ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide 14
In the third scenario, called Heterogeneous Network, you are adding an ESW 500
switch to a network which does not have any Cisco Small Business products.
Default Configuration settings on the ESW 500 Series Switches
The ESW 500 series switches ship with a default configuration that enables
simplified installation and plug and play when connected into a Cisco Small
Business network such as SBCS. The default settings are as follows:
•Management VLAN is VLAN 1
•Management IP Address is obtained via DHCP by default. If the switch
times out on a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) response, it
falls back to a static IP address 192.168.10.2 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
•Voice VLAN is VLAN 100
•Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is enabled on all ports

Physical Connectivity

Physical connections to the switch are described in the tables and graphics on the
next two pages.
NOTE On the 8 port devices, the Uplink and the GBIC ports can not be used at the same
time.
