• In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch by using the
command-line interface (CLI). If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password.
• In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric
characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the
Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter the Telnet password.
• In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Enable SNMP only
if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks 2000 or another SNMP-based network-management
system.
• If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field, the SNMP Write
Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects. Embedded spaces are
not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP
information, but you cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write community, you can both access and
modify SNMP information.
• In the System Contact and System Location fields, enter a contact name and the wiring closet, floor, or building
where the switch is located.
(Optional) You can enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on the switch, which requires that your switch is
Step 14
running IP advanced services software. From the Advanced Settings tab, check the Enable IPv6 check box. Enabling
IPv6 restarts the switch after you complete Express Setup.
Step 15
To complete Express Setup, click Submit from the Basic Settings or the Advanced Settings tab to save your settings
(clicking Cancel clears your settings).
When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC displays a warning message
and 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.
Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See the "Managing the
Step 16
Switch" section on page 8 for information about configuring and managing the switch.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the "Resetting the Switch" section on page 18.
Refreshing the PC IP Address
After you complete Express Setup, you should refresh the PC IP address.
For a dynamically assigned IP address, disconnect the PC from the switch, and reconnect it to the network. The network
DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the PC.
For a statically assigned IP address, change it to the previously configured IP address.

Managing the Switch
After you complete Express Setup and install the switch in your network, use the device manager or other management options
described in this section for further configuration.
Using the Device Manager
You can manage the switch by using the device manager that is in the switch memory. You can access the device manager from
anywhere in your network through a web browser.
1. Open a web browser.
2. Enter the switch IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The device manager page appears.
3. Use the device manager to perform basic switch configuration and monitoring. Refer to the device manager online help for
more information.
4. For more advanced configuration, install Cisco Network Assistant as described in the next section.
