Step 13 (Optional) Enter this information in the Advanced Setting fields:

•In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch by using the command-line interface (CLI). If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password.

•In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter the Telnet password.

•In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Enable SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks 2000 or another SNMP-based network-management system.

•If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field, the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP information, but you cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write community, you can both access and modify SNMP information.

•In the System Contact and System Location fields, enter a contact name and the wiring closet, floor, or building where the switch is located.

Step 14 (Optional) You can enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on the switch. From the Advanced Settings tab, check the Enable IPv6 check box.

Note Enabling IPv6 restarts the switch when you complete Express Setup.

Step 15 To complete Express Setup, click Submit from the Basic Settings or the Advanced Settings tab to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.

When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC displays a warning message and tries to connect with the new switch IP address. If you configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost.

Step 16 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about configuring and managing the switch.

If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 24.

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.
