Getting Started
Connect a terminal to the switch to begin configuration.
In-Band and Out-of-Band Connectivity
Ask the system administrator to determine whether you will configure the switch for in-band
or out-of-band connectivity. To use the Web Interface, you must set up your system for in-band
connectivity.
Configuring for In-Band Connectivity
In-band connectivity allows you to access the switch from a remote workstation using the
Ethernet network. To use in-band connectivity, you must configure the switch with IP
information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
Configure for In-band connectivity using one of the following methods:
• BootP or DHCP
• EIA-232 port
Using BootP or DHCP
You can assign IP information initially over the network or over the Ethernet service port
through BootP or DHCP. Check with your system administrator to determine whether BootP
or DHCP is enabled.
You need to configure the BootP or DHCP server with information about the switch —obtain
this information through the serial port connection using the
show network command. Set up
the server with the following values:
IP Address
Unique IP address for the switch. Each IP parameter is made up of four deci-
mal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters is
10.90.90.90.
Subnet
Subnet mask for the LAN
