4 At the Select menu option prompt you can either:
■ enter the protocol ip basicConfig command. At the Enter
configuration method prompt enter manual. The screen
prompts you to enter IP information.
or
■ enter the gettingStarted command. At the Enter
configuration method prompt enter manual. The screen
prompts you to enter IP information.
5 Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address for the Switch.
The screen displays a summary of the information entered.
If using the gettingStarted command you will then be prompted to
enter system information, change passwords, and then given the option
to carry out advanced configuration.
The initial set up of your Switch is now complete and the Switch is ready
for you to set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of
Managing a Switch” on page 49.
Connecting to the
Console Port
To set up your Switch manually you can alternatively make a connection
to the console port (this example describes a local connection to the
console port, rather than a remote one via a modem). You can do this
whilst the Switch is offline, that is, before you connect the Switch to a
network, or whilst the Switch is online, that is, connected to a network.
