Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based

Setup Program

This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch. For product overview information, see Chapter 1, “Product Overview.” Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.” For installation procedures on rack-mounting your switch, connecting to the switch ports, or connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”

These steps describe how to do a simple installation:

1.Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port, page D-1

2.Taking Out What You Need, page D-2

3.Connecting to the Console Port, page D-3

4.Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software, page D-4

5.Connecting to a Power Source, page D-5

6.Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page D-5

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to the serial port on your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a Telnet session.

To access the switch through the console port, follow these steps:

“Taking Out What You Need” section on page D-2.

“Connecting to the Console Port” section on page D-3

“Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software” section on page D-4

“Connecting to a Power Source” section on page D-5
