Configuring the Switch with the CLI Setup
Program
This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI) setup procedure for a standalone switch. To set up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Getting Started Guide. Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”
Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port
You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Use one of these options to access the CLI:
- RJ-45 Console Port - USB Mini-Type B Console Port
RJ-45 Console Port
Step 1 Connect the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the switch console port. Step 2 Start the terminal-emulation program on the PC or the terminal. The program, frequently a PC application such as HyperTerminal or ProcommPlus, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Step 4 When the Remove the Program window appears, click Remove.
Note If a User Account Control warning appears, click Allow - I trust this program to proceed.
Step 5 When the InstallShield Wizard Completed window appears, click Finish.
Entering the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch powers on. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet.
IP Settings
You need this information:
- Switch IP address - Subnet mask (IP netmask) - Default gateway (router) - Enable secret password - Enable password - Telnet password
Completing the Setup Program
Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration for the switch:
Step 1 Enter Yes at these two prompts. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system.
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes
Step 2 Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return. On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters and on a member switch to 31 characters. Do not use -n , where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch. Enter host name [Switch]: host_name

Step 3 Enter an enable secret password, and press Return. The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted, and the enable password is in plain text. Enter enable secret: secret_password
Step 4 Enter an enable password, and press Return. Enter enable password: enable_password
Step 5 Enter a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return. The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. Enter virtual terminal password: terminal-password
Step 6 (Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts. You can also configure SNMP later through the CLI. To configure SNMP later, enter no. Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no
Step 7 Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the management network, and press Return. For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface. Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: vlan
Step 8 Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return. The IP address and subnet masks shown below are examples. Configuring interface vlan1: Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes IP address for this interface: 10.4.120. Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.
Step 9 Enter Y to configure the switch as the cluster command switch. Enter N to configure it as a member switch or as a standalone switch. If you enter N , you can configure the switch as a command switch later through the CLI. To configure it later, enter no. Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? [yes/no]: no
You have completed the initial configuration of the switch, and the switch displays its configuration. This is an example of the configuration output: The following configuration command script was created: hostname switch enable secret 5 $1$Ulq8$DlA/OiaEbl90WcBPd9cOn enable password enable_password line vty 0 15 password terminal-password no snmp-server ! no ip routing
! interface Vlan no shutdown ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0. ! interface FastEthernet1/0/
