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

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

Step 10 Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return. The IP address and subnet masks shown are examples.

Configuring interface vlan1:

Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes

IP address for this interface: 10.4.120.106

Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.0

You have completed the initial configuration of the switch, and the switch displays its configuration. This is an example of the configuration output:

The following configuration command script was created: hostname switch1

enable secret 5 $1$Ulq8$DlA/OiaEbl90WcBPd9cOn1 enable password enable_password

line vty 0 15

password terminal-password no snmp-server

!

no ip routing

!

interface Vlan1 no shutdown

ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0

!

interface GigabitEthernet4/0/1

!

interface GigabitEthernet4/0/2

interface GigabitEthernet4/0/3

!

...<output abbreviated>

!

!

end

Step 11 These choices appear:

[0]Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.

[1]Return back to the setup without saving this config.

[2]Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

If you want to save the configuration and use it the next time the switch reboots, select option 2 to save it in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

Enter your selection [2]:2

Make your selection, and press Return.

After you complete the setup program, the switch can run the default configuration that you created. To change this configuration or to perform other management tasks, enter commands at the Switch> prompt or use Cisco Network Assistant, or another management tool for further configuration.
