Common Terms Express Setup – Web based initial setup for Stratix 8000/8300 switches STP- Spanning-Tree Protocol MST – Multi-Instance Spanning-Tree Protocol PVST – Per-Vlan Spanning-Tree Protocol BPDU – Bridge Protocol Data Unit Portfast – allows port to skip listening/learning phase Auto-MDIX – Medium Dependent Interface Cross-Over VLAN – A virtual LAN, a group of hosts that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Stratix 6000 Initial Configuration The Stratix 6000 has a default address of 192.168.1.1 Configure Network Interface on pc to be on the 192.168.1.0/24 network Open web browser and navigate to 192.168.1.1 Leave the username blank and the password is PASSWORD Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. Express Setup for the 8000/8300 Make sure that at least one switch Ethernet port is available for Express Setup. Configure Network Interface on Computer to obtain an address ( DHCP ) Power up switch Will be ready to begin the express setup when the EIP Mod and Setup LED is blinking green. Press and release the Express setup button Connect to blinking port ( Typically FastEthernet Port 1 ) Attempt to access any web address ( re-direct ) Default password is switch with 12.2(52) and greater – blank earlier Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc.
