Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series

Easy Setup Guide

1 Connecting PC to Switch

2 Configuring Switch

You can easily set up your switch

in this step-by-step guide.

1-1 Before You Begin

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment:

●Catalyst 2960-L (the switch) ●AC Power Cord

●Ethernet Cable ●PC

Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch and your PC settings are

configured to use DHCP.

1-2 Connecting PC to Switch

ConnectingPCtoSwitch

1Connect the AC power cord to the

AC power connector of the switch

and a grounded AC outlet.

Power the switch.

2Confirm that the SYST LED and

STAT LED are solid green.

After the switch powers on, it begins

the power-on self-test (POST). During

POST, the each LED blinks. When POST is

completed, the SYST LED and STAT LED

turn solid green.

3Press and hold the Mode button.

4Confirm that all the LEDs turn

green.

Press the Mode button when the SYST

and STAT LED turn green, hold the Mode

button until all the LEDs next to the Mode

button turn green.

5Connect the Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port of the switch, and

the other end of the cable to the

Ethernet port on your PC.

Wait until the port LEDs on the switch and

your PC are green or blinking green. Green

LEDs indicate a successful connection.

Caution

At step ❷, if the SYST LED does not turn solid green, or turns amber, the switch failed the

POST, reconnect the AC power cord to the switch AC power connector and a grounded AC

outlet. Nevertheless the SYST LED does not turn solid green, or turns amber, contact your

Cisco representative or reseller.

At step ❹, if the LEDs next to the Mode button blink when you press the button, release it.

Blinking LEDs indicate that the switch is already configured and cannot go into Express Setup

mode.

At step ❺, the switch port to connect an Ethernet cable is the RJ-45 Ethernet port, not the

RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 Ethernet ports are numbered 1 to 8 on the 8-port model, 1 to

16 on the 16-port model, 1 to 24 on the 24-port model, 1 to 48 on the 48-port model.

MEMO

You can confirm the connection by the

"ping 10.0.0.1" command from your PC

to the switch.

Before you begin the configuration, make sure that you have the following information.

●IP Address of the Default Gateway (Router)

●IP Address and Subnet Mask for the Switch

2-2

Logging in to Configuration Setup Wizard

When you first set up the switch, use the Configuration Setup Wizard to enter the

initial IP information. Launch a Web browser on your PC, and log in to the Web UI.

The switch has a new IP address after configuration (the IP address of the step 2-5 ❷).

Your PC still has an IP address which was assigned by the switch during the Express

Setup mode and needs to have an appropriate IP address to reach the new IP address

of the switch. To do so, simply restart your PC.
