The following list describes the three menu options:
[M] Menus—Displays the switch’s Main Menu.♦ [I] IP Address—Available at log−on if the switch does not have a password configured.♦ [P] Console Password—Allows you to enter an unencrypted privileged−level password to
the switch management interface. This option is available at log−on only if the switch does
not have a password. The password must be at least four characters and no more than eight
characters long.

Choose selection [I] and enter an IP address that you have already predefined. Once you have
completed the IP configuration, you need to select [S] from the following menu to enter the subnet
mask for your segment:
Catalyst 1900 − IP Configuration
Ethernet Address: 00−B0−64−75−65−40
——————————— Settings ———————————————————————————————————————
[I] IP address 192.1.2.1
[S] Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
[G] Default gateway 0.0.0.0
[V] Management VLAN 1
[M] IP address of DNS server 1 0.0.0.0
[N] IP address of DNS server 2 0.0.0.0
[D] Domain name
[R] Use Routing Information Protocol Enabled
——————————— Actions ———————————————————————————————————————
[P] Ping
[C] Clear cached DNS entries
[X] Exit to previous menu
Enter Selection:
2.
Enter the Default Gateway by selecting [G]. This option will let you enter the DG information.3. By default, the management VLAN is set to VLAN1. If you selected another VLAN prior to this
configuration, you should verify that the correct management VLAN value is set.
4.
Enter the DNS information by selecting [M] to enter the primary DNS server and then selecting [N] to
enter the secondary DNS server.
5.
Select [D]. You will be prompted to enter the name of the domain into which the switch falls.6. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is enabled by default. Because all changes are in real time, you
can use one of the actions to verify connectivity. Select [P] (ping); then, if you have a client attached
to your switch, try to ping a host on that particular subnet. If you can do so, your configuration was
successful.

The 1900 and 2820 series switches use one configuration for the entire switch; the configuration isn’t port by
port as with other Catalyst series switches. Therefore, all ports will use the same configuration. When you
make a change to the Broadcast Storm Control menu it will affect all the ports on the switch. The following
shows the Broadcast Storm Control menu:
Catalyst 2820 − Broadcast Storm Control

[G] Generate alert when threshold exceeded Enabled
[T] Broadcast Threshold (BC’s received / sec) 1000
