Initial Configuration of the Switch Configuration Overview When a switch is initially connected to a network, the network does not recognize it and does not know its IP address. Accessing the switch and entering the Ethernet and SNMP settings assigns the switch a location and makes it available to the network. After the switch is accessible, additional parameters must be entered. These secondary configuration tasks can be performed from four different user interfaces, including the text-b

Initial Configuration of the Switch Using the Text-based UI to Configure the Switch The text-based UI of the switch is available directly through the serial port in the front of the switch. After the Ethernet settings are entered, the text-based UI can be accessed remotely through the switch’s Ethernet interface using telnet. With the following exceptions, all functions of the menu interface are available either directly or through telnet. • The telnet interface is available only after th
