Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program Connecting to a Power Source Connecting to a Power Source This section has instructions for connecting the switch to AC power. For instructions about connecting the Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC or Catalyst 2950ST-24 LRE 997 switch to DC power, see Appendix C, "Connecting to DC Power." For a switch other than a Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC or a Catalyst 2950ST-24 LRE 997 switch, follow these steps to connect to an AC power source: Step 1 Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on the switch rear panel. Note For an LRE switch, connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on the switch front panel. Figure D-2 shows how to connect the AC power cord to the connector on the switch rear panel. Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet. Note If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that shipped with your RPS. When the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. If POST fails, see Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting," to determine a course of action. Entering the Initial Configuration Information To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch is powered on. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. This information is also required if you plan to use the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch. IP Settings You will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program: • Switch IP address • Subnet mask (IP netmask) • Default gateway (router) • Enable secret password • Enable password • Telnet password OL-6156-01 Catalyst 2950 Switch Hardware Installation Guide D-5

Appendix D
Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Connecting to a Power Source
Connecting to a Power Source
This section has instructions for connecting the switch to AC power. For instructions about connecting
the Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC or Catalyst 2950ST-24 LRE 997 switch to DC power, see
Appendix C,
“
Connecting to DC Power.
”
For a switch other than a Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC or a Catalyst 2950ST-24 LRE 997 switch, follow
these steps to connect to an AC power source:
Step 1
Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on the switch rear panel.
Note
For an LRE switch, connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on
the switch front panel.
Figure D-2
shows how to connect the AC power cord to the connector on the switch rear panel.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Note
If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that
shipped with your RPS.
When the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that
the switch functions properly. If POST fails, see
Chapter 3,
“
Troubleshooting,
”
to determine a course of
action.
Entering the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch
is powered on. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the
switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. This information is also required if you
plan to use the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.
IP Settings
You will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program:
•
Switch IP address
•
Subnet mask (IP netmask)
•
Default gateway (router)
•
Enable secret password
•
Enable password
•
Telnet password
