Catalyst 1000 web gui not working

[QT76]

I just buy a Catalyst Switch 1000 (C1000-8T-E-2G-L), i did the initial setup with webgui, but now i cannot access the switch with the standard ip managment address 10.0.0.3, i cannot ping it, nothing.... My Pc is in DHCP mode, but it get just a apipa address..if i put manually an adress to my pc ( 10.0.0.10) within the same subnet, and with no other devices connected to the switch, nothing.. im connected  to the switch through normal port with normal ethernet cable, that must be enough, i think.  Right now i dont have a console cable..

Is this a good choice?  T use this i need the cisco usb driver for console cable? where i can find it? i tried here but impossible to download

Thanks for your help

i have messaged you the driver

[QT76]

thanks. Another question  the cable i did buy has a FTDI chip for cisco, and they write that i have to install the driver from FTDI website. is this the same as the cisco usb driver? i need one or the other? what is the difference?

[balaji.bandi]

config the PC with DHCP 
and connect to management port not any other port 
then try access GUI.

Management port do you mean console port? There are just this ports:

Sure  - bare in mind  i may be wrong - i just referred product document to be sure  - below is what I have seen:

thank you for sharing the video (and how to search in google) - the video does not show connecting to that port ?

Looks I may be missing here wrong interpreting the message you googled for me (thank you)

ifconfig of PC you use

I think the problem is that DCHP is not enabled on the switch.. how can i enable it? cannot without console cable, right?

Step 1	Verify that no devices are connected to the switch. Initially, the switch acts as a DHCP server.
Step 2	Confirm that the STAT LED is solid green. This indicates that POST is complete. If the STAT LED turns amber, the device failed POST. Reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power connector of your device and to a grounded AC outlet. If the STAT LED still does not turn green, contact your Cisco representative or retailer.
Step 3	Press and hold the Reset button for 3 to 4 seconds and release it. Caution: Release the Reset button after 3 to 4 seconds. Continuing to hold the Reset button for longer exits the Setup mode.
Step 4	Connect a straight-through Category 5 Ethernet cable to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the switch front panel and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Step 5	Verify that the port LEDs on the PC and on your device are solid green or blinking green. This indicates a successful connection.
Step 6	Wait 30 seconds.
Step 7	To log on to the device using an Internet browser on your PC, type the IP address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.3 in the address bar of your Internet browser and press Enter.
Step 8	Type the following default credentials: username: cisco, password: cisco and press Enter. The Configuration Setup wizard is displayed. Click Go to Wizard.
