Cisco Systems 4840G appendix Configuring a Host Name, Using Flash PC Cards

Chapter 3 Configuring the Catalyst 4840G Processor

Configuring a Host Name

To enable Fast Ethernet client, perform the following task:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	[no] ip slb fast-ethernet client	Enable Fast Ethernet ports 37–40 for client connections.
		No: Enable Fast Ethernet ports 37–40 for server connections.
Step 2	show ip slb fast-ethernet client	Show whether Fast Ethernet ports 37–40 are enabled for client
		connections or for server connections.

Configuring a Host Name

In addition to the system passwords and enable password, your initial configuration should include the host name to make it easier to configure and troubleshoot the SLB switch. To configure the host name, perform this task:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	SLB-Switch#configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
	SLB-Switch(config)#
Step 2	SLB-Switch(config)# hostname name	Specify a system name.
Step 3	SLB-Switch(config)# end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
	SLB-Switch#
Step 4	SLB-Switch#copy system:running-config	Save your configuration changes to NVRAM.
	nvram:startup-config

Using Flash PC Cards

This section describes how to use a Flash PC card to copy system images and make standard configurations. A Flash PC card is not required for the operation of the SLB switch.

Note A Flash PC card must be ordered as a spare part. We recommend that you use a 20-MB Flash PC card to download and store a copy of the SLB switch software image. Doing so allows you to store two or more images at the same time.

Flash PC cards store a copy of the software image. The following sections describe how to format, delete, configure, and copy files between the onboard Flash memory Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM), network servers, and the Flash PC card:
