Cisco IE 3010 Switch Getting Started Guide

About this Guide

This guide describes how to use Express Setup to initially configure your Cisco IE 3010 switch. It also covers switch management options, rack-mounting, wiring procedures, port and module connection procedures, and troubleshooting.

For additional installation and configuration information for the switch, see the Cisco IE 3010 switch documentation on Cisco.com. For system requirements, important notes, limitations, open and resolved bugs, and last-minute documentation updates, see the release notes, also on Cisco.com. For translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco IE 3010 Switch on the documentation CD. The product warranty information is on the documentation CD.

When using the online publications, see the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version running on the switch.

Running Express Setup

You should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. You can then access the switch through the IP address for further configuration.

Note To use the CLI-based initial setup program, see Appendix C, “Configuring the

Switch with the CLI Setup Program,” in the switch hardware guide.

You need this equipment:

• PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003

• Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, or Firefox 1.5, 2.0, or later) with

JavaScript enabled

• Straight-through or crossover Category 5 or 6 cable

Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on

your browser and any wireless client running on your PC.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

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, temporarily configure your PC settings to use DHCP.

Note Write down the static IP address. You need this address in Step 12.

Connect the wires to the switch power-input terminal.

See the “Wiring the Power Source” section on

page 16 for instructions about AC- or

DC-power connections.

Step 4

Step 5

Approximately 45 seconds after the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), which can take up to 5 minutes.

During POST, the SYSTEM LED blinks green, and the port LEDs turn green.

When POST is complete, the SYSTEM LED remains green, and the other LEDs turn off.

Troubleshooting

If the SYSTEM LED blinks green, does not turn green, or turns amber, contact your Cisco representative or reseller. The switch failed POST.

Press the recessed Express Setup button with a simple tool, such as a paper clip.

You might need to press the button for 3 seconds.

When you press the Express Setup button, a switch 10/100 Ethernet port LED blinks green.

Troubleshooting

If a switch port LED does not blink green, repeat Steps 1 to 5. You can also use the setup program described in the switch hardware guide.

Step 6

Connect a Category 5 or 6 cable to the blinking 10/100 Ethernet port.

Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on your PC.

Wait until the port LEDs on the switch and your PC or laptop are either green or blinking green. Green LEDs mean a successful connection.

Troubleshooting

If the port LEDs are not green after about 30 seconds, make sure that:

• You connected the Ethernet cable to the

blinking 10/100 Ethernet port (not to an uplink port such as the dual-purpose port).

• You are using a Category 5 or 6 cable and

that the cable is not damaged.

• The other device is turned on.

You can ping IP address 169.254.0.1 to verify the connection.

Step 7

Start a browser session on the PC, open a well-known website, such as Cisco.com. The switch prompts you for the default username and password. At the prompt, enter the default username and password cisco.

The Express Setup window appears.

Troubleshooting

If the Express Setup window does not appear, make sure that any browser pop-up blockers or proxy settings are disabled and that any wireless client on your PC or laptop is disabled.

Step 8

Step 9

Enter this information in the Network Settings fields:

Note All entries must be in English letters.

• In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1.

Note We recommend that you use the default VLAN value. During Express Setup,

VLAN 1 is the only VLAN on the switch. 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 Assignment Mode field, we recommend that you use the default, Static, which

means that the switch always has the IP address that you assign. Use the DHCP setting when you want the switch to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

• 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.

Note You must change the password from the default password, cisco.

Enter the Optional Settings now, or enter them later:

Step 10

You can enter other administrative settings in the Express Setup window. For example, the optional administrative settings identify and synchronize the switch for enhanced management. NTP synchronizes the switch clock with the network clock. You can also manually set the system clock settings.

Click Submit to save your changes.

For more information about the Express Setup fields, see the online help for the Express Setup window.

After you click Submit, these events occur:

• The switch is configured and leaves Express Setup mode.

• The browser displays a warning message and tries to connect with the earlier switch IP

address. Typically, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost because the configured switch IP address is in a different subnet from the PC IP address.
