(Optional) Enter this information in the Advanced Setting fields:
Step 14
• In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the
switch by using the command-line interface (CLI). If you enable Telnet access, you
must enter a Telnet password.
• In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to
25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not
allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter
the Telnet password.
• In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). Enable SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using
CiscoWorks 2000 or another SNMP-based network-management system.
• If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read
Community field, the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community
strings authenticate access to MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP
community strings. When you set the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP
information, but you cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write community, you
can both access and modify SNMP information.
• In the System Contact and System Location fields, enter a contact name and the wiring
closet, floor, or building where the switch is located.
Step 15
(Optional) You can enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on the switch. From the
Advanced Settings tab, check the Enable IPv6 check box.
Enabling IPv6 restarts the switch when you complete Express Setup.
Note
To complete Express Setup, click Submit from the Basic Settings or the Advanced Settings
Step 16
tab to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.
When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC
displays a warning message and tries to connect with the new switch IP address. If you
configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC,
connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost.
Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See
Step 17
the "Managing the Switch" section for information about configuring and managing the
switch.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the "Resetting the Switch" section.
