Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program Completing the Setup Program When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the power-on self test (POST), a series of tests that verifies that the switch functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks green. When POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green. POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST. If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt. Note If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that shipped with your RPS. Completing the Setup Program The setup program runs automatically after the switch powers on. Have this information: • Switch IP address • Subnet mask (IP netmask) • Default gateway (router) • Enable secret password • Enable password • Telnet password Step 1 Enter Yes at these two prompts. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'. Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system. Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes Step 2 Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return. On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters. Do not use -n, where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch. Enter host name [Switch]: host_name Step 3 Enter an enable secret password, and press Return. The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted and the enable password is in plain text. Enter enable secret: secret_password OL-6337-07 Catalyst 3560 Switch Hardware Installation Guide D-3

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Completing the Setup Program
When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the power-on self test (POST), a series of tests that
verifies that the switch functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks
green. When POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains
amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal
displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press
Enter
to display the setup program prompt.
Note
If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that
shipped with your RPS.
