Cisco SG300-10 won't let me connect

[Michaeldengl1]

Hi everyone

I'm trying to connect to my cisco sg300-10. I tried diffrent setups but everything failed so far.

I tried this solution I found in the forum which didnt work:

Give your PC a static IP:

IP Address: 192.168.1.200

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default GW: None

DNS: None

With the switch removed from the network you should be able to reach it at 192.168.1.254

I tried to connect a router as DHCP and checked the DHCP table for the IP to come up, it shows all my connected devices but not the cisco switch. 

I reseted the device after every attempt. Also I dont have the 9-Pin serial cable and would not really like to buy one just to set the swich up and I would just consider this solution if every other possibilty would fail.

Thanks a lot for any advise.

Kind regards
Michael

Hi are you trying by http and not https as well have you got active x installed on your browser

Aswell did you try several browsers in case its a compatibility issue

can you even ping 192.168.1.254 when you have your pc directly connected and set as .200

Theres only 2 ways to connect by http or by console

Admin guide explains how to connect

I go with http. 

I didnt check active x installation, but I can't even ping the switch. I doubt that's the point of failure.

The admin guide is what I followed after I failed and it basicly tells me the same things I already did... go without DHCP and set the IP manuelly, or go with DHCP and check the IP in the DHCP table.

Either way failed.

I spent now 6hours to figure out how to concect. It wont work x_x Soon I throw it out of the window, Im serious.

Just before you throw it out the window  does you system led flash to say its using the default ip and just checkling your connected to a lan port yes when trying to ping the .254

When the switch is using the factory default IP address, the System LED

flashes continuously.

If its not try a factory reset and check again

Only other option is to console into the device if you cant get http connection working
