Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Pro ESW 500 Series Swit ch. The
ESW 500 series is a family of Ethernet switches that addresses network
infrastructure and access needs of small business customers for voic e, data, PCs,
Servers, and video applications. They are simple to deploy and manage for use
with IP phones, Acce ss 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 24- and 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:

• Using The Switch Console Port, page 48
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.
ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide 13
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 Switche s
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 ar e 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:

Ports
The switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network 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 por t 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, s ervers, IP phones and Acc ess Points., and are
highlighted RED in the examples.
These ports are typically used for connecting to other switches, routers,
or network backbone devices, and are highlighted in YELLOW in the
examples. The mini-GBIC ports are a type of uplink port.
The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) port is a connection point for
a mini-GBIC expansion module, allowing the switch to be uplinked via
fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC port provides a link to a highspeed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to
1000 Mbps. The mini-GBIC ports are highlighted in GREEN in the
examples.

Getting Started
Connecting to the Switch
Connecting to the Switch
This section contains information for starting the
provision the switch features. There are four different options to connect to the
switch, three of which launch the
Switch Configuration Utility.
Switch Configuration Utility
They are:
• Using the default static IP address of the switch
• Using Cisco Configuration As sistant
• 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 pro gram 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.
to
Using the Default Static IP Address
To start configuring the switch, follow these steps:
STEP1 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 addr ess 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.

Connecting to the Switch
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 C o ntrol (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.
STEP1 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

Defining the Bonjour Discovery Protocol
Bonjour is a service discovery protocol that enables automatic discovery of
computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour’s multicast Domain
Name System (mDNS) service allows the device to publish device services by
sending and receiving UDP packets only to the following multicast address
224.0.0.251 and to port number 5353.
ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide 68
Managing Device Information
Defining the Bonjour Discovery Protocol
The Bonjour screen contains information for enabling/disabling Bonjour on the
device, specifying a Service T ype and the related port used for publishing devices
over the network. A S e rvice Type is the type of service registration performed as
part of the device system start up. It is intended to assure the uniqueness of the
published service and proclaims the related information. The Service Types that
are provided for Bonjour are HTTP, HTTPS, and Cisco Config, a Cisco specific
Service Type.
To enable Bonjour on the device:
STEP1 Click Monitor & Device Properties > Bonjour. The
Bonjour Page

The Bonjour page contains the following fields:
• Enable Bonjour — Specifies whether the switch can publish device services
via Bonjour using the mDNS service. The p ossible field values are:

TCAM Utilization
The
Addressable Memory (TCAM) resources. TCAM is used for high-speed searching
and performs security, QoS, and other types of applications. In contrast with
binary CAM, TCAM allows a third matching state of X or Don’t Care bits in data
searches. The first two bit types are 0 and 1, adding more flexibility to searches.
However, the need to encode three possible states instead of two also adds
greater resource costs.
The maximum number of rules that may be allocated by all applications on the
device is 1024. Some applications allocate rules upon their initiation. Additionally,
applications that initialize during system boot use some of their rules during the

Managing Smart Ports
Managing Smart Ports
The Smart Ports wizards provide network managers with quick and simple
solution to configuring the devices by understanding and automatically
configuring the port settings for various network devices, including:
• Desktop — Allows network administrators to define settings for personal
desktop users.
• IP Phone and Desktop —Allows network administrators to define settings
between the switch and the IP Phone. This helps ensure proper network
management for voice traffic. The Smart Port IP Phone and Desktop wizard
allows network mangers to connect a phone and a PC.
• Access Point — Allows network administrators to manage the connection
between the device and wireless access points.
• Switch — Allows network administrators to manage network settings
between switches.
• Router — Allows network administrators to manage network settings
between routers.
• Guest — Allows network administrators to define a port that is connected
to a gue st.
• Server — Allows network administrators to define a port that is connected
to a server.
• Printer — Allows network administrators to define a port that is connected
to a printer.
• VS Camera — Allows network administrators to define a port that is
connected to a VS camera.
• Other — Allows network administrators to remove any previous Smart
ports configurations from a port.
ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide 72
Managing Smart Ports
Configuring Smart Ports for Desktops
NOTE By default, the user ports are configured as IP Phone + Desktop for PoE switches
and Desktop for non-PoE switches. For devices other than IP Phone and Desktop,
users need to configure the smartport role per device (e.g., switch, access point
etc.). A port will be deactivated or has degraded service by connecting a switch or
an access point to IP phone + desktop smartpor t respectively because of
mismatched port role.
For example, if the network administrator knows that ports 1-10 are access points
for a WLAN network, the Smart Ports Wizard is applied to the ports, and the ports
are configured with the most common settings for WLAN networks.
Note the following when using the Smart Ports wizard:
• During the Boot Process the Smart Port wizard commands are saved in the
Running Configuration file. This ensures that if the device is reset, the Smart
Port wizard settings are applied to the ports when the device restarts
• Ports are enabled for the Smart Port wizards by default. However, the initial
configuration of the Smart Ports wizards can only occur if the Startup
Configuration file is empty.
• If the network administrator modifies the port configuration manually, the Smart
ports Wizard may not operate corre ctly.

Configuring System Time
The device supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures
accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time
synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The device operates
only as an SNTP client, and cannot provide time se rvices to other systems.
This section provides information f or configuring the system time, and includes the
following topi cs:
