3750G configuration

Hi I am a bit of a super noob ...... the long and short is I purchased a second hand pre loved 3750G 24 switch for home use. In all honesty I don't really want to dig deep into cisco programming...although I can see lots of good things are available. To give you some background......... I want to use the switch for connecting 7 ethernet cat 6 points situated across my house - these are used for:- general computing, smart TV's, DVR's,streamers etc. So I have seven cables coming into the switch, 3 more from a unifi wireless system - (2 ap's and one cloud key) I also intend in the near future to install a digital security system - using poe cameras from ubiquiti G3's  AF models.

So my thoughts were - I would need more ports - poe - and the possibility of maybe creating a vlan for 4 security cameras so that the traffic generated by constant streams - did not effect my general network traffic.

 

I am hoping somebody here could hold my hand advise me - and help me set up the switch. 

 

I have been told my switch has been set to its base factory config - and I have tried it with my laptop it found the laptop and connected to the internet just fine. Currently my cisco switch is connected via one of the lan ports to my Asus router DSL AC68U ........ 

 

It would be very much appreciated if somebody - could advise me and help me through this step by step - kind regards

Hi thanks for all your help so far ... I am busy at present but will get back onto it shortly.......... presently the good news is the switch is up and ....... running and it is quick. My whole network seems to have improved - I notice that my small branch un-managed switches leds seem to blink far less often - and the network seems to have calmed down a bit.

So speed I think has improved and connectivity seems excellent..... not bad for a second hand switch costing £70.

My poe is mainly 24v - so I am using a multipoint injector for all my Ubiquiti ........... but I still would like the 42v capability to be activated....shortly. Thanks all for the kind help....will post again in about a week with my switch readouts.

cool glad you got it up working
