7000 Series Managed Switch Software Installation This section contains procedures to help you become acquainted quickly with the switch software. Before installing switch software, you should verify that the switch operates with the most recent firmware. Quick-Starting the Networking Device 1. Configure the switch for in-band or out-of-band connectivity. In-band connectivity allows access to the software locally or from a remote workstation. You must configure the device with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway). 2. Turn the power on. 3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt displays. The initial state of the device is called the default mode. 4. When the prompt asks for operator login, perform the following steps: • Type admin at the login prompt. Since a number of the Quick Start commands require administrator account rights, log in to an administrator account. • Do not enter a password because the default mode does not use a password. • Check that the CLI User EXEC prompt is displayed. • Enter enable to switch to the Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC. • Enter configure to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC. • Enter exit to return to the previous mode. • Enter ? to show a list of commands that are available in the current mode. System Information and System Setup This section describes the commands you use to view system information and to set up the network device.
