Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing the Switch

After the switch is mounted in the rack, you need to do these tasks to complete the installation:

Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-4.

Connect to the console port, and run the initial configuration. See the Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions.

Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-19and the “Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP+ and SFP Modules” section on page 2-20.

For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
