After you enter these parameters and reboot the switch, log off the local console connection. Perform 
additional configuration steps over your network using a telnet connection.

terminal connection by entering the 

 command. If you do not, the local 

terminal session remains active and you cannot reach the switch through telnet. To 
correct this condition, connect the local terminal to the switch and enter the 

 

command.
