You assign IP information to the switch so that the switch can communicate with local routers and the Internet and so that you can use the web-based Cisco Visual Switch Manager Software. The first time you start the switch, it prompts you for an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and secret password.
Before you start the switch, contact your system administrator to obtain the following information, and record it here:
1. Switch IP address:
2. Subnet mask (IP netmask):
3. Default gateway (router):
4. Enable secret password: 
Step 1 Enter Y at the first prompt:
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: y
Step 2 Enter the switch IP address, and press Return:
Enter IP address: 1
Step 3 Next, enter the subnet mask, and press Return:
Enter IP netmask: 2
Step 4 Enter Y at the next prompt to enter a default gateway (router):
Would you like to enter a default gateway address? [yes]: y
Step 5 Enter the IP address of the default gateway, and press Return:
IP address of the default gateway: 3
Step 6 Enter a password, and press Return:
Enter enable secret: 4
The initial configuration displays:
