Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing the Switch

Table- or Shelf-Mounting

To install the switch on a table or shelf, locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. Attach the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the chassis (see Figure 2-14).

When you complete the switch installation, see the “After Installing the Switch” section on page 2-16for more information switch configuration.

After Installing the Switch

After the switch is installed, you might need to:

Configure the switch by running Express Setup to enter the initial switch configuration. For instructions, see the switch getting started guide that shipped with the switch and also on Cisco.com.

Use the CLI setup program to enter the initial switch configuration. See Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Installing a Network Module in the Switch” section on page 3-4and the “Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports” section on page 2-19.
