You have now completed the initial configuration of the switch, so you can now configure other
interfaces and features over a network connection without having to directly connect to the console port
of the supervisor engine.
To use the CLI to perform additional configuration or management tasks, enter commands at the
Switch> prompt through the console port by using a terminal program or through the network by using
Telnet. For configuration information, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch
command reference.
