Managing the Switch
After completing Express Setup and installing the switch in your network, you can use these options for
configuration:
• Device Manager
• Cisco Network Assistant
• Command-Line Interface
• Other Management Options
Step 12
Click Submit to save your changes and to complete the initial setup.
After you click Submit:
• The switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode.
• The browser displays a warning message and tries to connect with the earlier switch IP address. Typically,
connectivity between the PC or laptop and the switch is lost because the configured switch IP address is in a
different subnet from the IP address on the PC or laptop.
For more information about Express Setup fields, see the online help for the Express Setup window.
Step 13
Disconnect the switch from the PC or laptop, and install the switch in your network. See the “Installing the Switch”
section on page 10.
Step 14
If you changed the static IP address on your PC or laptop in Step 2, change it to the previously configured static
IP address.
Step 15
See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 7 for information about configuring and managing the switch.
Step 16
To display Device Manager:
1. Start a web browser on your PC or laptop.
2. Enter the switch IP address, username, and password assigned in Step 9 in the browser, and press Enter.
The Device Manager page appears.
Troubleshooting:
If Device Manager does not appear:
• Confirm that the port LED for the switch port connected to your network is green.
• Confirm that the PC or laptop that you are using has network connectivity by connecting it to a well-known web
server in your network. If there is no network connection, troubleshoot the network settings on the PC or laptop.
• Make sure that the switch IP address in the browser is correct.
• If the switch IP address in the browser is correct, the switch interface LED is green, and the PC or laptop has
network connectivity, continue troubleshooting by reconnecting the PC or laptop to the switch. Configure a
static IP address on the PC or laptop that is in the same subnet as the switch IP address.
When the LED on the switch port connected to the PC or laptop is green, reenter the IP address of the switch in a
browser to display Device Manager. When Device Manager appears, you can continue with the configuration.
