Getting Started
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

Launching the Configuration Utility

To open the web-based configuration utility:
STEP 1 Open a Web browser. STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the browser, and
then press Enter.
NOTE When the device is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, its system LED
flashes continuously. When the device is using a DHCP-assigned IP address or an administrator-configured static IP address, the system LED is on solid.
On the SG350XG and the SG550XG, the default IP address 192.168.1.254 is configured to the OOB port of the device, while on the other devices it is configured on the default VLAN (Vlan
1). To access the device with the IP address configured on the OOB port, make sure the OOB port is connected to your network or PC.

Logging In

The default username/password is cisco/cisco. The first time that you log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter a new password.
NOTE If you have not previously selected a language for the GUI, the language of the Login page is
determined by the language(s) requested by your browser and the lang uages configured on your device. If your browser requests Chinese, for example, and Chinese has been loaded into your device, the Login page is automatically displayed in Chinese. If Chinese has not been loaded into your device, the Login page appears in English.
The languages loaded into the device have a language and country code (en-US, en-GB and so on). For the Login page to be automatically displayed in a particular language, based on the browser request, both the language and country code of the browser request must match those of the language loaded on the device. If the browser request contains only the language code without a country code (for example: fr). The first embedded language with a matching language code is taken (without matching the country code, for example: fr_CA).
Cisco Sx350, SG350X, SG350XG, Sx550X & SG550XG Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.2.5.x 9
Getting Started
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
To log in to the device configuration utility:
STEP 1 Enter the username/password. The password can contain up to 64 ASCII characters.
Password-complexity rules are described in Password Strength.
STEP 2 If you are not using English, select the desired language fr om the Lan guage dro p-down menu.
To add a new language to the device or update a current one, see the description of the Language Menu described in Application Header.
STEP 3 If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (cisco) and the default
password (cisco) or your password has expired, the Change Password Page appears. See
Password Expiration for additional information.
STEP 4 Choose whether to select Password Complexity Settings in the Password Strength page. STEP 5 Enter the new password and click Apply.
When the login attempt is successful, the Getting Started page appears.
1
If you entered an incorrect username or password, an error message appears and the Login page remains displayed on the window.
Select Don't show this page on startup to prevent the Getting Started page from being displayed each time that you log on to the system. If you select this option, the System
Summary page is opened instead of the Getting Started page.

HTTP/HTTPS

You can either open an HTTP session (not secured) by clicking Log In, or you can open an HTTPS (secured) session, by clicking Secure Browsing (HTTPS). You are asked to approve the logon with a default RSA key, and an HTTPS session is opened.
NOTE There is no need to input the username/password prior to clicking the Secure Browsing
(HTTPS) button. For information on how to configure HTTPS, see SSL Server.

Password Expiration

The New Password page is displayed in the following cases:
• The first time that you access the device with the default username cisco and password
cisco. This page forces you to replace the factory default password.

Getting Started

Out-Of-Band Port

• When the password expires, this page forces you to select a new password.

