These steps assume that your switch is being configured starting with factory-default settings as a stand-alone unit.
Instructions:
- Open the CLI using the console or management IP for your S-series switch.
- Log in to the privileged exec mode using your management credentials.
- To verify existing port modes and VLAN membership, use the command below and then press enter.
show interface status
NOTE: Interfaces in OS10 are access mode VLAN 1 by default and active on factory-default configurations.
- To modify the switch configuration, run the command below to edit the switch configuration then press enter.
configure terminal
- To select the switchports, use the command below where X is the physical port number then press enter.
interface ethernet 1/1/X
- To change a range of switchports, use the command below followed by the switchport numbers to be added. For consecutive ports, use a hyphen. For nonconsecutive ranges, use a comma. Consecutive and nonconsecutive ranges can be combined if a bulk change is required.
interface range ethernet
Example:
- Consecutive range of ports 14 through 15 would be:
interface range ethernet 1/1/14-1/1/15.
- Nonconsecutive range of ports 3,10,19 would be:
interface range ethernet 3,10,19.
- A mix of consecutive and nonconsecutive would-be:
interface range ethernet 1/1/3, 1/1/14-1/1/15.
- To change the selected switchports to access mode, use the command below, where X is the VLAN number.
switchport access vlan X
NOTE: Access mode ports can only be a member of a single VLAN.
- To back out of the privileged exec mode, type End then press enter.
- To verify the changes, rerun the command:
show interface status
- Once the changes are validated, use the following command to save the changes to the startup configuration:
write memory
Then press enter.
