.
To configure Layer 2 mode, follow these steps:
Step Task

mode.
To view the interfaces in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport
command in EXEC mode.

names must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and must have
