CHAPTER 7
Configuring the Switch with the CLI Setup
Program
This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI) setup procedure for a standalone switch. Before
connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Warnings and Installation Guidelines.
This chapter contains the following sections.
• Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup, on page 65
• Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port, on page 70
• Entering the Initial Configuration Information, on page 73
Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup
When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This process
enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch through the IP
address for additional configuration.
Required Equipment
You need this equipment to set up the switch:
• Computer with Windows 2000/Vista/2003/XP/Window7/Mac.
• A Web browser (IE, Firefox) with JavaScript enabled.
• A straight-through or crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the switch port.
Do not use the RS232 serial console port for express setup.
Note
• A small paper clip to reach to button.
Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on your browser and any wireless
client running on your computer.
