Configuring the Switch 59
Configuring the Switch
This section describes the initial device configuration.
After completing all external connections, you must connect a terminal to the device to monitor
the boot and other procedures. The order of installation and configuration procedures is illustrated
in Figure 5-1. For the initial configuration, the standard device configuration is performed. You can
perform other functions, but doing so suspends the installation process and causes a system reboot.
Performing other functions is described later in this section.
