Configuring the Switch

Using the Device Manager to Configure the Switch

Follow these steps to set up the switch through the device manager. In a browser window, enter the
IP address that the Fa0 port assigned to the switch. Before you complete the setup program, obtain the
default gateway IP address and the switch password from your system administrator. You can configure
these optional parameters through the Express Setup program:

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

System time, time zone, Daylight Savings Time enable

Step 1

On the left side of the device manager GUI, choose Configuration > Express Setup.

The Express Setup page appears (see

Figure 2-5

and

Figure 2-6

). (Close or minimize the device manager

Help window.)

alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces,
but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end.
