6 Cisco 200 Series Smart Switches

To prevent false detection, you should disable PoE on the

ports on the PoE switches that are used to connect to PSEs.

You should also first power up a PSE device before

connecting it to a PoE switch. When a device is being falsely

detected as a PD, you should disconnect the device from the

PoE port and power recycle the device with AC power

before reconnecting its PoE ports.

Switches

Before You Begin

Verify the managing computer requirements in the product release notes.

Accessing and Managing Your Switch Using the Web-

Based Interface

To access the switch by using the web-based interface, you must know

the IP address the switch is using. The switch uses the factory default IP

address of 192.168.1.254 by default.

When the switch is using the factory default IP address, the System LED

flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP server-assigned IP

address or an administrator has configured a static IP address, the System

LED is on solid (DHCP is enabled by default).

NOTE If you are managing the switch through a network connection and

the switch IP address is changed, either by a DHCP server or manually,

your access to the switch will be lost. You must enter the new IP address

the switch is using into your browser to use the web-based interface.

To configure the smart switch:

STEP 1 Power on the computer and the switch.

STEP 2 Set the IP configuration on your computer.

a. If the switch is using the factory default IP address of

192.168.1.254, you must chose an IP address for the computer

in the range of 192.168.1.1—192.168.1.253 that is not already in

use.

b. If the IP addresses is assigned by a DHCP server, make sure

the DHCP server is running and can be reached from the

switch and the computer. It might be necessary to disconnect
