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 on. 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 needed to use Cisco Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.

IP Settings

You need this information from your network administrator:

•Switch IP address

•Subnet mask (IP netmask)

•Default gateway (router)

•Enable secret password

•Enable password

•Telnet password

Configuring the Setup Program

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