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.
