if the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. you can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:

    1 start cms, as described in the switch software configuration guide, and configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch. see the release notes for the catalyst 3560 switch on cisco.com for the most current browser requirements.

    2 start network assistant (which is free) by following these steps:

    a. go to this web address: http://www.cisco.com/go/networkassistant

    you must be a registered cisco.com user, but you need no other access privileges.

    b. find the network assistant installer.

    c. download the network assistant installer, and run it. (you can run it directly from the web if your browser offers this choice.)

    d. when you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. in the final panel, click finish to complete network assistant installation.

    see the network assistant online help and the getting started guide for more information.

    3 use the cli from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch. see the catalyst 3560 switch software configuration guide and the catalyst 3560 switch command reference on cisco.com for information on using the cli with a catalyst 3560 switch.

    for setup instructions that use the cli setup program, go to appendix c, “configuring the switch with the cli-based setup program.”

    4 start an snmp application such as the ciscoview application.
