Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations
Configuring the Management Port
You can configure the management port from an IP connected network. To obtain remote management
access using Telnet, use the following steps:
Note Any Fast Ethernet interface 1-48 and any Gigabit Ethernet interface 49-50 on the
Catalyst 2948G-L3 switch router, or any Gigabit Ethernet interface 1-8 on the
Catalyst 4908G-L3 switch router, can be configured as a management port.
Your switch router should now be operating correctly. You can now use Telnet to remotely assign and
verify configurations.
