Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based
Setup Program
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) setup procedure for a standalone switch. To use Express
Setup, see the Cisco CGS 2360 Getting Started Guide. Before connecting the switch to a power source,
review the safety warnings in
Module Installation."
Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup
You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch. Set the switch in Express Setup mode, and connect
an Ethernet port to an Ethernet port on your PC or workstation. Follow the steps in the getting started
guide to turn on the switch and to use Express Setup.
When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address
10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the
section on page C-6
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using
the write memory privileged EXEC command.
In Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 stays active until you enter the write memory command.
Note
You lose the Telnet connection after entering the write memory command.
For information about using the CLI, see the switch command reference for this release.
