Usage Guidelines
When you use the
setup
command, make sure that you have this information:
•
IP address and network mask
•
Password strategy for your environment
•
Whether the switch will be used as the cluster command switch and the cluster name
When you enter the
setup
command, an interactive dialog, called the System Configuration Dialog,
appears. It guides you through the configuration process and prompts you for information. The values
shown in brackets next to each prompt are the default values last set by using either the
setup
command
facility or the
configure
privileged EXEC command.
Help text is provided for each prompt. To access help text, press the question mark (
?
) key at a prompt.
To return to the privileged EXEC prompt without making changes and without running through the entire
System Configuration Dialog, press
Ctrl-C
.
When you complete your changes, the setup program shows you the configuration command script that
was created during the setup session. You can save the configuration in NVRAM or return to the setup
program or the command-line prompt without saving it.
