Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Getting Started Guide

Using Device Manager
The simplest way to manage the switch is by using Device Manager in the switch memory. This web interface offers quick configuration
and monitoring. You can access Device Manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser.
Procedure
Step 1
Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.
Step 2
Enter the switch IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The Device Manager page appears.
Step 3
Use Device Manager to perform basic switch configuration and monitoring. See the Device Manager online help for more
information.
Step 4
For a more advanced configuration, download and run Cisco Network Assistant, which is described in the next section.
Using Cisco Network Assistant
Cisco Network Assistant is a software program that you download from Cisco.com and run on your PC. It offers advanced options
for configuring and monitoring multiple devices, including switches, switch clusters, switch stacks, routers, and access points. Cisco
Network Assistant is free—there is no charge to download, install, or use it.

Procedure
Step 1
Click the Download Software link, and select the version that you want to download.
You must be a registered Cisco.com user, but you need no other access privileges.
Step 2
Find the Network Assistant installer.
Step 3
Download the Network Assistant installer and run it. (You can run it directly from the Web if your browser offers this
choice.)
Step 4
When you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. In the final panel, click Finish to complete the Network
Assistant installation.
See the Network Assistant online help and the getting started guide for more information.
Using the Command-Line Interface
You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI by using one of these options.
