Chapter 1 Using Express Setup
Configuring the Switch Settings
Follow these steps to configure your switch with Express Setup:
Step 1
Contact your system administrator and obtain the IP address, the IP subnet mask,
and the default gateway for your switch.
Step 2
Enter the IP address of the switch in the IP Address field.
Step 3 Click the drop-down arrow in the IP Subnet Mask field, and select an IP Subnet
Mask .
Step 4
Enter the IP address for the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.
A gateway (router or dedicated network device) is a system that connects a
network on one subnet to one or more networks on a different subnet.
Note
You must specify a default gateway if the management workstation and the switch
are on different IP segments.
Step 5 Enter your password in the Switch Password field.
The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a
number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow embedded
spaces at the beginning or end.
Step 6
Enter your password again in the Confirm Switch Password field.
You do not enter a username for the switch. After the switch is configured with an
IP address, you can use CMS to configure a username.
Step 7
(Optional) Enter a host name for the switch in the Host Name field. The host
name is limited to 31 characters; embedded spaces are not allowed.
Step 8
(Optional) Enter the name of your system contact in the System Contact field.
This identifies the system administrator for the switch or network.
Step 9 (Optional) Enter your system location in the System Location field. This
identifies the physical location of the switch.
