Accessing the web interface of the Cisco Catalyst 1200-8T switch is a straightforward process that allows IT professionals to configure and monitor network settings efficiently.

The switch’s web-based graphical user interface (GUI) provides an intuitive platform for managing various network functions.

Prerequisites:

• Network Connection: Ensure the switch is properly connected to your local network and powered on.
• IP Address: Determine the switch’s IP address. By default, the switch is set to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If a DHCP server is unavailable, it defaults to 192.168.1.254.

Accessing the Web Interface:

1. Configure Your Computer’s IP Address:
   • If the switch uses the default IP (192.168.1.254), set your computer’s IP to the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
2. Open a Web Browser:
   • Launch a browser and enter the switch’s IP address in the address bar: http://192.168.1.254.
3. Log In:
   • The default credentials are:
     • Username: cisco
     • Password: cisco
   • Upon first login, you’ll be prompted to change these credentials to enhance security. Cisco

Post-Login Configuration:

• Set a New Username and Password:
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to create a secure username and password.
• Assign a Static IP Address (Optional):
  • Navigate to IPv4 Configuration > IPv4 Interface to set a static IP, ensuring consistent network access. Cisco
• Save Configuration:
  • After making changes, click the save icon to apply and retain settings.
