CISCO SG350-10 (01) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I mount the Cisco 350 Series switches?

Depending on your switch, there are two or three ways to install the switch:

• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop, install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
• Most of the 350 Series Cisco switches include wall-mounting slots on the bottom of the device.

Where should I avoid deploying the Cisco 350 series switch?

Do not deploy the switch in a location where any of the following conditions exist:

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C).
• Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Circuit Overloading—Adding the switch to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.

How do I install the switch into a 19-inch standard chassis?

To install the switch into a 19-inch standard chassis:

• STEP 1 Place one of the supplied brackets on the side of the switch so that the four holes of the brackets align to the screw holes, and then use the four supplied screws to secure it.
• STEP 2 Repeat the previous step to attach the other bracket to the opposite side of the switch.
• STEP 3 After the brackets are securely attached, the switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.

How do I mount the Cisco 350 series switch to a wall?

To mount your switch to a wall:

• STEP 1 Determine where you want to mount the device. Verify that the surface is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.
• STEP 2 Drill two pilot holes into the surface of the wall 94 mm apart.
• STEP 3 Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface and the base of the screw head.
• STEP 4 Place the bottom of the switch over the screws and slide the switch down until the screws fit snugly into the slots.

How do I connect the switch to the network?

To connect the switch to the network:

• STEP 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer, printer, network storage, or other network devices.
• STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports of the switch. The Ethernet port light turns green when the connection is active. Refer to Cisco 350 Series Switch Features for details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.
• STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device that you want to connect to the switch.

What type of cable is required for all ports?

A category 5e and higher cable is required for all ports. 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 the attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is connected. This behavior is normal.

What should I consider when connecting switches capable of supplying PoE?

The PoE models of the switches are PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) that are capable of supplying DC power to attaching PD (Powered Devices). These devices include VoIP 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.

How can the Cisco 350 series switch be accessed and managed?

The switch can be accessed and managed by two different methods; over your IP network using the web-based interface, or by using the switch’s command-line interface through the console port. Using the console port requires advanced user skills.

What are the default settings used when configuring the Cisco 350 series switch for the first time?

These are the default settings used when configuring your switch for the first time.

Parameter	Default Value
Username	cisco
Password	cisco
LAN IP	192.168.1.254

How do I access the switch with a web-based interface?

To access the switch with a web-based interface, you must know the IP address that the switch is using. The switch uses the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet of /24. 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 a steady green (DHCP is enabled by default).

If you are managing the switch through a network connection and the switch IP address is changed, either by a DHCP server or manually, your access to the switch will be lost. You must enter the new IP address that 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.

How do I configure the switch using the web-based interface?

To configure the switch using the web-based interface:

• STEP 1 Power on the computer and your switch.

• STEP 2 Connect the computer to any network port.

• STEP 3 Set up the IP configuration on your computer.

  • a. If the switch is using the default static IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose an IP address for the computer in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.
  • b. If the IP addresses will be assigned by DHCP, make sure that your DHCP server is running and can be reached from the switch and the computer. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from the DHCP server.

• STEP 4 Open a web browser window. If you are prompted to install an ActiveX plug-in when connecting to the device, follow the prompts to accept the plug-in.

• STEP 5 Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For example, http://192.168.1.254.

• STEP 6 When the login page appears, choose the language that you prefer to use in the web-based interface and enter the username and password.

Details on how to change the IP address on your computer depend upon the type of architecture and operating system that you are using. Use your computers local Help and Support functionality and search for “IP Addressing.”

What are the default login credentials for the Cisco SG350-28 switch?

The default username is cisco, and the default password is cisco. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

What happens after logging in with the default username and password for the first time using the web-based interface?

The Change Password page opens, and the rules for constructing a new password are displayed.

What should you do before exiting the web-based interface after making configuration changes?

Make sure that any configuration changes made are saved before exiting from the web-based interface by clicking on the Save icon. Exiting before you save your configuration results in all changes being lost.

How do you configure the Cisco SG350-28 switch using the console port?

1. Connect a computer to the switch console port using the supplied console cable.
2. Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
3. Configure the utility with the following parameters:
   • 115200 bits per second
   • 8 data bits
   • no parity
   • 1 stop bit
   • no flow control
4. Enter a username and password.

What message appears the first time you log on with the default username and password using the console port?

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]?

What should you do when prompted to change the default password using the console port?

Enter Y, and set a new administrator password.

Is password complexity enabled by default?

Yes, password complexity is enabled by default.

What should you do 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.
