Initial Configuration Configuration Overview After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before rebooting. To save the configuration, enter the following CLI command: Console# copy running-config startup-config Initial Configuration Initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully, includes static IP address and subnet mask configuration, and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote management. If the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured. The following configurations are completed: • Static IP Address and Subnet Mask • Static Route Configuration • User Name • SNMP Community strings Static IP Address and Subnet Mask IP interfaces can be configured on each port of the device. After entering the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the "show ip interface" command. The commands to configure the device are port specific. To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be configured, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces. To use the ip route command, the device mode must be changed from switch to router. To configure a static route, enter the command at the system prompt as shown in the following configuration example where 101.101.101.101 is the specific management station, and 5.1.1.100 is the static route: Console# configure Console(config)# interface vlan 1 Console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 Console(config-if)# exit Console# ip route 192.168.2.0/24 100.1.1.33 Note 100.1.1.33 is the IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach the management network 192.168.2.0. Console# show ip interface Proxy ARP is disabled IP Address I/F Type ----------100.1.1.1/24 -------vlan 1 ----------static Directed Broadcast disable The above example is for router mode. Page 35
