overload that circuit.
Rack-Mount Placement
STEP 1Removethefourscrewsfromeachside nearthe frontofthe switch.
Retain the screws for re-installation. Do not remove the four screws
from each side near the back of the switch.
STEP 2Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the
four holes of the spacers align to the screw holes. Place a rack
mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws
removed in step 1.
NOTE Suggestedscrewsizeis6.9mm(diameter)x6mm(height).Ifyour
screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket with the spacer in
place, attach the bracket directly to the case without the spacer.

CAUTION Forstability,load therack fromthe bottomto thetop,withthe
heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.
Connecting Network Devices
To connect the switch to the network:
STEP 1ConnectanEthernetcabletoanEthernetportofacomputer,printer,
network storage, or other network device.
STEP 2Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the
numbered switch Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet port light turns green when the connection is active.
Refer to External Features of the Cisco 500 Series Stackable
Managed Switch for details about the different ports and LEDs on
each switch.
STEP 3Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to
the switch.
NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit
connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is
connected. This is normal behavior.
NOTE 500 Series switches have both standard Ethernet and stack ports.
Standard ethernet ports can not be used for stacking. Refer to Stacking
the Switches for additional details.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations
If your switch is one of the PoE models, consider the following table for
specific information:
NOTE The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4 Watts to any 10/100
Gigabit PoE port. SF500-24MP, SF500-48MP, SG500X-24MPP, and
SG500X-48MP can deliver a maximum of 30 Watts to any PoE port.
WARNING The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without
routing to the outside plant.
CAUTION Considerthefollowingwhenconnectingswitchescapableof

phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points. The PoE
switches can detect and supply power to pre-standard
legacy PoE Powered Devices. Due to the support of legacy
PoE, it is possible that a PoE switch acting as a PSE may
mistakenly detect and supply power to an attaching PSE,
including other PoE switches, as a legacy PD.
Even though PoE switches are PSE, and as such should be
powered by AC, they could be powered up as a legacy PD
by another PSE due to false detection. When this happens,
the PoE switch may not operate properly and may not be
able to properly supply power to its attaching PDs.
To prevent false detection, you should disable PoE on the
ports on the PoE switches that are used to connect to PSEs.
You should also first power up a PSE device before
connecting it to a PoE switch. When a device is being falsely
detected as a PD, you should disconnect the device from the
PoE port and power recycle the device with AC power
before reconnecting its PoE ports.
Configuring the 500 Series Stackable
Managed Switch
Before You Begin
Verify the managing computer requirements in the product release notes.
The switch can be accessed and managed by two different methods; over
your IP network using the web-based interface, or by the Command Line
Interface (CLI) through the console port. Using the console port requires
advanced user skills.
Accessing and Managing Your Switch
Use the Web-Based Interface
To access the switch by using the web-based interface, you must know
the IP address the switch is using. The switch uses the factory default IP
address of 192.168.1.254 by default.
3

8 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches
When the switch is using the factory default IP address, the System LED
flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP server-assigned IP
address or an administrator has configured a static IP address, the System
LED is on solid (DHCP is enabled by default).
NOTE If you are managing the switch through a network connection and
the switch IP address is changed, either by a DHCP server or manually,
youraccess tothe switchwill belost. You mustenter the newIPaddress
the switch is using into your browser to use the web-based interface. If
you are managing the switch through a console port connection, the link
is retained.
To configure the switch through an IP network:
STEP 1Power on the computer and the switch.
STEP 2Set the IP configuration on your computer.
a. If the switch is using the factory default IP address of
192.168.1.254, you must chose an IP address for the computer
in the range of 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253 that is not already in
use.
b. If the IP addresses is assigned by a DHCP server, make sure
the DHCP server is running and can be reached from the
switch and the computer. It might be necessary 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.UsethecomputerHelpandSupportfunctionalitytosearchfor“IP
Addressing.”
STEP 3Open 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 4Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For
example, http://192.168.1.254.
The Switch Login Page
displays.
STEP 5Enter the default login information:
•Username is cisco
•Default password is cisco (passwords are case sensitive)
STEP 6If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default
username and password, the
Change Password Page opens. The
rules for constructing a new login and password are displayed on
the page. Enter a new administrator password and click Apply.

500 Series Stackable Managed Switches 9
CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved to
the Startup configuration before exiting from the web-based
interface by clicking on the Save icon. Exiting before you
save your configuration will result in all current changes
being lost the next time the switch is rebooted.
The Getting Started window displays. You are now ready to configure the
switch. Refer to the
Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch
Administration Guide
for further information.
Use the console port
To configure the switch by using the console port:
STEP 1Connect a computer to the switch console port by using the
provided serial cable.
STEP 2Start a terminal application such as HyperTerminal on the
computer.
STEP 3Configure the utility with the following parameters:
•115200 bits per second (with release 1.2.7 of the firmware,
autobaud detection is enabled by default, so the switch should
detect the speed after you press Enter).
•8 data bits
•no parity
•1 stop bit
•no flow control
STEP 4Enter a user name and password. User names and passwords are
both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. The default username is
cisco, and the default password is cisco.
STEP 5If this is the first time that you have logged on with the default
username and password, the following message appears:
Please change your password from the default
settings. Please change the password for better
protection of your network. Do you want to change
the password (Y/N) [Y]?
STEP 6Select Y, and enter a new administrator password.

