Getting Started
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Series Smart Gigabit Ethernet
Switch. The Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switches are cost-effective switching
solutions ideal for small businesses, the network edge, or workgroups within
larger organizations. These easy-to-install, high speed switches offer many of the
same Quality of Service and Security features found in more expensive full Layer 2
managed switches but without their complexity. The Smart Switches offer the
following interfaces:
•The SLM2024 and SLM2048 offer twenty four (24) or forty eight (48)
Gigabit copper ports, with two (2) shared copper or optical (SFP) uplink
interfaces for connecting the switch to the core network.
•The SLM224G, SLM224P, SLM248G, and SLM248P offer twenty four (24) or
forty eight (48) 10/100 copper ports, with two (2) shared Gigabit copper or
optical (SFP) uplink interfaces for connecting the switch to the core
network.
The Smart Switch’s simplified user interface is an intuitive management tool
enabling you to quickly utilize the comprehensive feature-set of the switch,
resulting in a better optimized network. The user interface is a web based
application that uses Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, or Firefox 5.0 or later.
Starting the Application
To open the User Interface:
STEP 1 Open a web browser.
NOTE The default IP address is 192.168.1.254. If you have changed the IP address
or are using DHCP to assign it, enter the new IP address instead. The
computer you use for configuration should be on the same subnet as the
Switch.
