After studying this chapter you will be able to understand: Initial startup of the Catalyst Switch, initial bootup output from the Catalyst 2960 Switch, initial configuration of the Catalyst 2960 Switch using setup, logging in to the Switch and entering the privileged EXEC mode,. | Basic switch configuration Initial Startup of the Catalyst Switch System startup routines initiate switch software. Initial startup uses default configuration parameters. Purpose: This slide describes the Catalyst 1900 switch startup procedures. Emphasize: This slide states the tasks that students will be doing for one of the lab exercises in this module: start the switch, check POST LED display lights, set up required parameters, and check initial configuration messages. Present this page as a listing of the major activities that your students will learn about in the next several pages, and then practice in the lab. Item 1 should have been completed with the last chapter. This juncture in the chapter is a good place for you to make sure that these preparations have indeed been done in all the work-groups. Point out with the item 2 that the Catalyst 1900 switch does not have a power on switch. Plugging in the power cable powers up the switch. Transition: Use item 3 to transition to . | Basic switch configuration Initial Startup of the Catalyst Switch System startup routines initiate switch software.

Transition: Use item 3 to transition to the next page for presentation details. Catalyst 2960 Switch LED Indicators Purpose: This slide describe the LEDs on the Catalyst 1900 switch. Emphasize: Refer to the table in the Student Guide for presentation details. Students will not be able to try out the various port LED display modes until they have powered up their switch. Tell your students to put a placeholder on this page so that they can return to it. Before students can see the three port LED display modes, they will first see the port LEDs indicate a power-on self-test (POST). Transition: POST indications on the switch port lights. Initial Bootup Output from the Catalyst 2960 Switch Purpose: This slide describes the console output on the Catalyst 1900 switch during startup. Emphasize: If a POST fails, a corresponding console message will be displayed indicating the POST failure. In this slide, the switch started up without any POST error. From the User Interface menu, select K to access the command-line interface. In this .
