Hey all,

I am trying to set up a lab environment with a G450 MGW.
Right now, I have an S8300 module inserted and a few various media modules.

I can access the G450 CLI and the 8300 web interface. Learning how as I go.

But I would like to become familiar with working with it: (registering test phones to it, patch updates, firmware installs, wipe it clean and re-configure, etc..)

I've never done so before and tend to learn better with hands on effort.

Question is: Can anyone give me a checklist of what I would need to get this HW onto a network environment just for my own testing lab use?
I can get access to a switch via our network team, but short of that, what are my next requirements and steps to take?
I don't want to try and put this on the company network and cause some kind of catastrophe.

What would I need?
Get an IP address,
Plug the GW into a network port,
Make sure that port is configured X,Y and Z...
Stuff along these lines..

Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
