	At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
	Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
	Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

	to configure each interface on the system.
	Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes
Step 2	Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return.
	On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters.
	Do not use -n, where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch.
	Enter host name [Switch]: host_name
Step 3	Enter an enable secret password, and press Return.
	The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive,
	allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted and the enable password is
	in plain text.

	can also configure SNMP later through the CLI, the device manager, or the Network Assistant
	application. To configure SNMP later, enter no.
	Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no
Step 7	Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the
	management network, and press Return. For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface.

	management network from the above interface summary: vlan1
Step 8	Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return. The IP
	address and subnet masks shown below are examples.
	Configuring interface vlan1:
	Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes
	IP address for this interface: 10.4.120.106
