Using the Console Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for manage-
ment and password protection in your network is to use a direct console
connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup
screen.

Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI)
prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number:
SMC TigerSwitch 10/100#
2.
At the prompt, enter the
setup
command to display the Switch Setup
screen. The following illustration shows the Setup screen with the default
settings.
3.
Use the Tab key to select the
Manager Password
field and enter a manager
password of up to 16 characters.
4.
Tab to the
IP Config (DHCP/Bootp)
field and use the Space bar to select the
Manual
option.
5.
Tab to the
IP Address
field and enter the IP address that is compatible with
your network.

Tab to the Subnet Mask field and enter the subnet mask used for your
network.
