1 Connecting PC to Switch
2 Configuring Switch
You can easily set up your switch
in this step-by-step guide.

1-1 Before You Begin
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment:
●Catalyst 2960-L (the switch) ●AC Power Cord
●Ethernet Cable ●PC
Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch and your PC settings are
configured to use DHCP.
1-2 Connecting PC to Switch
ConnectingPCtoSwitch
1
1Connect the AC power cord to the
AC power connector of the switch
and a grounded AC outlet.
Power the switch.
2Confirm that the SYST LED and
STAT LED are solid green.
After the switch powers on, it begins
the power-on self-test (POST). During
POST, the each LED blinks. When POST is
completed, the SYST LED and STAT LED
turn solid green.
2
3Press and hold the Mode button.
4Confirm that all the LEDs turn
green.
Press the Mode button when the SYST
and STAT LED turn green, hold the Mode
button until all the LEDs next to the Mode
button turn green.
5Connect the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port of the switch, and
the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet port on your PC.
Wait until the port LEDs on the switch and
your PC are green or blinking green. Green
LEDs indicate a successful connection.
Caution
At step ❷, if the SYST LED does not turn solid green, or turns amber, the switch failed the
POST, reconnect the AC power cord to the switch AC power connector and a grounded AC
outlet. Nevertheless the SYST LED does not turn solid green, or turns amber, contact your
Cisco representative or reseller.
At step ❹, if the LEDs next to the Mode button blink when you press the button, release it.
Blinking LEDs indicate that the switch is already configured and cannot go into Express Setup
mode.
At step ❺, the switch port to connect an Ethernet cable is the RJ-45 Ethernet port, not the
RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 Ethernet ports are numbered 1 to 8 on the 8-port model, 1 to
16 on the 16-port model, 1 to 24 on the 24-port model, 1 to 48 on the 48-port model.

MEMO
You can confirm the connection by the
"ping 10.0.0.1" command from your PC
to the switch.

entering the "reload" command or reconnecting the AC power cord.
MEMO
The switch has a new IP address after configuration (the IP address of the step 2-5 ❷).
Your PC still has an IP address which was assigned by the switch during the Express
Setup mode and needs to have an appropriate IP address to reach the new IP address
of the switch. To do so, simply restart your PC.
