Appendix C Initial Configuration for the Switch

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

Step 4 Enter the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch (config)#

Step 5 Configure the system prompt and host name for the switch, and press Return. To remove the new prompt and return the prompt to its default, use the no hostname command.

Switch (config)# hostname Switch1

Step 6 Use the banner motd global configuration command to set location information in the login banner. You can also set a system contact using this command.

Switch1(config)# banner motd c 170 West Tasman Drive, San Jose, CA c

or

Switch1 (config)# banner motd c 170 West Tasman Drive, San Jose, CA; Tech Support 408 123 4567 c

Step 7 Configure an enable secret password, and press Return.

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted and the enable password is in plain text.

Switch1 (config)# enable secret SecretPassword

Step 8 Configure an enable password, and press Return.

Switch1 (config)# enable password EnablePassword

Step 9 Configure a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return.

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces.

Switch1 (config)# password terminal-password

Switch1 (config)# line vty 0 15

Step 10 Configure the interface that connects to the management network. (The IP address and subnet mask shown are for example only. Use an address appropriate for your network.)

Switch1 (config)# ip routing

Switch1 (config)# interface gigabitethernet 3/24

Switch1 (config-if)# no switchport

Switch1 (config-if)# no shutdown

Switch1 (config-if)#ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0

Switch1 (config-if)# exit

Step 11 Exit from global configuration mode:

Switch (config)# exit

Switch #

Step 12 View the configuration you just created and confirm that it is what you want.

Switch1# show run
