Installing the Switch

Figure 3-6

Installing the Switch On a Wall

 

After the switch is mounted on the wall, do these tasks to complete the installation:

1.

Power on the switch. See the 

“Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 3-5

.

2.

Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the switch getting started guide 
for instructions.

3.

Connect to the front-panel ports. See the 

“Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section 

on page 2-14

, the 

“Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-18

, and the 

“Connecting to a 

Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 2-20

 to complete the installation.

For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to 

Appendix C, “Configuring the 

Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
