Installing the BayStack 450 Switch

309978-D Rev 01

2-17

The BayStack 450 switch is designed for “plug-and-play” operation; in most cases 
the switch can be installed and made operational using the system default settings 
(see Appendix G, “Default Settings,” for a list of default settings for the BayStack 
450 switch).

However, for the switch management function to become fully operational, certain 
parameters must be configured. A minimal configuration is required when you 
plan on remote management or TFTP operations.

If you are configuring your BayStack 450 switches in a stack configuration, you 
must supply additional parameters to properly set up the stack.

This section includes the following information:

•

Instructions for the initial (standalone) switch setup

•

Instructions for the initial stack setup

After setting up your switch or stack configuration as described in the following 
sections, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface,” for detailed descriptions of 
the menus and screens you can use to customize your configuration.

For the initial setup of a standalone switch, you need to enter the IP address of the 
switch, the subnet mask, and the gateway address (see Chapter 3, “Using the 
Console Interface,” for more information about configuring your BayStack 450 
switch).

To set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the switch, follow 
these steps:

The Main Menu is displayed (Figure 2-13). The Main Menu hierarchy is 
described in Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
