Hi

 

New to managed switches and the 5324.

 

Im trying to follow the instructions to have the switch get its Ip address from a DHCP server on the network:

 

This from the 'Starting and Configuring' section of the Users Guide:

 

• Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses:

console# configure

console(config)# interface ethernet g1

console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname device

console(config-if)# exit

console(config)#

 

What does the bolding of the commands imply? I dont understand what is meant by device. Is that the IP of the DHCP server? Whan I provide that IP and check the Ip address, it shows an IP of 0.0.0.0/24. What am I doing wrong?

 

Secondly, I would like to enable https management of the switch and so am following the instructions in the same guide:

To configure an initial HTTPS password, enter the following commands:

console(config)# ip https authentication local

console(config)# username admin password user1 level 15

Enter the following commands once when configuring to use a terminal, a Telnet, or an SSH session in order to use an HTTPS session.

NOTE: In the Web browser enable SSL 2.0 or greater for the page content to be displayed.

console(config)# crypto certificate generate key_generate

console(config)# ip https server

When initially enabling an http or https session, enter admin for user name and user1 for password.

 

When I submit the command 'crypto certificate generate key_generate', it returns 'Unrecognized command'. Likewise for 'crypto certificate generate key_generate' (dash rather than underscore). Where is there a manual that describes the syntax required of these commands?
