Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Pro ESW 500 Series Switch. The ESW 500 series is a family of Ethernet switches that addresses network infrastructure and access needs of small business customers for voice, data, PCs, Servers, and video applications. They are simple to deploy and manage for use with IP phones, Access Points, IP cameras, and Network Attached Storage servers as well as most any Ethernet device. The ESW 500 series includes seven Fast Ethernet and GigE switches in both 24and 48-port configurations with PoE and non-PoE options. The ESW 500 series also includes two 8 port PoE switches in Fast Ethernet and GigE models. The switch models covered in this guide are:

Typical Installation Methods
The first step in any installation scenario is to connect to the switch and configure basic connectivity to ensure it communicates with the rest of the network.
The following diagram illustrates three common installation scenarios:
In the first two scenarios, called VOICE and SECURITY DATA, you are adding an ESW 500 switch to a new or existing Cisco Smart Business Communications Systems (SBCS) network deployment. This deployment is either a VOICE network with UC520 being the anchor device or SECURITY / DATA network with the SR520 being the anchor device.

Getting Started
Typical Installation Methods
In the third scenario, called Heterogeneous Network, you are adding an ESW 500 switch to a network which does not have any Cisco Small Business products.
Default Configuration settings on the ESW 500 Series
Switches
The ESW 500 series switches ship with a default configuration that enables simplified installation and plug and play when connected into a Cisco Small Business network such as SBCS. The default settings are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Management VLAN is VLAN 1
Management IP Address is obtained via DHCP by default. If the switch times out on a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) response, it falls back to a static IP address 192.168.10.2 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Voice VLAN is VLAN 100
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is enabled on all ports
Physical Connectivity
Physical connections to the switch are described in the tables and graphics on the next two pages.

Typical Installation Methods
The ESW 540-24/24P and ESW 540-48 use shared ports. When connecting to uplink ports, the GE ports take precedence over the Copper ports. For example, on an ESW 540-24, if you plug a device into GE1, you cannot use port 11. The other port relationships are shown in the following table:

Description |
|
|
|
1 |
Switch |
The switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network ports |
|
Ports |
which use RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet ports support network |
|
|
speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half |
|
|
and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to |
|
|
automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it, and adjust |
|
|
its speed and duplex accordingly. These ports are typically used for |
|
|
devices such as PCs, servers, IP phones and Access Points., and are |
|
|
highlighted RED in the examples. |
|
|
|
2 |
Uplink |
These ports are typically used for connecting to other switches, routers, |
|
Ports |
or network backbone devices, and are highlighted in YELLOW in the |
|
|
examples. The mini-GBIC ports are a type of uplink port. |
|
|
|
3 |
mini- |
The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) port is a connection point for |
|
GBIC |
a mini-GBIC expansion module, allowing the switch to be uplinked via |
|
Ports |
fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC port provides a link to a high- |
|
|
speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to |
|
|
1000 Mbps. The mini-GBIC ports are highlighted in GREEN in the |
|
|
examples. |

Using a dynamic IP address allocated to the switch via DHCP (from DHCP server)
• Using the Console
The first three options to connect to the switch will open the ESW 500 Series Switch Configuration Utility, which is a web-based device manager used to provision the switch. The console option uses a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (bundled with Windows) or Putty (freeware).
NOTE Using the Console does not launch the Switch Configuration Utility and is recommended for advanced users only. Using the Console is discussed at the end of this chapter.
Using the Default Static IP Address
To start configuring the switch, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Make sure that there are no devices connected to the switch, the switch is not connected to the network, and then power up the switch by connecting the power cord.
NOTE If the switch was previously connected to the network, it may have obtained an IP address from a DHCP server. To perform a static IP address installation, disconnect all devices and remove the switch from the network. Then perform a power cycle of the switch by unplugging the power cable, waiting 5 seconds, and plugging it back in.
STEP 2 Connect a PC to port 1 of the switch with an ethernet cable.

STEP 3 If your PC is using a static IP address, make note of your current IP address settings, and record them for future use.
STEP 4 Place the PC on the same subnet of the switch by configuring the PC with the following parameters:
•Static IP address — 192.168.10.11
•Subnet mask — 255.255.255.0
•Default gateway — 192.168.10.2
NOTE Details on how to change the IP address on your PC are dependent upon the type of architecture and operating system installed. Use your PC’s local Help and Support functionality and search for “IP Addressing”.
STEP 5 Open a web browser. Cisco recommends Internet Explorer version 6 or higher, or Firefox version 3. Accept any requests to install Active-X plugin.
Enter http://192.168.10.2 in the address bar and press Enter. The Log In page opens:

STEP 6 Enter a user name and password. The default user name is cisco and the default password is cisco. Passwords are both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. Click Log In.
STEP 7 While the system is verifying the login attempt, the Log In Progress Indicator appears. The indicator dots rotate clockwise to indicate that the system is still working. If the login attempt is successful, the Change Username/Password Page opens.
NOTE After logging in using the default username and password you must change to a new username and password. Only after the change has been made, can you operate the device through the web browser. Every time you log in using cisco as the username and password, you will be redirected to the Change Username/Password Page.
STEP 8 Click Apply. The Switch Configuration Utility - System Dashboard Page opens.

NOTE It is expected that the IP address to be assigned to the switch is known prior to installation, based on the network topology.
STEP 10 Select the Static IP address radio button and enter the IP Address, Network Mask and User Defined Default Gateway. These must match the IP addressing subnet in the network in which the ESW 500 switch will be deployed. Click Apply.
NOTE The PC loses the connection to the switch at this point.
STEP 11 Now that you have finished using the PC to connect to the switch and made the switch part of your network, you can reconfigure the PC to its original IP address configuration and physical configuration as part of your network.
STEP 12 You are now ready to proceed with additional switch configuration.

NOTE If you will be using this PC for further switch configuration, it will need to be on the same subnet as the switch.
Using a Dynamic IP Address Allocated to the Switch By DHCP
If this method of obtaining an IP address is used, you will need to have access to a configuration device that would allow you to see what IP addresses the DHCP server allocates. Prior to choosing this method of installation, speak with your network administrator to ensure you will have the correct information available to you.
NOTE By default, the IP address of the device is assigned dynamically.
Log on to the DHCP server and check the IP address corresponding to the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the switch. On the 24 and 48 port models, the MAC address is on the back panel of the switch next to the power adapter. On the 8 port models, the MAC address is on the bottom of the device. The illustration below shows a MAC address of 00211BFE7218.
Once you have the correct IP address that has been assigned to the switch, you can begin configuring the switch.
STEP 1 Open a web browser. Cisco recommends Internet Explorer version 6 or higher, or Firefox version 3 or higher.
Enter the IP address that has been assigned to the switch in the address bar and press Enter. The Log In page opens:

Using the Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA)
NOTE To perform an installation using CCA, you must have a PC with Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows XP, Service Pack 1 or later installed and CCA version 2.2 or higher installed.
The Cisco Configuration Assistant can be used to connect to and configure the switch when there is an existing or new Smart Business Communications System (SBCS) or with other Cisco Small Business Pro products such as the SA 500 Series Security Appliance or the AP 541 Access Point. The ESW 500 series switch obtains the management IP address via DHCP after it is connected to the network.
To begin installing the switch using CCA, perform the following steps:
