Setting IP parameters for the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
Series
After a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series switch starts up and
initializes all software modules, it begins switching operations.
To manage the switch using Telnet or SNMP, or to perform TFTP operations,
you must set certain IP parameters. Also, if you intend to connect the switch
to a stack configuration, you must assign additional parameters to ensure
proper stack operation.
For more information about the QuickStart and switch configuration, see the
system configuration guide listed in
"Related publications" (page 12)
.
You must configure the following IP parameters for initial switch setup:
•
IP address of the switch or stack
•
subnet mask
