Accessing the CLI

Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup

You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then connecting a switch Ethernet port or the Ethernet management port to the Ethernet port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the Catalyst 3650 Getting Started Guide for powering on the switch and using Express Setup.

When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address

10.0.0.1.Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the “Entering the

Initial Configuration Information” section on page C-5.

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 a Console Port

You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI.
