Switch Installation and Setup

Next, the switch prompts for the information necessary to make the switch accessible through your Ethernet network

Switch name

IP address

￿￿￿Subnet mask

After you enter these parameters and reboot the switch, log off the local console connection. Perform additional￿￿￿￿configuration steps over your network using a telnet connection.

Only one console connection is allowed at any time.You must exit the local terminal connection by entering the exit command. If you do not, the local terminal session remains active and you cannot reach the switch through telnet. To correct this condition, connect the local terminal to the switch and enter the exit command.

The following is an example of the initial configuration session:
