Once power is connected, the switch will automatically power on. Observe the system status LEDs on the front panel. The SYS LED should turn green after the boot sequence completes.

6.2 Configuration initiale

For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your computer to the switch's console port (either USB-C or RJ-45). Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with the following settings:

• Taux de bauds: 9600
• Bits de données : 8
• Parité: Aucun
• Bits d'arrêt: 1
• Contrôle de flux : Aucun

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the initial setup wizard. For advanced configurations, refer to the Cisco IOS XE documentation for Catalyst 9300 Series switches.
