 3 Running Express Setup
When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This
enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch through
the IP address for further configuration.
To run Express Setup:

Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.

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.
Step 2 Power the switch by connecting the supplied AC power cord to the switch power
connector and to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 3 When the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the
LEDs blink while tests verify that the switch functions properly.
Wait for the switch to complete POST, which can take several minutes.
Step 4 Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the SYST LED remains green. If the
switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber.
POST errors are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your
switch fails POST.
Step 5 Press and hold the Mode button for
3 seconds. When all of the LEDs left
of the Mode button turn green, 1 2 3

release the Mode button.

 Step 10 Enter this information in the Network Settings fields:
• In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1. Enter a new VLAN ID
only if you want to change the management interface through which you manage the
switch. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001.
• In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the switch. In the IP Subnet Mask field,
click the drop-down arrow, and select an IP Subnet Mask.
• In the Default Gateway field, enter the IP address for the default gateway (router).
• Enter your password in the Switch Password field. The password can be from 1 to 25
alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows embedded
spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Switch
Password field, enter your password again.
Step 11 (Optional) You can enter the Optional Settings information now or enter it later by using
the device manager interface:
• In the Host Name field, enter a name for the switch. The host name is limited to 31
characters. Embedded spaces are not allowed.
• Enter the date, time, and time zone information in the System Date, System Time, and
Time Zone fields. Click Enable to enable daylight saving time.
Step 12 (Optional) Click the Advanced Settings tab on the Express Setup window, and enter the
advanced settings now or enter them later by using the device manager interface.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Step 13 (Optional) Enter this information in the Advanced Setting fields:
• 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.
Step 14 (Optional) You can enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on the switch. From the
Advanced Settings tab, check the Enable IPv6 check box.

Note Enabling IPv6 restarts the switch when 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, or click Cancel to clear 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.
Step 16 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See
the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about configuring and
managing the switch.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 24.

 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.

4 Managing the Switch

After completing Express Setup and installing 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. This is a web

twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable when

you connect to other switches, hubs, or

Step 2 Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 connector on the other device.

The fixed ports on the Catalyst 3560 Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches provide PoE support for
devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and also provide Cisco pre-standard PoE support for Cisco
IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
Each of the Catalyst 3560-24PS switch 10/100 ports or the Catalyst 3560G-24PS switch 10/100/1000
ports can deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE. On the Catalyst 3560-48PS or 3560G-48PS switches, any 24
of the 48 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ports can deliver 15.4 W of PoE, or any combination of the ports
can deliver an average of 7.7 W of PoE at the same time, up to a maximum switch power output of
370 W.
By default, a Catalyst 3560 switch PoE port automatically provides power when a valid powered
device is connected to it. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch
software configuration guide. For information about troubleshooting PoE problems, see the Catalyst
3560 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com.

Note For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX)
feature is enabled by default on the switch. With auto-MDIX enabled, the switch detects the
required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly.
Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
switch 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end
of the connection.

 Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
For information about using the SFP module port, see the “Installing an SFP Module and Connecting
to a Module Port” section on page 21.
Follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert either an RJ-45 connector to the

10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module 5x

configurable.

Step 2 Insert the other cable end into the other device.

Verifying Port Connectivity

After you connect to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link.
This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green when the switch and the target
device have an established link. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might
be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See the
“In Case of Difficulty” section on page 23 for information about online assistance.

 7 In Case of Difficulty
If you experience difficulty, help is available here and on Cisco.com. This section includes Express
Setup troubleshooting, how to reset the switch, how to access help online, and where to find more
information.

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 If not, make sure that only the SYST and STAT
before starting Express Setup? LEDs are green before pressing the Mode button
to enter the Express Setup mode.

• Did you press the Mode button while the If yes, wait until POST completes. Power cycle the
switch was still running POST? switch. Wait until POST completes. Confirm that
the SYST and STAT LEDs are green. Press the
Mode button to enter Express Setup mode.

• Did you try to continue without confirming Verify that all LEDs left of the Mode button are
that the switch was in Express Setup mode? green. (On some models, the RPS LED is off.) If
necessary, press the Mode button to enter Express
Setup mode.

• Does your PC have a static IP address? If yes, change your PC settings to temporarily use
DHCP before connecting to the switch.

• Did you connect a crossover cable instead of If yes, connect a straight-through cable to an
a straight-through Ethernet cable between a Ethernet port on the switch and the PC. Wait 30
switch port and the Ethernet port of the PC? seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in the browser.

• Did you connect the Ethernet cable to the If yes, disconnect from the console port. Connect
console port instead of to a 10/100 or to an Ethernet port on the switch and the PC.

address in your browser?

• Did you enter the wrong address in the If yes, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press
browser, or is there an error message? Enter.

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 the wrong
IP address.
• You want to clear all configuration from the switch and assign a new IP address.
• You are trying to enter Express Setup mode, and the switch LEDs start blinking when you press
the Mode button, which means that the switch is already configured with IP information.

Caution Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

To reset the switch, press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 3
seconds. Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after 7 more seconds, and
then the switch reboots.
The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can enter the switch IP information by using
Express Setup as described in the “Running Express Setup” section on page 5.

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business
operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the
situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and
Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore
service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
