Configuring the Switch
Before you Begin: If your PC has a static IP address, change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.
Step 1
Verify that no devices are connected to the switch. Initially, the switch acts as a DHCP server.
Step 2
Confirm that the STAT LED is solid green. This indicates that POST is complete. If the STAT LED turns amber, the
device failed POST. Reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power connector of your device and to a grounded AC
outlet. If the STAT LED still does not turn green, contact your Cisco representative or retailer.
Step 3
Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. When all of the LEDs above the Mode button turn green, release the
Mode button immediately.
Caution: If the LEDs next to the Mode button blink green, release the button. Blinking green LEDs indicate that the
device is already in Setup mode. Continuing to hold the Mode button after the LEDs have turned green, exits the Setup
mode.
Step 4
Connect a straight-through Category 5 Ethernet cable to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the switch front panel and to the
Ethernet port on the PC.
Step 5
Verify that the port LEDs on the PC and on your device are solid green or blinking green. This indicates a successful
connection.
Step 6
Wait 30 seconds.
Step 7
To log on to the device using an Internet browser on your PC, type the IP address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.3 in the address bar
of your Internet browser and press Enter.
Step 8
Type the following default credentials: username: cisco, password: cisco and press Enter.
The Configuration Setup wizard is displayed. Click Go to Wizard.
