Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations

Configuring the Management Port

You can configure the management port from an IP connected network. To obtain remote management access using Telnet, use the following steps:

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router> enable

Enters enable mode.

 

 

 

Router#

The # prompt indicates enable mode.

Step 2

 

 

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode. You can also

 

 

 

Router(config)#

abbreviate the command to config terminal. The

 

 

 

Router(config)# prompt indicates that you are in global

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

configuration mode.

Step 3

 

 

Router(config)# enable

Sets the enable password. See the “About Passwords”

 

 

 

password password

section on page 3-3.

Step 4

 

 

Router(config)# enable secret password

Enters an enable secret password. Once set, a user must

 

 

 

 

enter the enable secret password to gain access to global

 

 

 

 

configuration mode.

Step 5

 

 

Router(config)# interface type number

Enters interface configuration mode on the Ethernet

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can use any Fast Ethernet interface 1-48 or any

 

 

 

 

Gigabit Ethernet interface 49-50 on the

 

 

 

 

Catalyst 2948G-L3 or any Gigabit Ethernet interface 1-8

 

 

 

 

on the Catalyst 4908G-L3 to configure the management

 

 

 

 

port.

Step 6

 

 

Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address

Enters the IP address and IP subnet mask for the interface

 

 

 

subnetmask

specified in Step 5.

Step 7

 

 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface.

Step 8

 

 

Router(config-if)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

 

 

Router(config)#

 

 

Step 9

 

 

Router(config)# line vty line-number

Enters line configuration mode for virtual terminal

 

 

 

Router(config-line)#

connections. Commands entered in this mode control the

 

 

 

operation of Telnet sessions to the switch router.

 

 

 

 

Step 10

 

 

Router(config-line)# password password

Enters a password for Telnet sessions.

Step 11

 

 

Router(config-line)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

 

 

 

Router#

 

 

Step 12

 

 

Router# copy running-config

Saves your configuration changes to NVRAM.

 

 

 

startup-config

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

Any Fast Ethernet interface 1-48 and any Gigabit Ethernet interface 49-50 on the

 

 

 

Catalyst 2948G-L3 switch router, or any Gigabit Ethernet interface 1-8 on the

 

 

 

Catalyst 4908G-L3 switch router, can be configured as a management port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your switch router should now be operating correctly. You can now use Telnet to remotely assign and verify configurations.
