I have been given 2 x 2970TS Switches and wondered whether I could obtain a bit of advice. The one switch has been installed at my home-office and works fine. Info given seems to pint to the fact that the switch is manageable, so we have decided to install a Wireless Security area covering approximately 50 homes.
My query though is whether I would need to configure the switch at all, using an external Wireless Access point connected to the 2970?
I noted in some of Cisco's documentation that I could access the switch by using a RJ-45 cable from a PC directly connected to any of the switch's RJ-45 ports. By entering "10.0.0.1" in my webbrowser, I should be able to access the Switch. Nothing happens though - is there a way to "reset" the switch in case the previous owners have changed the IP address? Is there another way to access it??
