3 Stacking the Switches Before setting up stacked switches in your network, see the Managing Stacking chapter in the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide. Switches can operate in two different modes, Stack mode and Stand-Alone mode. In Stack mode, a switch operates as a member of an organized group of switches known as a stack. A stack consists of one Stack Master control switch, one Master Backup switch and Stack Member switches. A total of 192 ports can be integrated in a stack. You cannot mix GE and FE switches in a stack. NOTE By default, a switch is in stack mode and the Unit ID assignment is Auto. A stacking port functions as a regular ethernet port when the switch is in Stand-Alone mode, or if it is replaced by another stacking port through configuration Americas Headquarters Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706 USA http://www.cisco.com Tel: 408 526-4000 800 553-NETS (6387) Fax: 408 527-0883 Cisco, Cisco Systems, the Cisco logo, and the Cisco Systems logo are registered trademarks or trademarks of Cisco Systems, Inc. and/or its affiliates in the United States and certain other countries.

Using both system-assigned and manually-assigned IDs in your network can impact system performance. Changing the stacking mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch. The following diagrams illustrate the SFE and the SGE devices in a stack: 181055 180778 4 Connecting Devices For an example of a possible network configuration, see the application diagram shown below. Cable/ Internet DSL Modem Router 10/100/1000 Wireless Desktop Notebook Access Point Router 194624 Perform the steps in this section to connect devices to the switch. STEP 1 Connect devices such as a PC, IP Phone, Access Point, or a Server to one of the numbered ports on the switch using an Ethernet cable. STEP 2 Connect uplink devices, such as a Cisco Small Business RV082, WRVS4400N, or another type of router to one of the uplink ports on the switch using an Ethernet cable. NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5E or better cable. When you connect your network devices, make sure you don't exceed the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). STEP 3 If you are using the mini-GBIC port, insert the mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For more instructions about the mini-GBIC module, see the instructions that came with the module. STEP 4 If required, power on the devices connected to the switch. The corresponding LED for each active port will light up on the switch. STEP 5 You are now ready to begin configuring the switch. For details, refer to the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide. 5 Getting Started with the Configuration This section contains information for starting to provision the switch features. The switch can be configured in three ways - over IP using the embedded Web GUI, over IP using Telnet (simple configuration and diagnostics), and using the console port. The default static IP address is 192.168.1.254 and the default management VLAN for the static IP address is VLAN 1. The default user name is admin and the default password is admin. To configure the switch over IP with Web GUI and Telnet: STEP 1 Connect a PC to any of the non-stacking ethernet ports with an Ethernet cable. STEP 2 Open a web browser. Cisco recommends Internet Explorer version 7 or later, or FireFox version 3. If you are prompted to install an Active-X plugin when connecting to the switch, follow the prompts to accept the plugin. STEP 3 Enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar and press Enter. For example, if the switch is using the default IP address, enter http:// 192.168.1.254. The Login Page opens. STEP 4 Enter a user name and password. Passwords are both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. STEP 5 Click Login. The Switch Configuration Utility System Dashboard Window appears. You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide for further information. To configure the switch by using the console port: STEP 1 Connect a PC to the switch console port using the console port cable provided. STEP 2 Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the PC. STEP 3 Configure the utility with the following parameters: • 115200 bits per second • 8 data bits • no parity • 1 stop bit • no flow control STEP 4 Enter a user name and password. Passwords are both case sensitive and alpha-numeric. You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide for further information. 6 Where to Go From here Support Cisco Small Business Support www.cisco.com/go/smallbizsupport Community Online Technical Support and www.cisco.com/support Documentation (Login Required) Phone Support Contacts www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_ small_business_support_center_contacts.html Software Downloads (Login Required) Go to tools.cisco.com/support/downloads, and enter the model number in the Software Search box.
