SSH or console into the switch (switch will get DHCP by default). Type the commands from Phase 1 in, one at a time. The switch will reboot. Once it reboots, SSH in again, and copy/paste all of Phase 2.

Enable Config Sync

The switch should now show as "Online" in the switches scaffold. Although the switch is bootstrapped, click on Sync not enabled to start the sync process.

Click on Generate Diff to Enable Sync

The remaining configuration to synchronize the switch is displayed. Click Enable Config Synchronization

Click OK at the warning prompt

The sync status will turn green, displaying the last upate timestamp. The switchports can now be configured on the rXg

Adding VLANs to a Switchport

Click Edit on a switchport in order to add VLANs to that port.

Choose the VLANs from the list, and click Update

The rXg will automatically run the necessary commands on the switch to enforce these changes. The timestamp in the "Config Sync Status" will also be updated.
