Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(55)SE

When you launch Express Setup, you are prompted for the switch password. Enter the default password, 
cisco. The switch ignores text in the username field. Before you complete and exit Express Setup, you 
must change the password from the default password, cisco. 

In the “Running Express Setup” section of the Cisco IE 3000 Switch Getting Started Guide, 
Steps 8 to 10 have changed.

To run Express Setup:

Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch.

During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your 
PC has a static IP address, change your PC settings before you 
begin to temporarily use DHCP.

Connect power to the switch.

See the wiring instructions in the “Grounding the Switch” section

 

and the “Wiring the DC Power Source” 

section.

When the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the System LED blinks while 
a series of tests verify that the switch functions properly. Wait for the switch to complete POST, which takes 
approximately 1 minute.

Make sure that POST has completed by verifying that the System LED is solid green. If the switch has not been 
configured, the Setup LED blinks green. If the Setup LED stops blinking, you can still continue with the next 
step.

If the switch fails POST, the System LED turns red. See the “In Case of Difficulty” section

 

if your switch fails 

POST.
