Set Up the Switch for the First Time
Prerequisite
To set up the switch for the first time, follow the procedure described in the
Getting Started Guide for the Catalyst Express 500 Switches.
These are the configuration settings that you can set during initial setup:
•
Network Settings, page 2-2
• Optional Settings, page 2-5
Network Settings
The network settings enable the switch to operate with its standard default settings
and to be managed through the device manager. You must apply these settings to
access and to take advantage of the monitoring, troubleshooting, and
configuration features on the switch. Otherwise, the switch cannot be managed,
and switch monitoring is limited to only its physical LEDs.
Management
Interface (VLAN ID) The ID of the management VLAN through which the switch will be managed.
The management VLAN ID can be from 1 to 1001. The default ID is 1. The
default name for the management VLAN is default.
Note Make sure that the switch and your network management station are in
the same VLAN. Otherwise, you cannot manage the switch from your
management station. If they are in different VLANs, a router or
Layer 3 switch is needed to communicate between VLANs.
The management VLAN is the broadcast domain where management traffic is
sent between specific users or devices. It provides broadcast control and
security for management traffic that should only be limited to a specific group
of users (such as the administrators of your network). It also ensures secure,
administrative access to all devices in the network at all times.
For more information about management VLANs and about VLANs in
general, see the
“VLAN Types” section on page 3-14 .
