Troubleshooting Express Setup
If Express Setup does not run, or if the Express Setup page does not appear in your browser:
• Did you verify that POST successfully ran
before starting Express Setup?
• Did you press the Mode button while the
switch module was still running POST?
• Did the switch module not power up?
• Did you try to continue without confirming
that the switch module was in Express Setup
mode?
• Does your PC have a static IP address?
• Did you connect a crossover cable instead of
a straight-through Ethernet cable between a
switch module port and the Ethernet port of
the PC?
• Did you connect the Ethernet cable to the
console port instead of to an Ethernet port
on the switch module?
