Configuring Cisco Switch

Dave77 · 11 Jul 2006 at 12:27

Hello..

I have just got a Cisco Switch. Model Number WS-C2912-XL-EN.

I have consoled into it ok but cant seem to be able to set and configuration options. I've been trying to follow the instructions on cisco.com but each time I try to set something it comes back with.

"Invalid input detected at '^' marker."

Is it broken or something not set right in terminal software?

Thanks.

I should have provided some examples...

Switch#set interface sc0 up
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Switch#

Switch#show port
% Incomplete command.

Switch#

Thanks Burbleflop, those work fine. Can you point out a command reference sheet I should be using? I am using the following URL which I assumed was correct but obviously not.

Thanks for the help... I had no idea I was looking at the wrong info.. First thing I am going to do is reset it to factory default I think. It is has some previous configuration in it and i'd rather start from scratch.

Thanks.
