Chapter 1 Getting Started Guide Running Express Setup 1-4Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide OL-9368-03 Running Express SetupWhen you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. 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. To run Express Setup: Step 1Verify that no devices are connected to the switc h, because during Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, before you begin, you should change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP. Step 2Connect the AC power cord to the switch and to a grounded AC outlet. The power-on self-test (POST) begins. During POST, the LEDs blink while a series of tests ve rify that the switch functions properly. LED behavior during POST is unpredictable and might vary. Step 3Wait for the switch to complete POST. It might ta ke several minutes for the switch to complete POST. Step 4Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED rapidly blinks green. If the switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber. POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Sy stems immediately if yo ur switch fails POST. Step 5Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. When all of the LEDs above the Mode button turn green, release the Mode button. If the LEDs above the Mode button begin to blink after you press the button, release it. Blinking LEDs mean that the switch has already been configured and cannot go into Express Setup mode. For more information, see the fiResetting the Switchfl section on page 1-19 .Step 6Verify that the switch is in Express Setup mode by confirming that all LEDs above the Mode button are green. (The redundant power system (RPS) and Power over Ethernet (PoE) LEDs remain off on some models.) Mode button 135015SYSTRPSSTATDUPLXSPEEDMODE1X11X1X 2X 11X12X

1-7Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide OL-9368-03 Chapter 1 Getting Started GuideRunning Express Setup Step 11Enter 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 and to which you assign IP information. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001. †In the IP Address field, enter the IP addr ess of the switch. In the IP Subnet Mask field, click the drop-down arrow, and select an IP 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 num ber, 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. Step 12(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. †In the System Contact field, enter the name of the person responsible for the switch. In the System Location field, enter the wiring closet, floor, or building where the switch is located. †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, enter the Telnet password again. †In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Enable SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks2000 or another SNMP-based network-management system. If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field, the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP information, but cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write community, you can access and modify SNMP information.

Chapter 1 Getting Started Guide Managing the Switch 1-8Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide OL-9368-03 Refreshing the PC IP AddressAfter 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 it to the network. The network DHCP server will assign a new IP address to the PC. For a statically assigned IP address, ch ange it to the previously configured IP address. Managing the SwitchAfter completing Express Setup and installing the switch in your network, use the device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, or another of the management options described in this section for further configuration. Using the Device ManagerThe simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in the switch memory. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. Step 13Click Submit to save your settings, or 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 attempts to connect with the new switch IP address. If you configured the switch with an IP address that is in a differ ent subnet from the PC, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost. Step 14Disconnect the switch from the PC, and inst all the switch in your network. See the fiManaging the Switchfl section on page 1-8 for information about configuring and managing the switch. If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the fiResetting the Switchfl section on page 1-19 .
