Chapter 2
Getting Started
Connect a terminal to the switch to begin configuration.
In-band and Out-of-band Connectivity
Ask the system administrator to determine whether you will configure the switch for in-band or
out-of-band connectivity.
Configuring for In-band Connectivity
In-band connectivity allows you to access the switch from a remote workstation using the Ethernet
network. To use in-band connectivity, you must configure the switch with IP information (IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
Configure for In-band connectivity using one of the following methods:
BootP or DHCP
EIA-232 port
Using BootP or DHCP
You can assign IP information initially over the network or over the Ethernet service port through
BootP or DHCP. Check with your system administrator to determine whether BootP or DHCP is
enabled.
You need to configure the BootP or DHCP server with information about the switch—obtain this
information through the serial port connection using the
show network
command. Set up the
server with the following values:
IP Address
Unique IP address for the switch. Each IP parameter is made up of
four decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP
parameters is zeroes (0.0.0.0).
Subnet
Subnet mask for the LAN
gateway
IP address of the default router, if the switch is a node outside the IP
range of the LAN
