•Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting the switch and the PC before entering the IP address in your browser?

•Did you enter the wrong address in the browser, or is there an error message?

If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press Enter.

If yes, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press Enter.

Resetting the Switch

This section describes how to reset the switch by rerunning Express Setup. These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch:

•You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP address.

•You want to clear all configuration from the switch and assign a new IP address.

•You are trying to enter Express Setup mode, and the switch LEDs start blinking when you press the Mode button, which means that the switch is already configured with IP information.

Caution Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

To reset the switch, press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 3 seconds. Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after 7 more seconds, and then the switch reboots.

The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can enter the switch IP information by using Express Setup as described in the “Running Express Setup” section on page 5.

3560 specifications

Cisco Systems 3560 is a series of enterprise-class Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches designed to meet the growing demands of modern networks. Launched as part of Cisco's Catalyst series, the 3560 line offers remarkable versatility and reliability for businesses of all sizes.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 3560 switches is their support for advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities. This allows for IPv6 support and enhanced IP routing protocols, including OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP. With built-in static IP routing, the 3560 can perform inter-VLAN routing, thus optimizing network performance by enabling devices on different VLANs to communicate efficiently. This is crucial for modern networks where segmentation is vital for performance and security.

The Cisco 3560 series also excels in Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, allowing network devices to receive power and data over a single cable. This makes it an ideal solution for powering devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional electrical outlets. The PoE functionality is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to reduce installation costs and simplify their network infrastructure.

In terms of security, the Cisco 3560 incorporates features such as port security, dynamic MAC address learning, and 802.1X authentication. These features help safeguard the network against unauthorized access and secure sensitive data. Additionally, the switch supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) to filter traffic and improve overall network efficiency.

Management of the Cisco 3560 is facilitated through the Cisco IOS Software, which provides a user-friendly interface for configuration and monitoring. The device can be managed via a command-line interface (CLI) or a web-based GUI, allowing network administrators flexibility in how they interact with the switch. Moreover, Cisco's Smart Install feature simplifies the deployment process for large networks, facilitating plug-and-play configurations.

Another notable characteristic of the Cisco 3560 series is its stackable design, enabling users to connect multiple switches within a single stack to improve scalability. This modular approach allows businesses to expand their network easily as their needs grow, while also providing redundancy.

With a robust set of features tailored for performance, security, and manageability, the Cisco Systems 3560 series continues to be a reliable choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure and support the evolving landscape of enterprise networking. It addresses the critical requirements of modern environments and remains a benchmark for performance in enterprise-level switching solutions.
