Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

When POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for some time and then returns to its operating status. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.

After you have powered all the switches in the stack, a switch is elected as the stack master. The master LED is green on the stack master switch.

If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch is powered up. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. This information is also required if you plan to use the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.

IP Settings

You will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program:

Switch IP address

Subnet mask (IP netmask)

Default gateway (router)

Enable secret password

Enable password

Telnet password

Completing the Setup Program

Note If your switches are stacked and there are multiple console connections to individual switches in the stack, the initial setup dialog appears in the first console where the user presses Enter.

Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration for the switch:

Step 1 Enter Yes at the following two prompts.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
