About this Guide
This guide describes how to use Express Setup to initially configure your
Cisco IE 3010 switch. It also covers switch management options, rack-mounting,
wiring procedures, port and module connection procedures, and troubleshooting.
For additional installation and configuration information for the switch, see the
Cisco IE 3010 switch documentation on Cisco.com. For system requirements,
important notes, limitations, open and resolved bugs, and last-minute
documentation updates, see the release notes, also on Cisco.com. For translations
of the warnings that appear in this publication, see the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for the Cisco IE 3010 Switch on the documentation CD.
The product warranty information is on the documentation CD.
When using the online publications, see the documents that match the Cisco IOS
software version running on the switch.

Running Express Setup
You should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. You can then
access the switch through the IP address for further configuration.
Note To use the CLI-based initial setup program, see Appendix C, “Configuring the
Switch with the CLI Setup Program,” in the switch hardware guide.
You need this equipment:
• PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003
• Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, or Firefox 1.5, 2.0, or later) with
JavaScript enabled
• Straight-through or crossover Category 5 or 6 cable
Note Before running Express Setup, disable any pop-up blockers or proxy settings on
your browser 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.
Note Write down the static IP address. You need this address in Step 12.
Step 3 Connect the wires to the switch power-input
terminal.
See the “Wiring the Power Source” section on
page 16 for instructions about AC- or
DC-power connections.

Step 4 Approximately 45 seconds after the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test
(POST), which can take up to 5 minutes.
s
During POST, the SYSTEM LED blinks green, and the port LEDs turn green.
When POST is complete, the SYSTEM LED remains green, and the other LEDs turn off.
Troubleshooting
If the SYSTEM LED blinks green, does not turn green, or turns amber, contact your Cisco
representative or reseller. The switch failed POST.
Step 5 Press the recessed Express Setup button with
a simple tool, such as a paper clip.
You might need to press the button for
3 seconds.
When you press the Express Setup button, a
switch 10/100 Ethernet port LED blinks
green.
Troubleshooting
If a switch port LED does not blink green,
repeat Steps 1 to 5. You can also use the setup
program described in the switch hardware
guide.

Step 6 Connect a Category 5 or 6 cable to the
blinking 10/100 Ethernet port.
Connect the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet port on your PC.
Wait until the port LEDs on the switch and
your PC or laptop are either green or blinking
green. Green LEDs mean a successful
connection.
Troubleshooting
If the port LEDs are not green after about 30
seconds, make sure that:
• You connected the Ethernet cable to the
blinking 10/100 Ethernet port (not to an
uplink port such as the dual-purpose
port).
• You are using a Category 5 or 6 cable and
that the cable is not damaged.
• The other device is turned on.
You can ping IP address 169.254.0.1 to verify
the connection.

Step 7 Start a browser session on the PC, open a well-known website, such as Cisco.com. The switch
prompts you for the default username and password. At the prompt, enter the default
username and password cisco.
The Express Setup window appears.
Troubleshooting
If the Express Setup window does not appear, make sure that any browser pop-up blockers or
proxy settings are disabled and that any wireless client on your PC or laptop is disabled.

Step 8 Enter this information in the Network Settings fields:
Note All entries must be in English letters.
• In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1.
Note We recommend that you use the default VLAN value. 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 Assignment Mode field, we recommend that you use the default, Static, which
means that the switch always has the IP address that you assign. Use the DHCP setting
when you want the switch to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
• 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.
Step 9 Enter the Optional Settings now, or enter them later:
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. NTP synchronizes the switch clock with the network clock. You can also
manually set the system clock settings.
Click Submit to save your changes.
For more information about the Express Setup fields, see the online help for the Express Setup
window.
Step 10 After you click Submit, these events occur:
• The switch is configured and leaves 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 PC IP address.

Managing the Switch
After completing Express Setup and installing the switch in your network, you
can use the CLI for further configuration. You can enter Cisco IOS commands and
parameters through the CLI. Use one of these options to access the CLI:
• Switch RJ-45 Console Port
• Switch USB Console Port
Switch RJ-45 Console Port
1. Connect the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on the PC.
Connect the other end of the cable to the switch console port.
2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Use the CLI to enter configuration commands. See the software configuration
guide and the command reference for more information.
Switch USB Console Port
If you use the USB console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device
driver on the PC that is connected to the USB console port. See the switch
hardware installation guide for installation instructions.
1. Connect an USB cable to the PC USB port. Connect the other end of the cable
to the mini-B (5-pin-connector) USB console port on the switch.
2. Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
Step 11 Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your network. See the “Installing
the Switch” section on page 10.
Step 12 If you changed the static IP address on your PC in Step 2, change it to the previously
configured static IP address.
Step 13 See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 9 for information about configuring and
managing the switch.

3. Configure the PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Use the CLI to enter configuration commands. See the software configuration
guide and the command reference for more information.
Note You cannot use the switch RJ-45 console port and the switch USB console
port at the same time to access the CLI.
Installing the Switch
This section covers 19-inch rack-mounting, wiring procedures, and switch port
connections. The illustrations show the Cisco IE-3010-24TC switch. You can
install and connect other Cisco IE 3010 switches as shown in these examples. For
alternate mounting procedures, such as installing the switch on a wall and for
additional cabling information, see the switch hardware installation guide.
