Here is how to access the Cisco SG350 Switch's Web - Administration page.

Config Files

Please note that this only applies if you are accessing the router for the 1st time.

If you load one of Merging configuration files, the ip address for the admin page is 169.254.1.254
and the default user name and password is cisco

If you are doing this without one of our config files then follow this guide.
  1. Plug a network cable to the router/switch and to your computer.

  2. Set your computer to use an IP in the 192.168.1.x address pool.

    Default Network Access config.

    The Cisco routers/switch's come with a default network configuration in that IP pool.

    Default IP: 192.168.1.254
    In order for your computer to communicate with the router/switch you must set your computer to use an IP that is in that IP RANGE.
    The router/switch default IP can be changed configuration page once you are logged into it.

    You can find more information about it in the CISCO users manual in PAGE 8

  3. Open a navigator page to navigate to: http://192.168.1.254

    Access the Administration Page.

    Once the page loads you will be prompted to enter the user name and password to login.

    HTTP://192.168.1.254

    Default user name: cisco
    Default password: cisco



    Change default user password.

    After the login prompt, you will be asked to change that default password to whatever you want.
    It is a required step and the first one into securing you're router/switch, it is also a one time step only.

    After the default is changed, if you wish to change it again it you will have to do that in the Administration page.
    Reseting the switch to "factory defaults" that will also ask you to do this step again.



  4. The Administration page will now load and you cant start configuring your switch.


  5. Make sure the switch is running firmware 2.3.5.63 or above.
    Click on the About button on top right of the screen.

    If you have to update the firmware, refer to Cisco 350, 350X, and 550X Series Managed Switches Administration Guide -  Firmware Operations section.
