Hi, I haven't done anything Cisco since school about 8 years ago. I have 5 Catalyst 2960-S Switches that I am setting up.
Basically I am just wanting to assign a Static IP address to each switch, using 192.168.11.30-192.168.11.34. I will be setting up a VLAN for our wireless router, but plan to use the Cisco Network Assistant and not the CLI.
So basically I hooked up a console cable and connected and went through the basic setup.
I then went and assigned an ip address to VLAN1. So my switch config looks like:
hostname Switch
!
boot-start-marker
boot-end-marker
!
!
!
!
no aaa new-model
!
!
!
!
!
spanning-tree mode pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id
!
!
!
!
vlan internal allocation policy ascending
!
!
interface FastEthernet0
no ip address
shutdown
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/5
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/6
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/7
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/8
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/9
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/10
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/11
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/12
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/13
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/14
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/15
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/16
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/17
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/18
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/19
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/20
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/21
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/22
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/23
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/24
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/25
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/26
!
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.11.30 255.255.255.0
!
ip default-gateway 192.168.11.254
ip http server
ip http secure-server
!
line con 0
line vty 5 15
!
end
------
I then went and tried to discover the switch by going to the ip address in a web browser on the same subnet, and also using the Cisco Network assistant. I can't get to it through either. I also can't ping the IP address either.
Am I missing something completely obvious here? Do I need to have done the copy startup-config running-config command after assigning the IP address for the switch?
Or was I supposed to not assign the IP to VLAN1 and assign it to something else. I also wasn't sure what to answer to the question about Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: I answered VLAN1 to the question, was that wrong?
