Configuration
To run the quickstart command:
1. Attach a PC to the DWS-1008 switch’s serial console port. Use the following modem
settings: 9600 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity, hardware flow control disabled.
2. Press
Enter
three times, to display a username prompt (
Username:
), a password prompt
(
Password:
), and then a command prompt such as the following:
DWS-1008-aabbcc>
Each switch has a unique system name that contains the model number and the last half of
the switch’s MAC address.
3. Access the enabled level (the configuration level) of the CLI:
DWS-1008-aabbcc>
enable
4. Press
Enter
at the Enter password prompt.
5. Type
quickstart
. The command asks you a series of questions. You can type
?
for more
help. To quit, press
Ctrl+C
.
One of the questions the script asks is the country code. For a list of valid country codes,
refer to the section “Appendix: Country of Operation”.
Another question the script asks is, “Do you wish to configure wireless?” If you answer
y
,
the script goes on to ask you for SSID and user information, for unencrypted and encrypted
SSIDs. If you answer
n
, the script generates key pairs for SSH and the administrative users
you entered, generates a self-signed administrative certificate, and then ends.
Quickstart Example
This example configures the following parameters:
• System name: DWS-1008-Corp
• Country code (regulatory domain): US
• System IP address: 10.10.10.4, on IP interface 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.0
Note:
The quickstart script asks for an IP address and subnet mask for the system IP address,
and converts the input into an IP interface with a subnet mask, and a system IP address that
uses that interface. Likewise, if you configure this information manually instead of using the
quickstart command, you must configure the interface and system IP address separately.
• Default route: 10.10.10.1
