Privileged EXEC mode ?? 3

[glamprecht1]

Hello all its been many, many, many years since i fooled with the Cisco CLI so my skills are obsolete.

I wiped out the config on a Catalyst 2984G-GE-TX switch and am attempting to configure it with basic IP, mask info.

But when i attempt to go to configure mode i never seem to get there.
The prompt will show >Console
I type in enable and hit enter. (no password yet)
and i end up with >Console (enable)

Not sure what that is but should i not see the # to signify that i am in config mode? I cant seem to get there.

Thanks!!!

This is a Catalyst OS switch, not an IOS switch, so the prompts and commands are very different.

Well that would explain why i have never seen this...Its been over 5 years....

could you point me to the nessasary commands that i need to inptut to configure this switch with an IP/mask and so on?

Thanks!!!

This has everything you need to know:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4000/6.3and6.4/command/reference/cr_toc.html

To add an IP to the admin interface, the command is "set interface".

Do "set interface ?" to see the various options.

Good luck!

for basic connectivity "set int sc0 <ip address> <mask> , then do a set ip route default <default gateway address> and this will get it on the air with everything in vlan 1 . To set passwords doa set password command and set the intial password then do a set enablepass command to set the enable password.

jneiberger and vipergg...

You two have helped me tremendously. I now have this switch pretty much operational. (Sort of )

Two questions....

I have searched and searched but cannot find the command to save the config.
write mem does not work and copy run start variations do not either.
How do I save the running config to startup config???

Also
how do I specify/change the http password and or username?
I have enabled http access but cannot access the switch. Or do you know what the default is on this type of switch?

 

[jneiberger]

You don't have to save the config on a Catalyst OS device. Changes are automatically saved to the "startup" configuration.

I'm glad you got it working!

jneiberger .... WOW these are sooooo different.


Any idea on the http access?

I have poured over all the commands that are available for the Catalyst OS and cant seem to find a way to set the http password or user name. Therefore i still cannot access the web interface.

So is the Catalyst OS the wave of the future or is this just an odball setup?


Thanks again!!!

 

[jneiberger]

I have no idea about the http access. I've never tried to set it up on CatOS.

CatOS is an older OS that is actually going away, I think. Pretty much all of Cisco's newer switches are IOS-based, which is both good and bad. I prefer IOS, but certain things are much easier in CatOS.

You have to have specific code on the supervisor to use the gui interface . It has to be what is called ciscoview code . If it is the right code when you do a "dir bootflash: somewhere in the name it will have "cv" in the name of the bin file . then you would have to do a set ip http server enable I believe. We have a ton of these so if you have other questions write back . We don't use the gui just CLI .

 

[jneiberger]

Cool info, vipergg. I didn't know that about the cv code on CatOS switches.

vipergg:

Thanks for the post..
I typed in the "dir bootflash:" command and below is the output. Not much showing and nothing with CV in the filename.
Just to note, i have enabled the HTTP access with the "set ip http server enable" command and when i attempt to connect via IE i do get a login box. (allways have) But none of the passwords that i use on swtich work.


Here is that output..

11065920 bytes available (4662720 bytes used)
Console> (enable) dir bootflash:
-#- -length- -----date/time------ name
1 4662592 --- -- ---- --:--:-- cat4000-k8.8-3-2-GLX.bin

11065920 bytes available (4662720 bytes used)
Console> (enable)

I really want this web interface since i am totaly ignorant of this OS that i dont know if it is configured corectly or not. The web interface gives me a GUI to "ignorantly" poke around the config without havng to know the commands.

Thanks for all of your posts!!
