Running Express Setup
Running Express Setup
When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. Doing
this enables the switch to connect to local routers and the network. You can then access the switch
through the IP address for further configuration.
You need this equipment to set up the switch:
•A PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003 installed
•A web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5, 2.0, or later) with JavaScript enabled
Note Other laptops and browsers might work.
•A straight-through or crossover Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the switch
Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings in your browser software
and any wireless client running on your PC.
Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.
Step 2 During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, temporarily
configure your PC settings to use DHCP before proceeding to the next step.
Note Write down the static IP address. You need this IP address in Step 10.

Running Express Setup
Step 3 Power the switch by connecting the AC power
cord to the switch power supply and to a grounded
AC outlet.
Approximately 30 seconds after the switch powers
on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), which
can take several minutes to complete.
While the software image decompresses, the
SYSTEM LED blinks green.
During POST, all LEDs are off.
When POST is complete, the SYSTEM LED turns
green, and the other LEDs reflect the status of the
corresponding module.
Before going to the next step, wait until POST is
complete. This might take up to 5 minutes.
Troubleshooting:
If the SYSTEM LED blinks green, does not turn
solid green, or turns amber, contact your Cisco
representative or reseller. The switch failed the
power-on self-test (POST).
Step 4 Press and hold the Mode button until all of the
LEDs above the Mode button turn solid green. You
might need to hold the button for 3 or more
seconds.
Release the Mode button after all LEDs above the
Mode button turn green.
The switch is now in Express Setup mode.
Before going to the next step, make sure that all
LEDs above the Mode button are solid green.
Troubleshooting:
If the LEDs above the Mode button blink after you
press the button, release it. Blinking LEDs mean
that the switch is already configured and cannot go
into Express Setup mode. For more information,
see the “Resetting the Switch” section on page 18.

Running Express Setup
Step 5 Connect a Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable to a port:
•Any 10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink port
(such as port 1) on the switch front panel.
•The Ethernet management port on the switch
rear panel.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet
port on your PC.
Before going to the next step, wait until the port
LEDs on the switch and your PC or laptop are
green or blinking green. The green port LEDs
mean a successful connection.
Troubleshooting:
If the port LEDs do not turn green after about 30
seconds, make sure that:
•You connected the Ethernet cable to one of the
downlink switch ports (not to an uplink port
such as the dual-purpose port).
•You are using an undamaged Category 5 or 6
Ethernet cable.
•The other device is turned on.
Step 6 Enter the IP address 10.0.0.1 in a web browser,
and press Enter.
When prompted, enter the default password, cisco.
Note The switch ignores text in the username
field.
The Express Setup window appears.
Troubleshooting:
If the Express Setup window does not appear,
make sure that any pop-up blockers or proxy
settings on your browser are disabled and that any
wireless client is disabled on your PC or laptop.

Running Express Setup
Step 7 Enter the required settings in the Express Setup window.
Note All text entries must be in English letters.
Required Fields
Enter this information in the Network Settings fields:
•In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1.
Note We recommend using the default VLAN value because during express setup, VLAN 1 is the
only VLAN on the switch.
Enter a new VLAN ID only if you want to change the management interface through which you
manage the switch. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001.
•In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the switch.
•In the Subnet Mask field, click the drop-down arrow, and select a subnet mask.
•In the Default Gateway field, enter the IP address for the default gateway (router).
•Enter your password in the Switch Password field. The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric
characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow
spaces at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Switch Password field, enter your password again.
Note You must change the password from the default password, cisco.
Optional Fields
You can enter other administrative settings in the Express Setup window. For example, the optional
administrative settings identify and synchronize the switch for enhanced management. The switch
clock is automatically synchronized with the network clock by using NTP. You can manually set the
system clock settings if the switch should have different time settings.
Click Submit to save your changes and to complete the initial setup.
For more information about the Express Setup fields, see the online help for the Express Setup window.
Step 8 After you click Submit, these events occur:
•The switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode.
•The browser displays a warning message and tries to connect with the earlier switch IP address.
Typically, connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost because the configured switch IP
address is in a different subnet from the IP address on the PC.
Step 9 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your network. See the “Rack-Mounting”
section on page 12.

OL-22149-02
Setting the Switch Air Flow Direction
Setting the Switch Air Flow Direction
The fan module is reversible, so the switch can be ventilated by airflow into the switch ports or airflow
out of the switch ports. The best practice is to configure the switch air flow direction to match that of the
other devices in the same rack.
Note See a video demonstration of the fan installation here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps10920/vds_cis_108148_cat2360_fan_i
nstallation.html
By default, the fan is installed so that air flows into the ports. To reverse the air flow, remove the fan
module, rotate it 180 degrees (Figure 2), and re-install it.
Step 10 If you changed the static IP address on your PC in Step 2, change it back 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 10 for information about configuring and managing
the switch.
We strongly recommend that you download the Cisco Network Assistant from Cisco.com and use it to
manage the switch. You can download it from this Cisco.com site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5931/index.html
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 does not appear:
•Confirm that the port LED for the switch port connected to your network is green.
•Confirm that the PC or laptop you are using to access the switch has network connectivity by
connecting 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 switch IP address in the browser is correct, the switch interface 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 IP address
of the switch in a web browser to display the device manager. Once the device manager appears,
you can continue with the switch configuration.

Connecting to the Switch Ports
Note The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. The
switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100/1000 module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the
connection.
Install the SFP or SFP+ Modules
The Catalyst 2360 switch has four SFP+ module slots. These slots support both SFP and SFP+ modules.
Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
For a list of supported modules, see the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on
installing, removing, and connecting to SFP modules, see the documentation that came with the SFP
module.
Caution Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
modules more often than is absolutely necessary.
Verify Port Connectivity
After you connect the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch
establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. If the LED turns
off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem
with the adapter installed in the target device. See the “Troubleshooting” section on page 17 for
information about online assistance.
Step 1 Grasp the module on the sides, and insert it into
the switch slot until you feel the connector snap
into place.
Step 2 Connect an appropriate cable to the module port.
Connect the other cable end to the other device.

•Did you verify that POST ran
successfully before starting Express
Setup?
If not, make sure that only the SYST and STAT LEDs are
green before you press the Mode button to enter the
Express Setup mode.
POST errors are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco
technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
•Did you press the Mode button while
the switch was still running POST?
If yes, wait until POST completes. Power cycle the switch.
Wait until POST completes. Confirm that the SYST and
STAT LEDs are green. Press the Mode button to enter
Express Setup mode.
•Did you try to continue without
confirming that the switch was in
Express Setup mode?
Verify that all LEDs above the Mode button are green.

the console port instead of to a
10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the
switch?
If yes, disconnect the cable from the console port. Then
connect the cable to an Ethernet port on the switch and the
PC. Wait 30 seconds before you enter 10.0.0.1 in the
browser.
Note The console port is outlined in blue, and the
Ethernet port is outlined in yellow.

Troubleshooting
Resetting the Switch
Follow these steps to return your switch to the factory default settings. These are reasons why you might
want to reset the switch:
•You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong
IP address.
•You want to clear all configurations from the switch and assign a new IP address.
•You want to reset the password on the switch.
Caution Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.
To reset the switch:
Press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs begin blinking after about
3 seconds. Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after 7 more seconds, and
then the switch reboots.
The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can enter the switch IP information by using
Express Setup as described in the “Running Express Setup” section on page 3.
