4 Managing the Switch through the CLI
After you install the switch in your network, you can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the
CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch console port or through a Telnet session from a remote PC or
workstation.
Other Management Options
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution (SNMS) and
HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it froman SNMP-compatible workstation that is
running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.
Step9 Enter N when the prompt asks if you want to
enable the switch as a cluster command switch.
This switch will be a standalone switch that
does not support clustering.
Would you like to enable as a cluster
command switch? [yes/no]: no
The switch displays its initial configuration, as
shown on the right.
The following configuration command script was created:
hostname switch1

Step1 0 These choices appear:
[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.
[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.
[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.
If you want to save the configuration and use it the next time the switch reboots, save it in NVRAM
by selecting option 2.
Enter your selection [2]:2
Make your selection, and press Return.
Step1 1 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your network. See the “Managing the Switch through
the CLI” section on page 8 for information about configuring and managing the switch.
If you need to rerun the initial configuration dialog, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 13.
