Running Express Setup
Running Express Setup
Use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This action enables the switch to connect to local
routers and the Internet. You can access the switch through the IP address for further configuration.
Note To use the CLI-based initial setup program, see Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the
CLI-Based Setup Program,” in the switch hardware guide.
You need this equipment:
• PC or laptop with Windows Vista, XP, or 2000
• Browser (Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0) with JavaScript enabled
• Straight-through or crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable
Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in your browser and any
wireless client running on your PC or laptop.
Step 1
Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.
Step 2
During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC or laptop has a static IP address, temporarily
change your PC or laptop settings before you use DHCP.
Note Write down the static IP address. You will need this IP address in Step 14.
Step 3
Install the power supply modules. See the “Power Supply Installation” chapter in the Catalyst 3850 Switch Hardware
Installation Guide for instructions.
