Refreshing the PC IP Address

After you complete Express Setup, you should refresh the PC IP address.

For a dynamically assigned IP address, disconnect the PC from the switch, and

reconnect it to the network. The network DHCP server will assign a new IP

address to the PC.

For a statically assigned IP address, change it to the previously configured IP

address.

Managing the Switch

After completing Express Setup and installing the switch in your network, use the

device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, or another of the management options

described in this section for further configuration.

Using the Device Manager

The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in

the switch memory. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick

configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere

in your network through a web browser.

Step 13

Click Submit to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.

When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC

displays a warning message and then attempts to connect with the new switch IP address. If you

configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC, connectivity

between the PC and the switch is lost.

Step 14

Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your network. See the “Managing

the Switch” section on page 1-8 for information about configuring and managing the switch.

If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 1-19.
