Setting up a Catalyst 2940 switch.
Greetings Experts,
I am assigned to set up a Cisco 2940 switch to extend our network. At the facility where this switch will go there is currently only 1 cat5 wire and I want to take that cable, hook it up to this switch so I can hook up 2 PCs and a Printer to this switch. This is my first time setting up a Cisco switch. I am a beginner in this field and the only knowledge I have is from reading Cisco material and I have zero real world experience.
We have another 2940 and I am including the configuration.
My question is what are some steps that I should go by to configure the switch and if you can recommend me any tips they will be greatly appreciated.

are all the systems static IP? or are the switches assigning the IP's?
ASKER
Switches do not assign IP's. Everything is assigned a static address.

This switch was pulled straight from a box. It has not been in production yet. I did not set this switch up. The configuration posted in my origional post was the configuration of a similair Catalyst 2940 switch that is already in our network.
Basically, all you need to do is create a trunk between the switch you are coming from into this new out of the box 2940. Do you want me to type out a complete syntax from initial setup to trunking configuration? Do you want it to resemble the 2940 config you posted? Also, is the new 2940 the exact model as the 2940 config posted?

tn4712ee,
If you can type out the syntax i'll review it and try to understand it that way. I'll award you the full points. Thank you for all of your help with this.
