Configure System for Management
Your system is shipped from the factory with IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
9bridging disabled. To configure system features for your particular networking environment, you must first establish management access.
Initially, you can only manage your system locally through a direct terminal connection to the terminal serial port. You use this interface to configure additional access mechanisms, as shown in Table 5.
For more information on access mechanisms, see chapter on “Quick Setup for Management Access” in the Getting Started Guide.
