Appendix C Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Connecting to a Power Source
Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• None (flow control)
Connecting to a Power Source
Follow these steps to connect to a power source:
Step 1 If you are using an AC power supply, connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power
connector on the switch rear panel, and then connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC
outlet. (See
Figure C-2 .)
Step 2 If you are using a DC power supply, see the “Connecting to DC Power” section on page 3-4 for
instructions on how to install the DC power supply.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly.
POST lasts approximately 1 minute. After POST is complete, the system and status LEDs remain green.
The power and master LEDs might also be green, depending on their functional status (see the
“LEDs”
section on page 1-4 for more information).
If the switch fails POST, the system LED turns amber. If the POST fails, see Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting,” to decide on a course of action.
Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
If you started the terminal-emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal
displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.
Entering the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch
is powered up. 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 will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program:
• Switch IP address
• Subnet mask (IP netmask)
