8 Quick Installation Guide
Your system is shipped from the factory with IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
bridging disabled. To configure system features for your particular
networking environment, you must first establish management access.
Initially, you can only manage your system locally through a direct
terminal connection to the terminal serial port. You use this interface to
configure additional access mechanisms, as shown in Table 5.
For more information on access mechanisms, see chapter on “Quick
Setup for Management Access” in the
Getting Started Guide
.
