Troubleshooting Express Setup

If Express Setup does not run, or if the Express Setup page does not appear in your browser:

Did you verify that POST successfully ran
before starting Express Setup?

If not, make sure that only the SYST and
STAT LEDs are green before pressing the
Mode button to enter the Express Setup
mode.

Did you press the Mode button while the
switch was still running POST?

If yes, wait until POST completes. Power
cycle the switch. Wait until POST completes.
Confirm that the SYST and STAT LEDs are
green. Press the Mode button to enter
Express Setup mode.

Did you try to continue without confirming
that the switch was in Express Setup mode?

Verify that all LEDs left of the Mode button
are green. If necessary, press the Mode
button to enter Express Setup mode.

Does your PC have a static IP address?

If yes, change your PC settings to temporarily
use DHCP before connecting to the switch.

Did you connect a crossover cable instead of
a straight-through Ethernet cable between a
switch port and the Ethernet port of the PC?

If yes, connect a straight-through cable to an
Ethernet port on the switch and the PC. Wait
30 seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in the
browser.

Did you connect the Ethernet cable to the
console port instead of to a 10/100 or
10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the switch?

If yes, disconnect from the console port.
Connect to an Ethernet port on the switch
and the PC. Wait 30 seconds before entering
10.0.0.1 in the browser.

Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting the
switch and the PC before entering the IP
address in your browser?

If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in
the browser, and press Enter.

Did you enter the wrong address in the
browser, or is there an error message?

If yes, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and
press Enter.
