Where to Go Next
Where to Go Next
After you complete the setup program, the switch can run the default configuration that you created. 
• For product overview information, see Chapter 1, “Overview.” 
• For detailed installation procedures on mounting your switch on or under a desk or on a wall, or 
connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, “Installation.” To 
complete this setup procedure, your PC must not be configured with a fixed IP address.
If you want to change the configuration or want to perform other management tasks, use one of 
these tools:
• CLI
• Device manager from your browser (for one switch)
• Network Assistant (for one or more switches)
To use the CLI, enter commands at the Switch> prompt through the console port by using a 
terminal-emulation program or through the network by using a telnet session. For configuration 
information, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
To use the Network Assistant, see the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide.
