For more information on CLI initial configuration see the User Guide . This Getting Started Guide
shows how to use the Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. The wizard sets up the following
configuration on the switch:
• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard configures
one privileged user account during the setup.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only.
• Sets up the IP address for the management VLAN.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP address.
You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch.
• Allows you to specify the management server IP or permit management access from all IP
addresses.
• Configures the default gateway IP address.
Example Session
This section describes an Easy Setup Wizard session. The following values are used by the example
session:
• The SNMP community string to be used is
public
• The network management system IP address is 192.168.2.1 .
• The user name is
admin , and password is admin123 .
• The IP address for the management VLAN is
192.168.2.1:255.255.255.0 .
• The default gateway is
0.0.0.0 .
The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After you complete the wizard, the
switch is configured as follows:
• SNMPv1/2c is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above. SNMPv3 is
disabled by default.
• The admin user account is set up as defined.
• A network management system is configured. From this management station, you can access
the SNMP, HTTP, and CLI interfaces. You may also choose to allow all IP addresses to access
these management interfaces by choosing the (0.0.0.0) IP address.
• An IP address is configured for the default management VLAN (1).
• A default gateway address is configured.
NOTE: In the example below, the possible user options are enclosed in [ ]. Also, where possible, the
default value is provided in { }. If you press <Enter> with no options defined, the default value is accepted.
Help text is in parentheses.
