the Console Switch Installation and Setup
Next, the switch prompts for the information necessary to make the switch accessible through your
Ethernet network
Switch name
IP address
Subnet mask
After you enter these parameters and reboot the switch, log off the local console connection. Perform
additional configuration steps over your network using a telnet connection.
Only one console connection is allowed at any time.You must exit the local
terminal connection by entering the
exit command. If you do not, the local
terminal session remains active and you cannot reach the switch through telnet. To
correct this condition, connect the local terminal to the switch and enter the
exit
command.
