Cisco Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (CGESM) for HP Technical References

Use the setup privileged EXEC command to configure the switch with its initial configuration.

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Privileged EXEC 

When you use the setup command, make sure that you have this information:

IP address and network mask

Password strategy for your environment

Whether the switch will be used as the cluster command switch and the cluster name

When you enter the setup command, an interactive dialog, called the System Configuration Dialog, 
appears. It guides you through the configuration process and prompts you for information. The values 
shown in brackets next to each prompt are the default values last set by using either the setup command 
facility or the configure privileged EXEC command. 

Help text is provided for each prompt. To access help text, press the question mark (?) key at a prompt.

To return to the privileged EXEC prompt without making changes and without running through the entire 
System Configuration Dialog, press Ctrl-C.

When you complete your changes, the setup program shows you the configuration command script that 
was created during the setup session. You can save the configuration in NVRAM or return to the setup 
program or the command-line prompt without saving it.

This is an example of output from the setup command:

Switch# setup

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity

for management of the system, extended setup will ask you

to configure each interface on the system.
