Installing the BayStack Switches

Initial Setup of a BayStack Ethernet Switch

In most cases, the BayStack 303 and 304 Ethernet Switches can be installed and made operational using the system default settings.

Minimal configuration is required when you plan on remote management or TFTP operations. In that case, you need to enter the IP address of the switch, the subnet mask, and the gateway address. Refer to Chapter 3, “Customizing and Managing the BayStack Switches,” for more information about configuring your BayStack 303 or 304 switch.

Using Factory Default Settings

When you turn on power to the switch, it begins operation using the factory default settings for configuration parameters. Table 2-1 lists default values for the parameters.
