You have now completed the initial configuration of the switch, so you may now configure other
interfaces and features over a network connection without having to directly connect to the console port
of the supervisor engine.
To use the CLI to perform additional configuration or management tasks, enter comma nds at the Switch>
prompt through the console port by using a terminal program or through the network by using Telnet.
For configuration information, refer to the switch software configuration guide or the switch command
reference.
