Installing the BayStack 450 Switch
302401-D Rev 00
2-17
Initial Setup
The BayStack 450 switch is designed for “plug-and-play” operation; in most cases
the switch can be installed and made operational using the system default settings
(see Appendix F, “Default Settings,” for a list of default setting for the BayStack
450 switch).
However, for the switch management function to become fully operational, certain
parameters must be configured. A minimal configuration is required when you
plan on remote management or TFTP operations.
If you are configuring your BayStack 450 switches into a stack configuration, you
will need to supply additional parameters to properly set up the stack.
This section includes the following information:
Instructions for the initial (standalone) switch setup
Instructions for the initial stack setup
After setting up your switch or stack configuration as described in the following
sections, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface,” for detailed descriptions of
the menus and screens you can use to customize your configuration.
Standalone Switch Setup
For the initial setup of a standalone switch, you need to enter the IP address of the
switch, the subnet mask, and the gateway address (see Chapter 3, “Using the
Console Interface,” for more information about configuring your BayStack 450
switch).
To set the IP address,subnet mask, and gateway address for the switch, follow
these steps:
1.
Apply power to the switch.
2.
After the Nortel Networks logo screen appears, press [Ctrl]-Y.
The Main Menu is displayed (Figure 2-13
). The Main Menu hierarchy is
described in Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
