Connecting to a live Catalyst 3560

[LANnister]

Hi all

I inherited a LAN with a Cisco C3560 switch and I cannot access it.

I found some configuration files of the switch on previous admin's computers. Appreciate if someone could "decode" it for me. Below is the text of one of them:

___________________________________

I tried to SSH it using putty with default port 22 and it says connection refused, does not even ask for credentials.

SSH to a Cisco wireless controller on the same network works just fine. 

Thanks

Hi , 

 You can do SSH only from host IP address 10.15.245.1 , due to ACL restriction on line vty 0 15

access-list 1 permit 10.15.245.1

I changed my IP address to 10.15.245.1 and could not ping the Switch, neither could SSH.

Does it matter to which port of the switch I connect?

There are other config files stored in previous admin's computer under folders named as Chapter 2.1.1 scripts, Chapter 2.1.2 scripts, etc. I could share some information from there if necessary.
