Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based
Setup Program
This appendix provides a CLI-based setup procedure for a Catalyst 3650 standalone switch or a switch
stack. To set up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Catalyst 3650 Switch Getting Started Guide.
Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings thoroughly.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• Accessing the CLI, page 3-1
• Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page 3-6
Accessing the CLI
The following are the various ways in which the CLI can be accessed.
Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup
You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then
connecting a switch Ethernet port or the Ethernet management port to the Ethernet port of your PC or
workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the Catalyst 3650
Switch Getting Started Guide at

ml.
When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address
10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the “Entering the
Initial Configuration Information” section on page 3-6.
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using
the write memory privileged EXEC command.
Note While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the switch until you enter the
write memory
command. However, you lose the Telnet connection after entering the write memory
command.
