? Cisco Catalyst 3500 XL Series Switches

They are so new , I have never see the non Catalyst or anything running
the CatOS instead of IOS.

Because <grin> it's the day job </grin>.

Although the OP hasn't replied with the IOS version number.

Depending on OP posting again, the 1 obvious URL that's still missing
the basic console configuration , honstname, ip , password although the
setup prompt runs automatically and it's a y/n to continue.

However if the OP does or doesn't do the basic setup and hasn't saved
the config, it keeps asking.

Hi,

It's usually the little numbers that follow cause the most fun for
those you need visibility of the sticker on the back or access to the
GUI / cmd line and - show version.

You mean creating new rules?

It can be dead simple, from something like - (pseudo commands)

allow dns
allow any server-address-1
allow any server address-2
deny everything_else


If you have a DMZ, multiple interfaces / onboard VPN and so on it gets a
bit heavy going.

There are some CIsco PIX 5xx posts in
comp.security.firewalls

but better start off with, lots of help from the regulars.
comp.dcom.sys.cisco

Remembering the Cisco online docs as well.

Oh well, if you go through the reset procedure, or even get the rollover
cable / hyperterminal going, start logging to a file and power cycle the
switch. The info will be captured to the log file.

Something nice for the home
