10 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches
CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes are saved before 
exiting by issuing the command: 
copy running-config startup-config
You are ready to configure the switch. Refer to the 
Cisco 500 Series 
Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
 for further information.
NOTE If you are not using DHCP on your network, set the IP address type 
on the switch to Static and change the static IP address and subnet 
mask to match your network topology. Failure to do so may result in 
multiple switches using the same factory default IP address of 
192.168.1.254.
Stacking the Switches
Before configuring the switches as a stack, refer to the Cisco 500 Series 
Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide for additional details. 
Refer to the front panel graphics in External Features of the Cisco 500 
Series Stackable Managed Switch to help with the stack port 
descriptions and supported modules.
