How to Config the Cisco 3560 Switch

Cisco 3560 Series, fixed configuration Enterprise class switch with PoE functionality in Fast and Gigabit Ethernet configurations, ws 3560g 24ts e is intended to provide high-performance network switching while reducing power consumption relative to previous Cisco switches for use in corporate networks. It could also be used for environments in branch office.

Catalyst 3560 Cisco Switches support network switching for voice and video data. So you can use the Express Setup utility that ships with Cisco 3560 switches to configure a Cisco 3560, so that it can be attached to the network.

How to Configure catalyst 3560 g specs Series? Do the following guide to finish your Cisco 3560 configuration.

Things you'll need: Ethernet cable

1. Disconnect any cables connected to the switch.

2. Power the switch by connecting the AC power cord to the switch power connector and to a grounded AC outlet. This will start the power-on self-test (POST) process on the switch. spec ws c3560g 24ts e The LED lights on the front of the switch will blink during the POST.

3. Wait for the "SYST LED" light on the front of the switch to turn solid green, which indicates that the POST is complete. Press and hold the "Mode" button on the front of the switch for three seconds as soon as the POST is complete. When all LEDs above the "Mode" button are green, release it.

4. Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the switch front panel, and the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer. Open a web browser on your computer and type "10.0.0.1" in the Address bar, then press "Enter". This opens the "Express Setup" page and displays the "Network Settings" fields.

5. Enter the switch's IP address in the "IP Address" field. Click the drop-down arrow in the "IP Subnet Mask" field and select an IP Subnet Mask. Enter the IP address of your network's gateway device, such as a router, in the "Default Gateway" field.

6. Type a new password in the "Switch Password" field. The password can be up to 25 alphanumeric characters long, may start with a number, and is case-sensitive. Re-type your password in the "Confirm Switch Password" field.

7. Type a name for the switch in the "Host Name" field. The host name can be up to 31 alphanumeric characters long.

8. Enter date and time information in the "System Date", 3560g 24 ts s "System Time" and "Time Zone" fields.

9. Click the "Submit" button. This exits Express Setup mode and completes the setup configuration.

Quick Look: The Cisco 3560 series is an array of fixed configuration and enterprise class switches that are present in configurations like Gigabit Ether net and Fast Ethernet.This series includes Cisco pre-standard Power over Internet and IEEE 802.3af facilities. Small office environments find this series specifically useful as an access layer because it combines 10/100/1000 and PoE configurations and also enables the deployment of applications such as IP telephony, video surveillance and remote video kiosks.
