6 300 Series Managed Switches

TEP 3 Set up the IP configuration on your computer.

a. If the switch is using the default static IP address of

192.168.1.254, you must chose an IP address in the range of

192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.

b. If the IP addresses will be assigned by DHCP, make sure your

DHCP server is running and can be reached from the switch

and the computer. You may need to disconnect and reconnect

the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from

the DHCP server.

NOTE Details on how to change the IP address on your computer

depend upon the type of architecture and operating system you are

using. Use your computers local Help and Support functionality and

search for “IP Addressing”.

STEP 4 Open a Web browser window. If you are prompted to install an

Active-X plug-in when connecting to the device, follow the

prompts to accept the plug-in.

STEP 5 Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For

example, http://192.168.1.254.

The Managed Switch Login Page

displays.

STEP 6 Enter the default login information:

Username is cisco

Default password is cisco (passwords are case sensitive)

STEP 7 If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default

username and password, the

Change Password Page

opens. Enter

a new administrator password and then click Apply.

CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved

before exiting from the web-based interface by clicking on

the Save icon. Exiting before you save your configuration will

result in all changes being lost.

The Getting Started window displays. You are now ready to configure the

switch. Refer to the

Cisco Small Business Managed Switch Administration

Guide

for further information.
