Configuring New cisco 4510 switch

[raghavendran.r]

Hi ..

is there any order we need to follow while configuring the  brand new switch .

Know that while configuring  AAA for TACACS ..need to follow some order , recently while configuring switch TACACS faced the issue .....post tacacs  stuff configuration still enable to privilege mode was remained as   Local credential. ...hence  removed aaa new model and  tacacs server config stuffs,,,, and applied into  switch in orderly fashion and  enable to privilege mode  was sccebile via TACACS credential ....is that same order we need to follow elsewhere ..Please confirm?

Hi,

No, there isn't really any specific order, but I would take care of authentication (AAA, ACS server) and out-of-band management first, so you always have access to the switch and then do the rest. Also, before connecting it to the rest of the network, I would take care of spanning tree stuff first to make sure the new switch does not become the root bridge.
