Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Configuring the Switch
Step 4 Redirect the CMC console to the switch internal serial console interface. Enter this command at the CMC
command prompt:
connect switch-N
where N is the chassis I/O module bay number in which the switch is inserted.
To return to the command prompt, press this key sequence:
Enter Ctrl \ (Press Enter, and press the Control key and the backslash key together.)
Step 5 Go to the “Waiting for POST to Complete” section on page 2-10 to finish configuring the switch.
Waiting for POST to Complete
Follow these steps to verify that POST completes successfully:
Step 1 Wait for the switch to complete the POST. During POST, the LEDs blink while tests verify that the
switch functions properly. Wait for the switch to complete POST, which can take several minutes.
Step 2 Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED remains green. If the switch fails
POST, the SYST LED turns amber. See
Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 for the location of the SYST LED.
POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Customer Support immediately if your switch fails POST.
Step 3 Wait for the switch to complete flash initialization. When you see the prompt Press Return to Get
Started! , press Return or Enter.
If you do not see the prompt Press Return to Get Started! , be sure that you have set the baud rate
on the terminal to 9600 baud.
Step 4 Make sure that the System Status/ID LED on the switch is off. This means that the switch is operating
properly.
Step 5 See the “Completing the Initial Configuration” section on page 2-10 for instructions on setting up and
initially configuring the switch.
Step 6 If the switch obtains an IP address through the Fa0 port, you can use the device manager to configure
the switch. See the
“Using the Device Manager to Configure the Switch” section on page 2-13 .
Completing the Initial Configuration
Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration for the switch.
For information about automatically configuring the switch, see the “Assigning the Switch IP Address
and Default Gateway” chapter in the switch configuration guide on Cisco.com.
Step 1 After you have pressed Enter or Return after the prompt to start the initial configuration setup program,
enter yes at these prompts:
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: yes
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
