Running Express Setup - Cisco Catalyst 3560 Getting Started Manual

Running Express Setup

When you use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information, the switch can then connect to local routers and the Internet.
For further configuration, you can access the switch through its IP address.
Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.
Step 1
During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, change your PC settings
before you begin to temporarily use DHCP.
Power the switch by connecting the AC power cord to the switch power connector and to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 2
For 8- and 12-port switches, see "Securing the AC Power Cord (Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-Port Switches)" section
on page 14.
When the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), and the LEDs blink.
Step 3
Wait for the switch to complete POST, which can take several minutes.
Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED is green.
Step 4
If the switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if this
happens.
Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds.
Step 5
When all LEDs above the Mode button are
green, release it.
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
"Resetting the Switch" section on page 18.
Step 6 Verify that the switch is in Express Setup mode by confirming that all LEDs above the Mode button are green.
(On some models, the RPS and PoE LEDs remain off.)
Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable to any
Step 7
10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the
switch front panel.
Connect the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet port on your DHCP-enabled PC.
Verify that the LEDs on both Ethernet ports are green.
Step 8
Wait 30 seconds.
Open a web browser, enter 10.0.0.1, and then
Step 9
press Enter.
