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

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 before going to the next step. Note Write down the static IP address. You will need this IP address in Step 10. Power the switch: For switch models with an AC power connector ? Plug the AC power cord into the AC power connector and into an AC power outlet. For switch models with an AUX power connector ? Connect a 10/100/1000 uplink port to a PoE switch, such as a Catalyst 3750-X.

Or ? Plug the auxiliary power adapter cord into the AUX power connector and into an AC

power outlet. Note For more information on powering the switches, see the "Switch Installation" chapter

in the hardware guide.

Step 3

Approximately 30 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 other LEDs turn green.

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

Step 4

Troubleshooting:

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

Press and hold the Mode button until all of the LEDs next to the console port turn green. You might need to hold the button for 3 to 5 seconds.

The switch is now in Express Setup mode.

Before going to the next step, make sure that all LEDs next to the console port are green.

Troubleshooting:

If the LEDs blink after you press the Mode button, release it. Blinking LEDs mean that the switch is already configured and cannot go into Express Setup mode. For more information, see the "Resetting the Switch" section on page 21. You can also use the CLI setup program described in the switch hardware guide.