10 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches
CAUTION Make sure that any configuration changes are saved before
exiting by issuing the command:
copy running-config startup-config
You are ready to configure the switch. Refer to the
Cisco 500 Series
Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
for further information.
NOTE If you are not using DHCP on your network, set the IP address type
on the switch to Static and change the static IP address and subnet
mask to match your network topology. Failure to do so may result in
multiple switches using the same factory default IP address of
192.168.1.254.
Stacking the Switches
Before configuring the switches as a stack, refer to the Cisco 500 Series
Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide for additional details.
Refer to the front panel graphics in External Features of the Cisco 500
Series Stackable Managed Switch to help with the stack port
descriptions and supported modules.
The following graphic shows the stack ports to assist in connecting the
devices in a stack:
The 500X model is on the left, and the Sx500 model is on the right. The
SG500XG-8F8T model is shown below.

TIP The default stack ports on the 500X are XG3/S1 and
XG4/S2. If the correct module is plugged into XG3/S1 and
XG4/S2, the switch should be able to detect the connection
and configure the speed according to the module capability
without any manual configuration. The 5G/S1 and 5G/S2
interfaces on the 500X need to be configured manually via
the CLI or web-based interface in order to utilize these ports
as stack ports.
TIP The default stack ports on the 500 are S3 and S4. If the
correct module is plugged into S3 and S4, the switch should
able to detect the connection and configure the speed
according to the module capability without any manual
configuration.TheS1andS2interfacesonthe500needtobe
configured manually via the CLI or web-based interface in
order to utilize these ports as stack ports.
The default stack ports on a switch function as regular Ethernet ports only
if you configure them to do so, or if the switch is configured to operate in
standalone mode. You cannot mix the stack speeds between the switches
or ports.
TIP Bydefault,SG500XG-8F8T isinstandalone mode andhas nostack
port. Any of the ports on the SG500XG-8F8T switch can be
converted to a stack port. If you manually assign a Unit ID to one
unit, you should manually assign Unit IDs to all units. Using both
system-assigned and manually-assigned IDs in your network can
impact system performance.
WARNING Stack ports must be either configured with the same port
speed or have the same speed capability on the module/cable
plug in. If the port speed is configured as auto, then the module
pluggedinto these two ports willneed to have thesamespeed
capability, otherwise the switch will not be able to form as a
stack with multiple units.
A stack can have up to eight 500 series switches in it.
Switches in the same stack are connected together through their stack
ports. Depending on the type of stack ports and the desired speed, you
may need regular Cat5 or better Ethernet cables and/or Cisco approved
modules or cables for the 500 Series switches.

12 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches
Changing the stack mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch.
Stack Unit Modes
Devices can operate in one of the following Stack Unit modes:
•Standalone—The device is not connected to any other device and
does not have a stack port.
•NativeStacking—A device can connectto other devices of the same
type through its stack ports to form a stack. All units in a native stack
must be of the same type (either all Sx500s or all SG500Xs).
• Basic Hybrid—A device can connect to other devices from the 500
series to form a stack. In this mode, VRRP and/or RIP are not supported.
The GUI for Sx500 devices is displayed, even if the stack master is
SG500X, since the feature set is that of the Sx500.
In this mode, anytype of device can function as master orbackup. Only
5G stacking ports can be used as stack ports.
• Advanced Hybrid—A device can connect to other devices from the
500seriestoformastack.Inthismode,VRRPand/orRIParesupported.
Only SG500X devices can function as master/backup, and auto
numbering of units is not supported.
Sx500 devices can only be slaves, therefore up to six Sx500 units can
be stacked with two SG500X devices.
• Advanced Hybrid XG — A device in the SG500XG series can connect
toother SG 500X devices to form a stack, with the SG500X featureset.
In this mode, VRRP and/or RIP are supported.
Any device can function as master, backup, or slave.

Troubleshoot Your Connection
If you cannot access your switch from the web-based interface, the switch
might not be reachable from your computer. You can test network
connections by using ping on a computer running Windows:
STEP 1Open the Terminal application.
STEP 2Enter the ping command and the switch IP address. For
example ping 192.168.1.254 (the default IP address of the switch).
If you can reach the switch, you should get a reply similar to the
following:
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
If you cannot reach the switch, you should get a reply similar to the
following:
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Possible Causes and Resolutions
