IP Services feature set is available as an upgrade option at the time of ordering or through a license at a later time.

1.Connect the switch's power supply to a grounded AC outlet till the switch's indicator lights flash which performs a self-test.

2.Turn on the "Mode" button to turn green, and then release it. 3.Connect an Ethernet cable to any of the switch's Ethernet ports to the computer. Ensure that the lights on the switch and your computer's Ethernet card are green and wait 30 seconds.

4.Open a web browser on your PC and enter "10.0.0.1" into the address bar. This brings you to the Cisco 3750's Express Setup page.

5.Enter "10.0.0.1" into the "IP Address" field of the "Basic Settings" tab. If you are connecting the switch to the Internet through a modem or router, enter the modem or router's IP address in the "Default Gateway" field. The modem or router's IP address should be in its manual.

6.Following the instructions to set and confirm the password which will be required to access the switch's configuration page in the future.

8.If you want to alter some advanced settings as well, click on the "Advanced Settings" tab. And then click "Enable" beside "Telnet Access" if you plan to use Telnet to manage the switch using a command-line interface. Enter and confirm a password into the "Telnet Password".

You must enter the "Read Community," "Write Community," "System Contact" and "System Location" information if you enable SNMP.

10.Check the "Enable IPv6" box if you wish to enable it. IPv6 features better support for mobile devices like cell phones and PDAs, simplified address auto-configuration, and improved data encryption, compared to IPv4. Enabling IPv6 will restart your switch when exiting Express Setup.
