4900m Management Access

[jjackson]

We have two 4900m Catalyst Switches with IOS Software Version 12.2(53) SG8. New to initally configuring a Cisco managed switch. Need help or step-by-step instructions on setting up management so I can access switches by web browser or embedded CiscoView.

1) configure an IP address on the management port

Switch>en
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config-if)#interface FastEthernet1
Switch(config-if)#ip vrf forwarding mgmtVrf
Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.240 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)#speed auto
Switch(config-if)#duplex auto
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#

2) ping to check if it works

Switch#ping vrf mgmtVrf 192.168.0.127

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.0.127, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
Switch#

3) configure the management port as source for the TFTP

Switch#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#ip tftp source-interface FastEthernet1
Switch#exit
Switch#

4) copy the IOS

Switch#copy tftp: slot0:
Address or name of remote host [192.168.0.127]?
Source filename [XYZ]?
Destination filename [XYZ]?
Accessing tftp://192.168.0.127/XYZ

it should load now......

Hi Jawad,

Thank you for you help. In step #4 I'm getting "%Error opening tftp://

/ciscoview.tar (Timed out). What should

be. . .fa1 IP Address? In Step #1 you have 192.168.0.240 as the IP for fa1 and in Step #2 you are pinging 192.168.0.127 and using it in Step #4. Should the two IP address in your examples be the same or meant to be different?

Thank you,

John
