Step 5 Click Finish to complete the installation.

See the Configuration Professional Getting Started Guide and online help for more information.

Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) and Cisco netManager to configure and manage the switch module. You also can manage the switch module from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as Cisco netManager or SunNet Manager.

The Cisco Configuration Engine is a network management device that works with embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) agents in the switch software. You can use it to automate initial configurations and configuration updates on the switch.

Accessing the Switch Module

Note The Cisco CGR 2010 router must be running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M or higher to run the switch module.

After the Ethernet switch module is installed on the router, you see a new Gigabit Ethernet interface 0/x/0 (where x is the slot number) recognized by the Cisco IOS. The output shown in Table 6 is taken after two Ethernet switch modules are installed on the router:
