Using Your Hub Software

This chapter describes procedures for configuring the Cisco Micro Hub, and contains the 
following sections:

•

Preparing for Configuration

•

Configuring the Hub

•

Command Summary

Preparing for Configuration

To configure any Cisco Micro Hubs in a stack, the stack must include at least one 
Micro Hub 1503. You can connect to the Micro Hub 1503 to configure it in one of two 
ways:

•

Direct Connection through the CONSOLE Port

•

Connection Using Telnet

Direct Connection through the CONSOLE Port

You can configure the Micro Hub 1503, by connecting a terminal or a PC directly to the 
hub’s CONSOLE port as described in the section “Connecting the CONSOLE Port” in the 
chapter “Installing Your Hub.”
