Rack-Mount Placement

STEP 1Remove the four screws from each side near the front of the switch.

Retain the screws for re-installation. (Do not remove the four screws

from each side near the back of the switch.)

STEP 2Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the

four holes of the spacers align to the screw holes. Place a rack

mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws

removed in Step 1.

NOTE If your screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket

with the spacer in place, attach the bracket directly to the case

without the spacer.

STEP 3Repeat Step 2 for the other side of the switch.

STEP 4After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the

switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.

CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to

be unstable and may tip over.

Wall Mounting

Only the 8-port models of the switch can be wall-mounted.

NOTE The switch should be mounted so that the ports face up or down.

Do not mount the switch with the ports to the side.

Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches 5

There is a wall-mount kit packed with your switch. The dimensions for the

mount kit are as follows:

Mount the managed switch to the wall by drilling two pilot holes

3.7 inches (95 mm) apart, attaching the provided anchors and screws to

the wall, then sliding the switch into position on the screws.

The switch should have a minimum of 5 inches (130 mm) of clearance on all

sides.

WARNING Insecure mounting may damage the device or cause injury.

Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-

mounting.

Connecting Network Devices

To connect the switch to the network:

STEP 1Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.

STEP 2Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered managed switch Ethernet ports.

The Ethernet port light turns green when the connection is active.

Refer to Features of the Cisco 300 Series Managed Switch for

details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

STEP 3Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to

the managed switch.

NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed

the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to

one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is

connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations

Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches 7

NOTE The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4 Watts to any 10/100 or

Gigabit PoE port. The 24MP, 28MP, 52P and 52MP models of the switch

can deliver a maximum of 30 Watts to any PoE port.

WARNING The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without

routing to the outside plant.

CAUTION Consider the following when connecting switches capable of

supplying PoE:

The PoE models of the switches are PSE (Power Sourcing

Equipment) that are capable of supplying DC power to

attaching PD (Powered Devices). These devices include VoIP

phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points. The PoE

switches can detect and supply power to pre-standard

legacy PoE Powered Devices. Due to the support of legacy

PoE, it is possible that a PoE switch acting as a PSE may

mistakenly detect and supply power to an attaching PSE,

including other PoE switches, as a legacy PD.

Even though PoE switches are PSE, and as such should be

by another PSE due to false detection. When this happens,

the PoE switch may not operate properly and may not be

able to properly supply power to its attaching PDs.

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.

Configuring the Cisco 300 Series

Managed Switch

Before You Begin

Verify the managing computer requirements in the product release notes.

The switch can be accessed and managed by two different methods; over

your IP network using the web-based interface, or by the Command Line

Interface (CLI) through the console port. Using the console port requires

advanced user skills.

Accessing and Managing Your Switch

Use 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. If

you are managing the switch through a console port connection, the link

is retained.

To configure the switch through an IP network:

STEP 1Power on the computer and the switch.

STEP 2Set 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

and reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP

addresses from the DHCP server.

Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches 9

NOTE Details on how to change the IP address on your computer

depend upon the type of architecture and operating system you are

using. Use the computer Help and Support functionality to search for “IP

Addressing.”

STEP 3Open a Web browser window. If you are prompted to install an

Active-X plug-in when connecting to the device, follow the

prompts to accept the plug-in.

STEP 4Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For

example, http://192.168.1.254.

The Switch Login Page displays.

STEP 5Enter the default login information:

•Username is cisco

•Default password is cisco (passwords are case sensitive)

STEP 6If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default

username and password, the Change Password page opens. The

rules for constructing a new login and password are displayed on

the page. Enter a new administrator password and click Apply.

CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved to

the Startup configuration before exiting from the web-based

interface by clicking on the Save icon. Exiting before you

save your configuration will result in all current changes

being lost the next time the switch is rebooted.

The Getting Started window displays. You are now ready to configure the

switch. Refer to the Cisco 300 Series Managed Switch Administration

Guide for further information.

Use the console port

To configure the switch by using the console port:

STEP 1Connect a computer to the switch console port using the provided

serial cable.

STEP 2Start a terminal application such as HyperTerminal on the

computer.

STEP 3Configure the utility with the following parameters:

•115200 bits per second (with release 1.2.5 of the firmware,

autobaud detection is enabled by default, so the switch should

detect the speed after you press Enter).

10 Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches

•8 data bits

•no parity

•1 stop bit

•no flow control

STEP 4Enter a user name and password. User names and passwords are

both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. The default username is

cisco, and the default password is cisco.

STEP 5If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default

username and password, the following message appears:

Please change your password from the default

settings. Please change the password for better

protection of your network. Do you want to change

the password (Y/N) [Y]?

STEP 6Select Y, and enter a new administrator password.

CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes are saved before

exiting by issuing the command:

copy running-config startup-config

You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the Cisco 300 Series

Managed Switch Administration Guide for further information.

NOTE If you are not using DHCP on your network, set the IP address type

on the switch to Static and change the static IP address and subnet

mask to match your network topology. Failure to do so may result in

multiple switches using the same factory default IP address of

192.168.1.254.

Troubleshoot Your Connection

If you cannot access your switch from the web-based interface, the switch

may not be reachable from your computer. You can test network

connections by using ping on a computer running Windows:

STEP 1Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 2At the Command window prompt enter ping and the managed

switch IP address. For example ping 192.168.1.254 (the

default static IP address of the managed switch).

If you can reach the switch, you should get a reply similar to the

following:
