Connecting Expansion Modules

The switch can operate as a standalone device with Fast Ethernet ports. You can

increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports by connecting the Cisco

IEM-3000-8TM or the Cisco IEM-3000-8FM expansion module. You can also

install two expansion modules. Depending on the mix of switches and expansion

modules, you can have up to 24 Fast Ethernet ports. For more information about

the different combinations of the switch and expansion modules, see the

Cisco IE 3000 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com.

The switch expansion modules are optional and do not ship with the switch. You

need to order these separately.

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

Internet. You can then access the switch through the IP address for additional

configuration.

You need this equipment to set up the switch:

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

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

with JavaScript enabled.

• A straight-through Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the

switch.

Disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in your browser software and any

wireless client running on your PC.

Step 4 Push in the upper and lower module latches to

secure the module to the switch.

Step 5 If you are installing a second module, repeat Step 2 to Step 3, but secure the second module

to the right side of the first module.

To run Express Setup:

Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the

switch.

During Express Setup, the switch acts as a

DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP

address, change your PC settings before you

begin to temporarily use DHCP.

Step 2 Connect power to the switch.

See the wiring instructions in the “Grounding the Switch” section on page 17 and the “Wiring

the DC Power Source” section on page 18.

Step 3 When the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the

System LED blinks while a series of tests verify that the switch functions properly. Wait for

the switch to complete POST, which takes approximately 1 minute.

Step 4 Make sure that POST has completed by verifying that the System LED is solid green. If the

switch has not been configured, the Setup LED blinks green. If the Setup LED stops blinking,

you can still continue with the next step.

If the switch fails POST, the System LED turns red. See the “In Case of Difficulty” section

on page 25 if your switch fails POST.

Step 5 Press the Express Setup button. This button is

recessed behind the front panel, so you can

use a simple tool, such as a paper clip.

When you press the Express Setup button, a

switch port LED begins blinking green.

Step 6 Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable (not

provided) from the blinking switch port to the

Ethernet port on your PC.

The port LEDs on your PC and the switch

blink green while the switch configures the

connection.

Step 7 When the Setup LED turns solid green, start a browser session on the PC.

Step 8 The Express Setup window automatically appears. If the window does not appear, verify that

any proxy settings or pop-up blockers are disabled on your browser and that any wireless

client is disabled on your PC. You might also need to enter a URL in your browser, such as

Cisco.com or another well-known website. If you need help, see the “In Case of Difficulty”

section on page 25.

Note If the switch has been previously configured, the device manager page appears. You

can use it to change the switch IP address.

Step 9 Enter the network settings. All entries must be in English letters and Arabic numbers.

• Management Interface (VLAN): We recommend using the default, VLAN 1. The

management VLAN establishes an IP connection to the switch.

• IP Assignment Mode: We recommend using the default, Static, which means that the

switch always has the IP address that you assign. Use the DHCP setting when you want

the switch to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

• IP Address: Enter the IP address for the switch. Later, you can use the IP address to

access the switch through the device manager.

• Subnet Mask: Select a mask from the drop-down list.

• Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the router.

• Password: Enter a password. The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters,

can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow

spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Password field, enter the password again.

For more information about the network settings, click Help on the toolbar.

Step 10 Enter the Optional Settings now, or enter them later by using the device manager interface:

• Enter a Host Name for the switch.

• Select Enable or Disable for Telnet access. If enabled, enter and confirm the Telnet

password in the Password fields.

• The date and time fields are populated from your PC.

• Click Enable to use Daylight Saving Time.

For more information about the optional settings, click Help on the toolbar.

Step 11 Click Submit to save the information that you entered and to finish the basic configuration.

You have completed the initial switch setup. If you click Cancel, the fields are cleared, and

you can start over.

Step 12 Turn off DC power at the source, disconnect all cables to the switch, and install the switch in

your network. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about

configuring and managing the switch.

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 the PC to the network. The network DHCP server assigns 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 you complete Express Setup and install the switch in your network, use the

device manager or other management options described in these sections for

additional configuration:

• Using the Device Manager, page 9

• Downloading Cisco Network Assistant, page 10

• Command-Line Interface, page 10

• Other Management Options, page 11

Using the Device Manager

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

the Cisco IOS image. The device manager has a web interface that simplifies

configuration and monitoring of the switch. You can access the device manager

from anywhere in your network through a web browser.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.

2. Enter the switch IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The device

manager page appears.

OL-16234-01

3. Use the device manager to perform basic switch configuration and

monitoring. See the device manager online help for more information.

4. For more advanced configuration, download and run the Cisco Network

Assistant, which is described in the next section.

Downloading Cisco Network Assistant

Cisco Network Assistant is a software program that you download from

Cisco.com and run on your PC. It offers advanced options for configuring and

monitoring multiple devices, including switches, switch clusters, switch stacks,

routers, and access points. Network Assistant is free—there is no charge to

download, install, or use it.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to this Web address: http://www.cisco.com/go/NetworkAssistant.

You must be a registered Cisco.com user, but you need no other access

privileges.

2. Find the Network Assistant installer.

3. Download the Network Assistant installer, and run it. (You can run it directly

from the Web if your browser offers this choice.)

4. When you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. In the final

panel, click Finish to complete the Network Assistant installation.

See the Network Assistant online help and the getting started guide for more

information.

Command-Line Interface

You can manage the switch from the command-line interface (CLI) by connecting

your PC directly to the switch console port or to an Ethernet port. This procedure

explains how to access the CLI through the console port.
