Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based

Setup Program

This appendix provides a CLI-based setup procedure for a Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E standalone switch or a switch stack. Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”

Accessing the CLI

For an unconfigured switch, you can access the CLI through Express Setup or through the console port.

Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup

You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then connecting a switch Ethernet port or the Ethernet management port to the Ethernet port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the getting started guide for powering on the switch and using Express Setup.

When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address 10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the “Entering the Initial Configuration Information” section on page C-2.

After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using the write memory privileged EXEC command.

Note While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the switch until you enter the write memory command. You lose the Telnet connection after entering the write memory command.

For more information about using the CLI, see the command reference for this release.

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation program.
