Hi Rich Thank you so much for your fast response. for the 1st quesiton, what is "config-register = 0x1"? for the 2nd question, I have same model switch there is int "FastEthernet1" to let me to configure the management int
interface FastEthernet1 no ip address speed auto duplex auto But in this switch, I can't see this int in show running config so that I can't configure it for the management port Do you have any idea? Thank you Rich Davies <[email protected]> wrote: Chloe, The config-register of 0x2142 is usually configured when someone does password recovery on the device. You need to change it back to 0x2102 then reset the switch: confreg 0x2102 reset This should cause switch to boot up with config register of 0x2102 which tells it to load the configuration from NVRAM (normal default operation). Once the Cisco IOS is booted and you can get in to do configuration on the switch you will want to setup a management IP address. Traditionally switches have a "Vlan1" interface which is the interface you should put your management IP on. example shown assumes the following: x.x.x.x = management IP y.y.y.y = management IP subnet mask z.z.z.z = default gateway (.1 or whatever you are using for the subnet). config term ! ! interface vlan 1 ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y ! ip default-gateway z.z.z.z ! ! end wr mem Hope this helps! -Rich On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 2:08 PM, chloe K <[email protected]> wrote: Hi I have problems in this switch 49 48 1/ I can't setup the management interface.
