  • Page 3: Running Express Setup

    Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in your browser software and any wireless client running on your PC. 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.

  • Page 5: Refreshing The Pc Ip Address

    When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC displays a warning message and then tries to connect with the new switch IP address. If you configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost.

  • Page 6: Managing The Switch

    Using the Device Manager The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager in the switch memory. This web interface offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser.

    Cabling Guidelines These illustrations show the recommended switch stack configurations with redundant stack cabling connections for optimized stack bandwidth. For more configuration examples, see the hardware installation guide on Cisco.com. In this example, the stack uses the 0.5-meter stack cable to make redundant connections.

    – • Confirm that you have access to the switch rear panel to connect the optional RPS 2300 or the RPS 675. If you do not have access to the rear panel, you should cable the switches before you rack-mount them.

    Before Attaching the Brackets To install the switch in a rack, you must first remove the screws from the switch chassis so that the mounting brackets can be attached. For attachment at the front-mounting position remove one Phillips truss-head screw from the switch side panels. For attachment at the mid-mounting position, remove two screws.

    Secure the screws tightly. Insert the other end of the cable into the connector of the other switch, and secure the screws tightly. Always use a Cisco-approved stack cable to connect the switches. Connect only Catalyst 2975 switches in a switch stack. The Catalyst 2975 switch does not support mixed stack configurations.

    Verify Port Connectivity After you connect a device to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds. Then the LED turns green when the switch and the attached device have an established link. If the LED is off, the device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the device.

    Resetting the Switch This section describes how to reset the switch by rerunning Express Setup. These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch: • You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned an incorrect IP address.
