1    Take Out What You Need

Catalyst 1900 series switch

Catalyst 1900 Series Quick Start

Catalyst 1900 Series Installation and Configuration Guide


RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover console cable
Black AC power cable
RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial connector
RJ-45-to-DB-25 terminal connector
Rack-mount kit
Rubber feet

Note You need to supply Category 3, 4, or 5 straight-through or crossover UTP cables to connect to Ethernet devices.

2    Cable the Switch


Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports when one of the ports is designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X.

Connect to Workstations, Servers, and Routers

Connect to Switches and Hubs



Connect the Console Cable

1 ) Configure your terminal, PC, or laptop to match these characteristics of the CONSOLE port on the switch:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity, and no flow control.

2 ) Connect the supplied rollover cable to the CONSOLE port on the switch.

3 ) Connect the other end of the rollover cable to your terminal, PC, or laptop (use an adapter, if necessary).

4 ) From your terminal, PC, or laptop, start the terminal emulation program.

Power Up the Switch

1 ) Connect one end of the power cord to the switch and the other end to a power source.


Note You can use the internal power supply and/or the Cisco 600W AC redundant power system (RPS). Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS receptacle.

2 ) Wait approximately 2 minutes for the switch to complete its power-on self-test (POST) and to discover the network.

3    Assign IP Information to the Switch

Assign an IP address to the switch so that you can use the web console and the switch can communicate with local routers and the Internet. Contact your system administrator for the switch IP information, and record it here.

Switch IP address:

Subnet mask:

Default gateway:

1 ) After POST completes, the Management Console Logon Screen appears on your terminal, PC, or laptop. Enter the [I] IP Configuration option from this logon screen.

3 ) Enter the IP address of the switch at the prompt:

Enter administrative IP address in dotted quad format (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn): Current setting ===> 0.0.0.0 New setting ===>

The IP address appears on the
IP Configuration Menu.


4 ) If you want, you can also enter the subnet mask and default gateway from the IP Configuration Menu. If the switch is connected to a network that has a DHCP server, the server assigns this information automatically.

5 ) Enter the [X] Exit option until you exit from the menu console.

4    Display the Web Console

After you assign an IP address to the switch, you can display the web console.

1 ) Start Netscape Communicator 4.xx or Internet Explorer 4.xx.

If you use Netscape 4.xx, enable JavaScript in the Advanced Preferences list. If you use Explorer 4.xx, JavaScript is enabled by default.


2 ) Enter the IP address of the switch in the Location field if you are using Netscape (the Address field if you are using Internet Explorer), and press Return. The Basic System Configuration page appears.


The switch is designed to operate with little or no user intervention. In most cases, you can use it with its default settings as soon as you assign it an IP address. You can also use the web console to change the switch configuration and monitor network conditions and statistics.


Note The Catalyst 1900 Series Installation and Configuration Guide provides complete information about the web console and describes how to configure the switch.
