This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI) setup procedure for a standalone switch. To set
up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Cisco IE 3010 Switch Getting Started Guide. Before
connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch Installation,”
and Chapter 3, “Power Supply Installation.”

You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Use one of these options to access
the CLI:
