AC- and DC-Power Input Connectors

The Cisco ME 3400E-24TS-M and the Cisco ME 3400EG-12CS support combinations of power-supply modules: two AC, two DC, or one AC and one DC. The two AC- and one DC-power connectors on the front panel accommodate the mixture of AC- and DC-power-supply modules. The DC-power connector

has the standard A and B feeds for DC redundancy. See Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC- and

DC-Power-Supply Modules.”

Alarm Input Port

The switch supports four alarm inputs. The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. Use the CLI to define each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define the alarm severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm message, and the corresponding Alarm LED responds (see the

“Alarm LEDs” section on page 1-11 ).

OL-16447-01


Front Panel

Management Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the

10/100 Ethernet management port or the console port. The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or 10 or

100 Mb/s, and its traffic is isolated from the other ports. See Table 1-7 for descriptions of the Ethernet

management port LEDs. See the

“10/100 Ethernet Management Port” section on page B-3 for pinout

information.

For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Console Port Adapter Pinouts” section on page B-7 .

10/100 Fast Ethernet Ports

You can set the 10/100 ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or

10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is autonegotiate.

When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).

Dual-Purpose Ports

You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate. You can also configure them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.

By default, the switch dynamically selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port by using the media-type interface configuration command.

You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.

SFP Modules

The switch Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules are used for connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP-module slot. You can use any combination of SFP modules. The SFP modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections.

Supported on SFP-only ports, not supported on dual-purpose ports.

Note The Cisco ME 3400E-24TS-M does not support 1000BASE-T SFP modules.

For more information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the

“Installing and

Removing SFP Modules” section on page 2-19

. For cable specifications, see

Appendix B, “SFP Module

Connectors.”

SFP Module Patch Cable

The switch supports the SFP-module patch cable, a 0.5-meter, copper, passive cable with SFP module connectors at each end (see

Figure 1-4

). The patch cable connects two switches in a cascaded configuration.

Figure 1-4 SFP-Module Patch Cable

1-6


OL-16447-01


Front Panel

See the

“Inserting and Removing the SFP Module Patch Cable” section on page 2-21 for more

information about using the SFP module patch cable.

You can order the SFP module patch cable (part number CAB-SFP-50CM=).

UNIs, NNIs, and ENIs

The switch supports user-network interfaces (UNIs), network node interfaces (NNIs), and enhanced network interfaces (ENIs). UNIs are typically connected to a host, such as customer premises equipment

(CPE) or a home access gateway. NNIs are typically connected to a router or to another switch. ENIs have the same functionality as UNIs, but can be configured to support protocol control packets for

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol

(LLDP), EtherChannel Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or Port Aggregation Protocol

(PAgP). Every port is in an UNI, ENI, or NNI mode at any time, but not all ports have to all be set the same.

By default, the dual-purpose ports on the Cisco ME 3400E-12CS-M and on the

Cisco ME 3400EG-2CS-A are configured as UNIs, and the SFP-only uplink ports are configured as

NNIs. You must specifically configure ports to be ENIs; no ports are ENIs by default. By default, the

10/100 ports on the Cisco ME 3400E-24TS-M are UNIs, and the dual-purpose ports are NNIs.

A port can be reconfigured from UNI to NNI or an ENI, and the reverse. When a port is reconfigured as another interface type, it inherits all the characteristics of that interface type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.

LEDs

You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance.

Installing SFP Modules

Figure 2-16 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.

Caution We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove fiber-optic SFP modules with cables attached because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module.

Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

OL-16447-01


2-19


Figure 2-16 SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch


Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.

Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.

On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).

Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening and push until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot (see

Figure 2-17

).

Figure 2-17 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot

Step 4 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.

Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Step 5 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

• For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.

Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

Removing the SFP Module Patch Cable

To remove an SFP module patch cable from the SFP module slot, release the connector, and pull it from the SFP module slot.


The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.

To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:

•

•

Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

2-22


OL-16447-01



Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000-BASE-T devices:

Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45

connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-21

.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the

“Cables and Adapters” section on page B-4

for cable-pinout descriptions.)

Note You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. The switch then detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or

1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when both devices have established link. (See

Figure 2-21

Caution To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

Step 1 When connecting to servers, workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.

Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.

Observe the port status LED.

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might

be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for

solutions to cabling problems.

If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Finding the Switch Serial Number, page 4-5

Diagnosing Problems

The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show power-on self-test (POST) failures, port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the CLI or from an SNMP workstation. See the software configuration guide and the switch command reference on Cisco.com or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information.

Switch POST Results

As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. It might take several minutes for the switch to complete POST.

When the switch begins POST, the System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.

When POST succeeds, the System LED becomes solid green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the System LED is solid amber.

You can use the show diagnostics post user EXEC command to display the POST results.

Note POST failures are usually serious. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does not pass POST.

for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Switch Connections

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors.

You can identify this situation because the port has many packet errors or the port constantly flaps (loses and regains link).

• Examine or exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable.

•

•

•

Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate faulty media convertors

(fiber-optic-to-copper).

Try the cable in another port or interface, if possible, to see if the problem follows the cable.

Ethernet and Fiber Cables

Make sure that you have the correct cable type for the connection:

• For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5,

Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections.

•

•

For fiber-optic connectors, verify that you have the correct cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the connected device ports both match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.

For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse. Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable. See Table 2-1 for recommended Ethernet cables.

Link Status

Verify that both sides have link. A single broken wire or one shutdown port can cause one side to show link, but the other side does not have link.

A port LED does not guarantee that the cable is fully functional. The cable might have encountered physical stress that causes it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:

•

•

•

Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.

Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.

Verify that both devices have power.

4-2


OL-16447-01



•

•

Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See

Appendix B, “Connector and Cable

Specifications,” for more information.

Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated, but is not. Disconnect the cable and then reconnect it.

SFP Module Port Issues

Use only Cisco SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch. Check these items:

•

•

Bad or wrong SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with known good module. Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the SFP modules that the switch supports.)

Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown. Re-enable the port if needed.

• Make sure that all fiber connections are properly cleaned and securely connected.

Port and Interface Settings

An obvious but sometimes overlooked cause of port connectivity failure is a disabled interface. Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off for some reason. If an interface is manually shut down on one side of the link or the other side, the link does not come up until you re-enable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown on either side of the connection. If needed, re-enable the interface.

Ping the End Device

Ping from the directly connected switch first, and then work your way back port by port, interface by interface, trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch can identify the end device MAC address in its Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.

Spanning Tree Loops

STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.

Unidirectional links can cause spanning-tree loops. A unidirectional link occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by its neighbor, but does not receive traffic sent by the neighbor. A broken fiber-optic cable, other cabling, or a port issue could cause this one-way communication.

The UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol helps identify unidirectional link problems. For more information, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in the switch software configuration guide on

Cisco.com.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

Switch Performance

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

If the port statistics show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions errors, this might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.

A common issue with speed and duplex is when the duplex settings are mismatched between two switches, between a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when manually setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.

To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the duplex or speed settings.

•

•

•

Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the ports on both ends of the connection.

If a remote device does not autonegotiate, set the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Autonegotiation and NICs

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By default, the switch ports and interfaces are set to autonegotiate. Devices like laptops or other devices are commonly set to autonegotiate, yet sometimes autonegotation issues occur.

To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does not solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on your NIC. You can resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest available version.

Cabling Distance

If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable distance

from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines. See the “Cables and

Adapters” section on page B-4

for cabling guidelines.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

This section describes how to reset the switch by rerunning the initial configuration dialog (system configuration dialog). These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch:

• You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong

IP address.

• You want to clear all the configuration settings from the switch and assign a new IP address.

Caution This procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information stored on the switch. Do not follow this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.

4-4


OL-16447-01


Finding the Switch Serial Number

To reset the switch:

1.

2.

At the switch prompt, enter enable , and press Return or Enter .

At the privileged EXEC prompt, switch#

, enter setup , and press Return or Enter .

The switch displays the prompt to run the initial configuration dialog. The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in

Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”


If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you need to know the serial number of your switch. Use these figures to locate the serial number location. You can also use the show version privileged EXEC command or the show inventory user EXEC command to get the serial number.

Appendix B Connector and Cable Specifications


When connecting 10/100 ports to compatible devices such as servers, workstations, and routers, you can use a two or four twisted-pair straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

Figure B-6 shows the two twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics. Figure B-8 shows the four twisted-pair

straight-through cable schematics.

When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you can use a two or four twisted-pair crossover cable.

Figure B-7

shows the two twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.

Figure B-9 shows the four twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.

Note You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

You can use Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling when connecting to 10BASE-T-compatible devices. You must use Category 5 (or higher) cabling when connecting to 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.

Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports only when one port is designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X or when both ports do not have an X .

This applies only to switches on which auto-MDIX is disabled.

— 62 miles (100 km)

1.

Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

2.

A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.

3.

Requires a mode-conditioning patch cord. An ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m) require the mode-conditioning patch cord.

4.

1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.

Note When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or

10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the

1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link.

To identify a crossover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to pin 1 on the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 3 on the right plug. The wire connected to pin 2 on the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 6 on the right plug.

Console Port Adapter Pinouts

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in

Table B-2 and

Table B-3

. If you did not order a console cable with your switch, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female

DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see

Table B-2

and

Table B-3 .

Table B-2 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based

Setup Program

This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch.

Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in

Chapter 2, “Switch

Installation”

and

Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC- and DC-Power-Supply Modules.”

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to the serial port on your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a Telnet session.

Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software

Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST).

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or

ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Follow these steps to start a terminal-emulation session:

Step 1

Step 2

Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

•

•

9600 baud or 115200 baud (suggested rate)

8 data bits

•

•

•

1 stop bit

No parity

None (flow control)


C-1 OL-16447-01

Appendix C Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC-power cord to the AC-power connector on the switch, and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC-power outlet.

To power on a DC switch, see Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC- and DC-Power-Supply

Modules.”


To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch is powered up. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet.

IP Settings

You will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Switch IP address

Subnet mask (IP netmask)

Default gateway (router)

Enable secret password

Enable password

Telnet password

Completing the Setup Program

Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration for the switch:

Step 1

Step 2

Enter Yes at these two prompts.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system.

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return .

On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters.

Do not use -n , where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch.

Enter host name [Switch]: host_name

C-2


OL-16447-01



Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

Step 8

Step 9

Enter an enable secret password, and press Return .

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted and the enable password is in plain text.

Enter enable secret: secret_password

Enter an enable password, and press Return .

Enter enable password: enable_password

Enter a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return .

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces.

Enter virtual terminal password: terminal-password

(Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts.

You can also configure SNMP later through the CLI. To configure SNMP later, enter no .

Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no

Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the management network, and press Return . For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface.

Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: vlan1

Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return . The IP address and subnet masks shown below are examples.

Configuring interface vlan1:

Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes

IP address for this interface: 10.4.120.106

Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.0

Enter Y to configure the switch as the cluster command switch. Enter N to configure it as a member switch or as a standalone switch.

If you enter N , you can configure the switch as a command switch later through the CLI. To configure it later, enter no .

Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? [yes/no]: no

You have now completed the initial configuration of the switch, and the switch displays its initial configuration. This is an example of output that appears:

The following configuration command script was created: hostname switch1 enable secret 5 $1$Ulq8$DlA/OiaEbl90WcBPd9cOn1 enable password enable_password line vty 0 15 password terminal-password no snmp-server

!

no ip routing

!

interface Vlan1 no shutdown ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0

!

interface FastEthernet1/0/1


OL-16447-01 C-3



!

interface FastEthernet1/0/2 interface FastEthernet1/0/3

!

...<output abbreviated> end

Step 10 These choices appear:

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.

[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.

[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

If you want to save the configuration and use it the next time the switch reboots, save it in NVRAM by selecting option 2.

Enter your selection [2]: 2

Make your selection, and press Return .

After you complete the setup program, the switch can run the default configuration that you created. If you want to change this configuration or want to perform other management tasks, use the CLI.

To use the CLI, enter commands at the Switch > prompt through the console.
