D A P P E N D I X Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch. For product overview information, see Chapter 1, "Overview." Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, "Installation." For installation procedures on rack-mounting your switch, connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter (GBIC) modules, or connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, "Installation." These steps describe how to do a simple installation: 1. Accessing the CLI, page D-1 2. Taking Out What You Need, page D-3 3. Connecting to the Console Port, page D-3 4. Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software, page D-4 5. Connecting to a Power Source, page D-5 6. Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page D-5 Accessing the CLI For an unconfigured switch, you can access the CLI through Express Setup or through the console port. Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup Express Setup is supported on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 or later. If you are installing an unconfigured switch, see the Cisco IOS release label on the rear panel of the switch to determine the release. Note For switches running releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1, go to the "Taking Out What You Need" section on page D-3. You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then by connecting a switch Ethernet port to the Ethernet port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the getting started guide for powering on the switch and using Express Setup.
