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 information about setting up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Cisco IE 3000 Switch Getting Started Guide. Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, "Switch Installation." For installation procedures for mounting your switch, connecting to the switch ports, or connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, "Switch Installation." Accessing the CLI from the Console Port You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation program. To connect to the console port, follow these steps: 1. Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the switch front panel (Figure 1-1) and to the PC or terminal port. 2. Start the terminal-emulation program on the PC or terminal. The terminal-emulation software, frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible. 3. Start a terminal-emulation session. 4. Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics: - 9600 bits per second - 8 data bits - 1 stop bit - No parity - None (flow control) 5. Power on the switch as described in the switch getting started guide and in the "Verifying Switch Operation" section on page 2-11. OL-13017-01 Cisco IE 3000 Switch Hardware Installation Guide D-1
