Sysinfo page. To use your web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and hit enter. If you want to use an SNMP management application, you will need to note the IP address and to configure the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This configuration can be done through either the console or web browser GUI. See User Guide on how to enable SNMP access.

Note: The switch IP address is by default using DHCP mode to assign its address. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address. Change the IP mode to Manual for a more reliable connection. If you need help changing the IP mode, please refer the User Manual on the Resource CD for Layer 3 Managed Switches.

To learn more about the managed features on your switch, refer to the manual on the Resource CD.

Step 8: Connecting the stacking modules

Perform this step only you are setting up a stack.

FSM7352S can be setup as part of a stack. The last two ports, port 51 and 52, are pre-configured for stacking functionality. To setup the stack, simply connect the switches using standard Category 5 Ethernet cable on ports 51 or 52. The switches will automatically select the master unit whose console will be accessible as normal, and other non-master unit console will no longer provide the normal CLI access. The following diagram illustrates how the stack can be created.

To disable a port’s stacking mode and change it into regular gigabit Ethernet port, do the following commands (using port 51 as an example):

(FSM7352S ) #config

(FSM7352S Config ) #stack

(FSM7352S Config-stack ) #stack-port 1/0/51 ethernet
