Catalyst 2960-S Switch Getting Started Guide

Running Express Setup

When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial

IP information. Doing this enables the switch to connect to local routers and the

network. You can then access the switch through the IP address for further

configuration.

You need this equipment to set up the switch:

• A PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003 installed

• A web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5, 2.0, or later) with

JavaScript enabled

Note Other laptops and browsers might work.

• A straight-through or crossover Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable to connect

your PC to the switch

Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in

your browser software and any wireless client running on your PC.

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 has a static IP address,

temporarily configure your PC settings to use DHCP before proceeding to the next step.

Note Write down the static IP address. You will need this IP address in Step 10.
