Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based
Setup Program
This appendix provides a CLI-based setup procedure for a Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X standalone
switch or a switch stack. To set up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Cisco
3750-X and 3560-X
Switch Getting Started Guide. Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety
warnings in
Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”
Accessing the CLI
Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup
You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then
connecting a switch Ethernet port or the Ethernet management port to the Ethernet port of your PC or
workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the getting started
guide for powering on the switch and using Express Setup.
When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address
10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the
“Entering the
Initial Configuration Information” section on page C-6.
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using
the write memory privileged EXEC command.
Note While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the switch until you enter the
write memory command. You lose the Telnet connection after entering the write memory command.
For more information about using the CLI, see the command reference for this release.
Accessing the CLI Through a Console Port
You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI.
