Examples of strong passwords include the following:

If2CoM18

2004AsdfLkj30

Cb1955S21

Clear text passwords cannot include the dollar sign ($) special character.

Note

If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software will reject your password
configuration. Be sure to configure a strong password as explained in this step. Passwords are case sensitive.

Tip

If you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.

Step 3

Enter the same password again.
If you enter the same password, the software accepts the password and begins asking a series of configuration questions.

Step 4

Until you are asked for an IP address, you can enter the default configuration for each question.
Repeat this step for each question until you are asked for the Mgmt0 IPv4 address.

Step 5

Enter the IP address for the management interface.
The software asks for the Mgmt0 IPv4 netmask.

Step 6

Enter a network mask for the management interface.
The software asks if you need to edit the configuration.

Step 7

Enter

no

to not edit the configuration.

The software asks if you need to save the configuration.

Step 8

Enter

yes

to save the configuration.

What to Do Next

You can now set up the management interface for each supervisor module on the switch.

Connecting Interface Ports

You can connect BASE-T (copper) and optical interface ports on I/O modules with other devices for network
connectivity.

Connecting a BASE-T Port to the Network

You can connect an I/O-module BASE-T (copper) port to another device on the network using a copper
network interface cable with RJ-45 connectors on either end.

Before You Begin

You must follow the ESD-preventative protocol, such as wearing a grounded ESD wrist strap, whenever
handling electronic components.

You must have BASE-T ports available for connection on a 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet I/O module
installed on the switch.
