Assigning Setup Information
This section describes how to initially configure the switch for both out-of-band and in-band
management.
Note Press Ctrl-C at any prompt to skip the remaining configuration options and proceed with what is
configured until that point. Entering a new password for the administrator is a requirement and cannot
be skipped.
Tip If you do not wish to answer a previously configured question, or if you wish to skip answers to any
questions, press Enter. If a default answer is not available (for example, switch name), the switch uses
what was previously configured and skips to the next question.

and Step 11d in the following procedure.
