Performing Switch Setup Configuration
How to Perform Switch Setup Configuration
Modifying the Startup Configuration
Specifying the Filename to Read and Write the System Configuration
By default, the Cisco IOS software uses the
config.text
file to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the system
configuration. However, you can specify a different filename, which will be loaded during the next boot-up cycle.
Manually Booting the Switch
By default, the switch automatically boots up; however, you can configure it to manually boot up.
Before You Begin
Use a standalone switch for this task.
5.
ip default-gateway
ip-address
Enters the IP address of the next-hop router interface that is directly
connected to the switch where a default gateway is being configured.
The default gateway receives IP packets with unresolved destination IP
addresses from the switch.
Once the default gateway is configured, the switch has connectivity to
the remote networks with which a host needs to communicate.
Note:
When your switch is configured to route with IP, it does not need to
have a default gateway set.
6.
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
7.
show interfaces vlan
vlan-id
Verifies the configured IP address.
8.
show ip redirects
Verifies the configured default gateway.
9.
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

global configuration command changes the
setting of the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
5.
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
