Configuring the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Module Using the Switch Setup Program

This section describes how to configure the Cisco EtherSwitch service module, using the setup program on the service module to create an initial configuration. The setup program enables the

Cisco EtherSwitch service module to run on its standard default settings.

The setup program runs automatically after the Cisco EtherSwitch service module is powered up, but does not have an existing configuration. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the Cisco EtherSwitch service module to communicate to other devices on the network. This information is also required if you plan to use the Cisco Network Assistant (hereafter referred to as Network Assistant) application software.

After you complete the setup program, the Cisco EtherSwitch service module can run the default configuration that you created. If you want to change this configuration or want to perform other management tasks, use one of these tools:

Command-line interface (CLI)

Cisco Network Assistant application program from your browser

To use the CLI, enter commands at the switch> prompt through the console session to the Cisco EtherSwitch service module. For configuration information, see the Catalyst 3750 Switch Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 12.2 at the following URL:
