2 Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:

•

Baud rate: 9600 bps

•

Data bits: 8

•

Parity: none

•

Stop bit: 1

•

Flow control: none

3 Power on the switch.

not change the default password.
The command prompt changes from > to #.

6 Configure network information.

If the unit has a service port:

•

To have the address assigned through DHCP:

By default, the port is configured as a DHCP client. If your network has a DHCP server, then you
need only to connect the switch to your network.

•

To use BootP, change the protocol by entering:

serviceport protocol bootp

•

To disable DHCP/BootP and manually assign an IPv4 address, enter:

serviceport protocol none

serviceport ip ipaddress netmask [gateway]

For example:

serviceport ip 192.168.2.23 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

•

To disable DHCP/BootP and manually assign an IPv6 address and (optionally) default gateway,
enter:

serviceport protocol none

serviceport ipv6 address ipaddress/prefix-length [eui64]

serviceport ipv6 gateway gateway

•

To view the assigned or configured network address, enter:

show serviceport

If the unit does not have a service port:

•

To use a DHCP server to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information,
enter:
