Manually Configuring the IP Information 61
Manually
Configuring the IP
Information
You can manually configure the switch’s IP information by:
■ Connecting a workstation using a console cable to the switch’s
console port. You can then manually enter IP information using the
command line interface (CLI).
■ Connecting a workstation using an Ethernet cable to a front panel
port of the switch. You can then manually enter IP information using
the web interface or the command line interface (CLI).
Connecting to the
Console Port
To set up your switch manually, you can connect to the console port, (this
example describes a local connection to the console port, rather than one
using a modem). You can do this while the switch is offline (before you
connect the switch to a network) or while the switch is online (connected
to a network).
Prerequisites
Before configuring your switch, make sure that you have:
■ A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as
Microsoft Hyperterminal. This software allows you to communicate
with the switch using the console port directly.
■ Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software.
■ The console cable (RJ-45) supplied with your switch.
The cable’s pin-out diagrams are provided in Appendix B on page 123.
■ An IP address
■ A subnet mask
■ A default gateway
■ A management VLAN ID, normally set to the default value (1)
