The Cisco 3560
series is a common choice for high-performance corporate network switching. The
switch must be configured before it can be attached to the network. One option
for configuration is to use the Express Setup utility that ships with the 3560
switches. Below is an outline of the recommended steps to follow to configure a
3650 switch using Express Setup. Note that some details may depend on the
release, what you intend to do with the switch and how complex your environment
is. Refer to the Cisco Configuration Guides for details and guidelines for specific
releases of the 3560 switch.
How to Cisco
Catalyst 3560 configuration? Step by step:
a)
First,
make sure to disconnect any cables connected to the switch.
b)
Connect
the AC power cord to the switch power connector and to a grounded AC outlet.
c)
The
LED lights on the front of the switch will blink to indicate the power-on
self-test (POST) process has begun. When the "SYST LED" light on the
front of the switch turns solid green, the POST is complete. As soon as you see
that the POST is complete, press and hold the "Mode" button on the
front of the switch for three seconds. Then, when all LEDs above the
"Mode" button are green, release it.
d)
Connect
one end of a Category 5 Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the switch front
panel, and the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer. Then open a Web
browser on your computer and type "10.0.0.1" in the Address bar, and
press "Enter" -- this will open the "Express Setup" page
and display the "Network Settings" fields.
e)
In the
"IP Address" field, enter the switch's IP address. Click the
drop-down arrow in the "IP Subnet Mask" field and select an IP Subnet
Mask. Enter the IP address of your network's gateway device, such as a router,
in the "Default Gateway" field.
f)
Next
you will need to select a password – the password is case sensitive and it can
be up to 25 characters. Type your new password in the "Switch
Password" field and then re-enter it in the "Confirm Switch
Password" field.
g)
Select
a name for the switch – up to 31 characters – and enter it in the "Host
Name" field.
h)
Populate
the "System Date", "System Time" and "Time Zone" fields
with the appropriate information.
i)
Click
the "Submit" button to exit Express Setup mode and complete the setup
configuration.
