Insert the other cable end in an LC port on the target device.
Observe the port status LED.
The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established
link.
The LED turns amber while STP discovers the network topology and searches for
loops. This process can take about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable
problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target
device. See Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting,"
Reconfigure and restart the target device, if necessary.
Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to connect each port.
If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further
configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default
configuration:
Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage
•
individual and standalone switches. The device manager 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.
For more information, see the device manager online help.
• Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting
Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide on Cisco.com. Through this GUI,
you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an individual switch.
Use the CLI from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster
•
or as an individual switch. See the Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 Switch
Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955
Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI
with a Catalyst 2955 switch.
Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.
