3 Running Express Setup
When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information.
Doing this enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the
switch through the IP address for further configuration.
You need this equipment to set up the switch:
• A PC with Windows 2000 or XP installed
• A web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, Netscape 7.1 or later) with JavaScript enabled
• A straight-through or crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the switch
Disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in your browser software and any wireless client
running on your PC.
As an example, the Express Setup illustrations show the Catalyst 3560E-48 PoE switch. You can run
Express Setup on all Catalyst 3560-E switch models.
To run Express Setup:

The Express Setup Basic Settings page appears. If it does not appear, see the “In Case of
Difficulty” section on page 19.
Enter this information in the Network Settings fields:
• In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1. Enter a new VLAN ID
only if you want to change the management interface through which you manage the
switch. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001.
• In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the switch. In the Subnet Mask field, click
the drop-down arrow, and select a Subnet Mask.
• In the Default Gateway field, enter the IP address for the default gateway (router).
• Enter your password in the Switch Password field. The password can be from 1 to 25
alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows embedded
spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Switch
Password field, enter your password again.
(Optional) Enter this information in the Ethernet Management Port Settings fields:
In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the Ethernet management port. In the Subnet
Mask field, click the drop-down arrow, and select a Subnet Mask.
(Optional) You can enter the Optional Settings information now or enter it later by using
the device manager interface:
• In the Host Name field, enter a name for the switch. The host name is limited to 31
characters; embedded spaces are not allowed.

(Optional) You can select the Advanced Settings tab on the Express Setup window and enter
the advanced settings now or enter them later by using the device manager interface.
(Optional) Enter this information in the Advanced Setting fields:
• In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the
switch by using the command-line interface (CLI). If you enable Telnet access, you must
enter a Telnet password.
• In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to
25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not
allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter the

Step 18
Step 19
To complete Express Setup, click Submit in the Network Settings or the Advanced Settings
window 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 20.
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.
