(See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide for details.) In all other cases, you must complete Section 3. (Section 4 is optional.)
Assign the IP information that the switch uses with the local routers and the Internet and that you use with the Cisco Visual Switch Manager (CVSM) software.
Get the following IP information from your system administrator:
