3 Running Express Setup

When you firstset up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. Youcanthen access the switch through the IP address for further configuration.

To run Express Setup:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch. During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address,

change your PC settings before you begin to temporarily use DHCP. Power the switch by connecting the supplied AC power cord to the switch power

connector and to a grounded AC outlet. When the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the

LEDs blink while tests verify that the switch functions properly. Wait for the switch to complete POST, which can take several minutes. Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED remains green. If the

switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber. POST errors are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your

switch fails POST. Press and hold the Mode button for

3 seconds. When all of the LEDs left of the Mode button turn green, release the Mode button.

If the LEDs left of the Mode button begin to blink after you press the button, release it. Blinking LEDs

Note Enabling IPv6 restarts the switch when you complete Express Setup.

Step 15

Step 16

To complete Express Setup, click Submit from the Basic Settings or the Advanced Settings tab to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.

When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC displays a warning message and tries to connect with the new switch IP address. If you configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost.

Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about configuring and managing the switch.

If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 24.

Refreshing the PC IP Address

After you complete Express Setup, you should refresh the PC IP address. For a dynamically assigned IP address, disconnect the PC from the switch, and reconnect it to the

network. The network DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the PC. For a statically assigned IP address, change it to the previously configured IP address.
