Choosing Setup Options

Select Wired Network to configure your device based on a site profile, and continue to configure switch

wide settings. Otherwise, continue to the next step and configure only basic settings for your device.

On the Basic Device Settings page configure the following information:

Procedure

Step 1

In the Device ID and Location Settings section, type a unique name to identify your device in the network.

Step 2

Choose the date and time settings for your device. To synchronize your device with a valid outside timing

mechanism, such as an NTP clock source, choose Automatic, or choose Manual to set it yourself.

Step 3

In the Device Management Settings section, assign an IP address to the management interface. Ensure that

the IP address you assign is part of the subnet mask you enter.

Step 4

Enter an IP address to specify the default gateway.

If you did not select Wired Network, in the previous step, continue to the next screen to verify your

configuration on the Day 0 Config Summary screen, and click Finish. To automatically configure your

device based on a site profile, click Setup Options, and select Wired Network.

To ease your configuration tasks and save time, choose a site profile based on where your device may be

installed and managed in your network. Based on the site profile you choose, your device is automatically

configured according to Cisco best practices. You can easily modify this default configuration, from the

corresponding detailed configuration screens.

Choosing a site profile as part of Quick Setup allows you to configure your device based on the business needs

of your enterprise. For example, you could use your device as an access switch, to connect client nodes and

endpoints on your network, or as a distribution switch, to route packets between subnets and VLANs.
