Launching the Utility

To open the web-based switch configuration utility:

STEP 1 Open a web browser.

STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the switch that you are configuring in the address bar on the browser, and then press Enter. (The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.254.) The Log In page opens.

Logging In

To log in to the web-based switch configuration utility:

STEP 1 Enter the username and password. The factory default user name is cisco and the default password is cisco.

Note: When the switch boots with the factory default configuration, the web- based switch configuration utility appears in the default language. After you log in, you can download additional languages by using the Upgrade/Backup Firmware/ Language page.

STEP 2 If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user name (cisco) and the default password (cisco) or your password has expired, the Change Admin Password page opens. Enter the new password, confirm it, click Apply, and then click Close. (The characters ', ", %, and ? are not supported.) The new password is saved.

NOTE Password complexity is enabled by default and the new password must comply to the default password complexity rule defined by the password strength. (See Adding a User for more information.) The password strength check can be temporarily disabled by selecting the Disable Password Strength Enforcement option.

STEP 3 Click Login.

When the login attempt is successful, the Getting Started page opens.

If you entered an incorrect user name or password, an error message is displayed and the Log In page remains displayed on the screen.

NOTE When logging in by using HTTP or HTML, if you are provided an option to choose from more than one network port, select the lowest number port.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