Logging Out

By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity. You can change this default value as described in the Defining Idle Session Timeout section.
!
CAUTION Unless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration, rebooting the device
removes all changes made since the last time the file was saved. Save the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration before log ging off to preserve any changes you made during this session.
A flashing red X icon to the left of the Save application link indicates that Running Configuration changes have not yet been saved to the Startup Configuration file. The flashing can be disabled by clicking on the Disable Save Icon Blinking button on the Copy/Save Configuration page
Out-Of-Band Port
When the device auto-discovers a connected device, such as an IP phone (see What is a
Smartport), and it configures the port appropriately for the device. These configuration
commands are written to the Running Configuration file. This causes the Save icon to begin blinking when the you log on, even though you did not make any configuration changes.
When you click Save, the Copy/Save Configuration page appears. Save the Running Configuration file by copying it to the Startup Configuration file. After this save, the red X icon and the Save application link are no longer displayed.
To logout, click Logout in the top right corner of any page. The system logs out of the device. When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message is displayed and
the Login page appears, with a message indicating the logged-out state. After you log in, the application returns to the initial page.
The initial page displayed depends on the “Do not show this page on startup” option in the Getting Started page. If you did not select this option, the initial page is the Getting Started page. If you did select this option, the initial page is the System Summary page.
NOTE OOB is only supported on SG350XG and SG550XG devices.
Cisco Sx350, SG350X, SG350XG, Sx550X & SG550XG Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.2.5.x 11
Getting Started
Out-Of-Band Port
1
The switch supports an Out-of-Band (OOB) port. This port is used for the management network. The out-of-band and the in-band ports share the same IP routing table, therefore you cannot use the same subnet on both in-band and out-of-band interfaces.
The OOB port is assigned an MAC address which is different from the base MAC address and the addresses of the in-band ports. This MAC address is used as the source MAC address in all frames (including IP frames) sent by the switch on the
OOB port. The IP address assigned to this port cannot be assigned to the in-band ports at the same time.
In addition, the IP address assigned to the OOB port must not belong to any IP subnet configured at the in-band interfaces of the devices.
By default, the OOB port is configured with the default IP address 192.168.1.254. This default IP address is used when no other address was assigned (dynamically or statically). This sub net is a reserved one and cannot be assigned on the in-band interfaces.

Bridging

Bridging between the OOB port and the in-band Layer 2 interfaces is not supported. The OOB port cannot be a member of VLAN or LAG, and the bridge’s protocols (for example, STP, GVRP, etc.) cannot be enabled on the OOB port.
Only untagged traffic is supported on the OOB port.

Port Configuration

The following Ethernet configuration is supported for the OOB port:
• Speed (10/100/1000)
• Duplex
• Auto-negotiation

DHCP Client

DHCP client (IPv4 and IPv6) is en abled by default on th e OOB port and on the default VLAN.

Static route on OOB port

Static routes are supported on the OOB port.

Getting Started

USB Port

IPv4 Address on OOB port

Only one IPv4 address can be defined on the OOB port. The default static IP address is set only on the OOB.

IP Applications

All IP applications, such as telnet, SSH, except for the following ones are supported on the OOB port:
• ARP Proxy
• Routing protocols
• Relay applications (DHCP, DHCPv6 and UDP)
USB Port

QoS & ACL

QoS and ACL are not supported on the OOB port (so all TCAM-based features like DOS Attack Prevention are also not supported).
Only Management ACLs are supported.

Stack Support

The OOB port name is always mapped to the physical OOB port of master unit. The physical OOB ports of slaves are not functional and will not establish a link when connected to a neighbor device or PC.
The USB port can be used for connecting external storage (disk-on-key) devices. It can hold configuration, SYSLOG and image files. In a stack, only the master’s USB port is active. The USB port fully supports the F AT32 file system, and provides partial support (read only) for the NTFS file system.
Both relative path or fully qualified paths can be used. The system supports the following user actions on the USB port through the GUI:
• Display the USB contents
Cisco Sx350, SG350X, SG350XG, Sx550X & SG550XG Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.2.5.x 13
Getting Started

Basic or Advanced Display Mode

• Copy files to/from USB (the same as with TFTP)
• Delete, rename and display the contents of USB files
Basic or Advanced Display Mode
The product supports many features, and therefore the WEB GUI includes hundreds of configuration and display pages. These pages are divided into the following display modes:
• Basic—Basic subset of configuration options are available. If you are missing some
configuration option, select the Advanced mode in the device header.
• Advanced—Full set of configuration options are available.
Navigate from one mode to another, as shown below:
1
When the user switches from basic to advanced, the browser reloads the page. However, after reload, the user stays on the same page.
When the user switches from advanced to basic, the browser reloads the page. If the page exists also on the basic mode, the user stays on the same page. If the page does not exist in the basic mode, the browser will load the first page of the folder which was used by the user . If the folder does not exist, the Getting Started page will be displayed.
If there is advanced configuration, and the page is loaded in basic mode, a page-level message will be displayed to the user (e.g. there are 2 radius server configured but in basic mode only a single server can be displayed, or there is 802.1X port authentication with time range configured but time range is not visible in basic mode).
When switching from one mode to another, any configuration which was made on the page (without Apply) is deleted.
