Step 18 To complete Express Setup, click Submit in the Network Settings or the Advanced Settings screen to save your settings. 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 then 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. If you enabled IPv6, the switch restarts.
Step 19 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 8 for information about configuring and managing the switch.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 23.
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.
4Managing the Switch
After you complete Express Setup and install the switch in your network, use the device manager or other management options described in this section for further configuration.
Using the Device Manager
The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in the switch memory. This is a web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. 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.
3.Use the device manager to perform basic switch configuration and monitoring. Refer to 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.
