Step 18

Step 19

To complete Express Setup, click Submit in the Network Settings or the Advanced Settings screen to save your settings. 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 then 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. If you enabled IPv6, the switch restarts.

Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 8 for information about configuring and managing the switch.

If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 23.

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 the PC 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.

4 Managing the Switch

After you complete Express Setup and install the switch in your network, use the device manager or other management options described in this section for further configuration.

Using the Device Manager

The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in the switch memory. This is a web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.

2. Enter the switch IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The device manager page appears.

3. Use the device manager to perform basic switch configuration and monitoring. Refer to the device

manager online help for more information.

4. For more advanced configuration, download and run the Cisco Network Assistant, which is described in the next section.

8

Downloading Cisco Network Assistant

Cisco Network Assistant is a software program that you download from Cisco.com and run on your PC. It offers advanced options for configuring and monitoring multiple devices, including switches, switch clusters, switch stacks, routers, and access points. Network Assistant is free—there is no charge to download, install, or use it.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to this Web address: http://www.cisco.com/go/NetworkAssistant.

You must be a registered Cisco.com user, but you need no other access privileges.

2. Find the Network Assistant installer.

3. Download the Network Assistant installer, and run it. (You can run it directly from the Web if

your browser offers this choice.)

4. When you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. In the final panel, click Finish to complete the Network Assistant installation.

Refer to the Network Assistant online help and the getting started guide for more information.

Command-Line Interface

You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI by connecting your PC directly to the switch console port or to the Ethernet management port.

Using the switch console port:

Follow these steps:

1. Connect the supplied RJ-45-to DB-9 adapter cable to the standard 9-pin serial port on the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the switch.

2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.

3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,

and no flow control.

4. Use the CLI to enter commands to configure the switch. See the software configuration guide and the command reference for more information.

9

Using the switch Ethernet management port:

Follow these steps:

1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable to the PC Ethernet port. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet management port on the switch rear panel.

2. Start a Telnet session on the PC.

3. Enter the switch IP address that you assigned by using Express Setup.

4. Use the CLI to enter commands to configure the switch. See the software configuration guide and

the command reference for more information.

Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution (SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.

The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) agents in the switch software. You can use IE2100 to automate initial configurations and configuration updates on the switch.
