starting with a Catalyst 2960-x series (WS-C2960X-48TS-L)

KiVIZION · ‎10-27-2019

Hello everybody,

I am newbies with setting cisco switch.

We bought a Catalyst 2960-x series.
I downloaded Catalyst 2960-X Switch Getting Started Guide but I can't access to Device Manager - Express Setup according to guide.

After following guide, all LED as SYST, STAT, SPEED, MAST and STACK stay green, except the LED of RPS which is off.

I use configuration via Ethernet port 1 (and also on MGM port). And my PC got correct IP... 10.0.2.2 (on Ethernet port1).
When I use internet explorer (on windows 7 and 10) to access https://10.0.0.1, I get pop up window about username and password. I put only cisco as password always according to guide. But I access to Switch Home Page with these topics:

Cisco Systems

Accessing Cisco WS-C2960X-48TS-L "Switch"

Telnet.....

Show interface....

Show diagnostic log...

Monitore the router.....

Show tech-support....

Extended Ping....

Web Console....

and Help Resources.

PS: I attached a screenshot of page which appears

I attached screenshot of switch LED after following guide instruction for Express setup

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-27-2019

HTML folder is present. The web page should be viewable.
Otherwise, use CLI because there are more features available than HTML.

thanks for trying to help me @Leo Laohoo

After your yesterday last post, I tried myself to find solution because my deadline for beginning test is today.

I found some Catalyst 2960 Switch Cisco IOS command. And I used the setup privileged EXEC command to configure the switch with its initial configuration.

I am currently connected via a network cable switched by Catalyst 2960 that I could not setted via the HTML interface.

So I did my best to setup via PuttY software with serial cable (USB A to mini-USB B).

But I always don't know why express-setup with HTML interface don't work as according in Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Switch Getting Started Guide (French version) .

Here are my running configuration (the values I modified with PuTTY are in [bold font]):

Output
