can also set a system contact using this command.

Step 8 Configure 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.
Switch1 (config)# enable secret
SecretPassword
Step 9 Configure an enable password, and press Return.
Switch1 (config)# enable password
EnablePassword

Step 11 Configure the interface that connects to the management network. (The IP address and subnet mask
shown are for example only. Use an address appropriate for your network.)
Switch1 (config)# ip routing
Switch1 (config)# interface gigabitethernet

Switch1 (config-if)# no switchport
Switch1 (config-if)# no shutdown
Switch1 (config-if)# ip address
10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0
Switch1 (config-if)# exit
At this point do we also do a barebones SNMP config? Passwords and community strings?
Step 12 Exit from global configuration mode:
Switch (config)# exit
Switch #
Step 13 View the configuration you just created and confirm that it is what you want.
Switch1# show run
