Before you run Express Setup, you must set up your switch module to communicate with a
Hyperterminal program.
Note
The initial configuration assumes that the switch module was never configured, that it is in
the same state as when it was received, and that it is not configured with a default username
and password.
Note
To set up the switch module by using the command-line interface (CLI), see the switch module
hardware installation guide on cisco.com.
Information You Need to Run Express Setup
You need this information about your switch module from your system administrator before you
complete the setup program:
•
Fixed IP address
•
Subnet mask (IP netmask)
•
Default gateway IP address
You can also configure these optional parameters through the Express Setup program:
•
Local access password
•
Telnet access password
•
Names of the SNMP read and write community strings if you are going to use a
network-management program like CiscoWorks.
•
Host name, system contact, and system location
When you first set up the switch module, you can use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information.
Doing this enables the switch module to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access
the switch module through the IP address for further configuration.
