Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Getting Started Guide

Step 10 If you changed the static IP address on your PC in Step 1, change it to the previously

configured static IP address.

Step 11 You can now manage the switch by using the Cisco Network Assistant, the device manager,

or both. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about configuring

and managing the switch.

You can display the device manager by following these steps:

1. Start a web browser on your PC or laptop.

2. Enter the switch IP address, username, and password (assigned in Step 7) in the web

browser, and press Enter. The device manager page appears.

Troubleshooting:

If the device manager page does not appear:

• Confirm that the port LED for the switch port connected to your network is green.

• Confirm that the PC or laptop that you are using to access the switch has network

connectivity by connecting it to a well-known web server in your network. If there is no

network connection, troubleshoot the network settings on the PC or laptop.

• Make sure that the switch IP address in the browser is correct.

• If the switch IP address in the browser is correct, the switch port LED is green, and the

PC or laptop has network connectivity, continue troubleshooting by reconnecting the PC

or laptop to the switch. Configure a static IP address on the PC or laptop that is in the

same subnet as the switch IP address. For example:

–

If your switch IP address is 172.20.20.85 and your PC or laptop IP address is

172.20.20.84, both devices are in the same network.

–

If your switch IP address is 172.20.20.85 and your PC or laptop IP address is

10.0.0.2, the devices are in different networks and cannot communicate directly.

• When the LED on the switch port connected to the PC or laptop is green, re-enter the

switch IP address in a web browser to display the device manager. When the device

manager appears, you can continue with the switch configuration.
