Stacking the Switches
Before setting up stacked switches in your network, see the
Managing Stacking
chapter in the
SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide
.
Switches can operate in two different modes, Stack mode and Stand-Alone
mode. In Stack mode, a switch operates as a member of an organized group of
switches known as a stack. A stack consists of one Stack Master control switch,
one Master Backup switch and Stack Member switches. A total of 192 ports can
be integrated in a stack. You cannot mix GE and FE switches in a stack.
N
OTE
By default, a switch is in stack mode and the Unit ID
assignment is Auto. A stacking port functions as a regular
ethernet port when the switch is in Stand-Alone mode, or if
it is replaced by another stacking port through configuration

If you manually assign a Unit ID to one unit, you should manually assign Unit IDs
to
all
units. Using both system-assigned and manually-assigned IDs in your
network can impact system performance.
Changing the stacking mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch.
The following diagrams illustrate the SFE and the SGE devices in a stack:

Perform the steps in this section to connect devices to the switch.
S
1
Connect devices such as a PC, IP Phone, Access Point, or a Server
TEP
to one of the numbered ports on the switch using an Ethernet cable.
S
2
Connect uplink devices, such as a Cisco Small Business RV082,
TEP
WRVS4400N, or another type of router to one of the uplink ports on the
switch using an Ethernet cable.

Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5E or better cable. When
OTE
you connect your network devices, make sure you don't exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
S

If you are using the mini-GBIC port, insert the mini-GBIC module to the
TEP
mini-GBIC port. For more instructions about the mini-GBIC module,
see the instructions that came with the module.
S
4
If required, power on the devices connected to the switch. The
TEP
corresponding LED for each active port will light up on the switch.

You are now ready to begin configuring the switch. For details, refer to
the
SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide
.

Getting Started with the
Configuration
This section contains information for starting to provision the switch features.
The switch can be configured in three ways — over IP using the embedded
Web GUI, over IP using Telnet (simple configuration and diagnostics), and using
the console port.
The default static IP address is 192. 1 68. 1 .254 and the default management
VLAN for the static IP address is VLAN 1. The default user name is
admin
and
the default password is
admin
.
To configure the switch over IP with Web GUI and Telnet:
S
1
Connect a PC to any of the non-stacking ethernet ports with an
TEP
Ethernet cable.
S
2
Open a web browser. Cisco recommends Internet Explorer version 7
TEP
or later, or FireFox version 3. If you are prompted to install an Active-X
plugin when connecting to the switch, follow the prompts to accept the
plugin.
S
3
Enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar and press Enter.
TEP
For example, if the switch is using the default IP address, enter http://
192. 1 68. 1 .254. The
Login Page
opens.
S
TEP
4
Enter a user name and password. Passwords are both case sensitive
and alpha-numeric.
S
5
Click Login. The
Switch Configuration Utility System Dashboard
TEP
Window appears.
You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the
SFE/SGE
Managed Switch Administration Guide
for further information.
To configure the switch by using the console port:
S
1
Connect a PC to the switch console port using the console port
TEP
cable provided.
S
TEP
2
Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the PC.
S
3
Configure the utility with the following parameters:
TEP
115200 bits per second
•
8 data bits
•
•
no parity
•
1 stop bit
•
no flow control
S
4
Enter a user name and password. Passwords are both case sensitive
TEP
and alpha-numeric.
SFE/SGE
You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the
Managed Switch Administration Guide
for further information.
