Cisco Systems 2940 manual Taking Out What You Need, Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

Appendix C Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Taking Out What You Need

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 by connecting the console port of the switch to the serial port on your PC or workstation and access the switch through a Telnet session. To access the switch through the console port, follow the steps in the rest of this chapter, beginning with the “Taking Out What You Need” section on page C-2.
