green.

 

Troubleshooting:

If the Express Setup window does not appear, make sure that any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on your browser are disabled and that any wireless client is disabled on your PC or laptop.

Step 5

1. Enter the network setting in the Express Setup window.

The network settings enable the switch to operate with its standard default settings and to be managed through the device manager and the Cisco Configuration Assistant. You must apply these settings to access and to take advantage of the monitoring, troubleshooting, and configuration features on the switch. Otherwise, your switch management is limited to using only the LEDs on the switch front panel.

Username-and-password pairs prevent unauthorized access by those who could guess the password. We recommend that the switch has at least one username-and-password pair to secure access to the device manager. The default username is cisco. The default password is cisco.

2.(Optional) Enter the optional administrative settings in the Express Setup window.

The optional administrative settings identify and synchronize the switch so that it can be managed properly. The switch clock is automatically synchronized with the system clock on your PC or laptop. You can manually set the system clock settings if the switch should have different time settings.

3.Click Submit to save your changes and to complete the initial setup.

If you need more information about the Express Setup fields, see the device manager online help.
