Unable to connect to catalyst express 500

 Previously I'm able to login to web based manager(http://192.168.1.1 pre-set) but after I did the "erase startup-config" & "reload" the switch System LED is in Amber state. I followed the guideline to reset switch to factory by Turn on and hold Setup button and wait for the Amber LED then release. LAN port 1 LED light up and I connect to a PC using Straight Thru cable and set the PC IP 169.254.0.2 gateway 169.254.0.1 according to guideline but stil not able to connect to http://169.254.0.2, is it /24?? I also tried to set my PC IP to Auto and DNS to 127.0.0.1 but same thing, unable to get IP for my PC.

I noticed that System is Amber and Setup is Green all the way, the System just won't turn Green no matter how long I waited. Is it firmware corrupted?

 

Some info:

 

I'm runnig windows 7;

Catalyst Express 500

IOS 12.2(25)SEG

Hi 

 

Follow all the except set your IP address of your PC as 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0.

 

Then try accessing 10.0.0.1

 

 

managed to get in  when i set IP to 169.254.0.2/24, gateway 169.254.0.1. But after i erase config and boot with default IOS I'm not able to get in again with the same IP. I tried set IP Auto but not getting any IP address and I tested default IOS IP 169.254.0.1 also not working. Please help.

Hi

 

Are you following below Guide?

I am able to following this guide.Please take note of the below.

One of the port will blink green.

Note: For Cisco IOS Software FY series releases, the management IP address is 10.0.0.1. For Cisco IOS SoftwareSEG series releases, the IP address is 169.254.0.1.

 

Hi,

I'm managed to get in finally. I found an post in the Internet, saying that plug in the LAN cable and press Setup button in order to get the IP address. But I couldn't find this step in Cisco official guide which is very important.
