So, can someone tell me how to configure this switch? Thanks.

1- What are you using this switch for?
2- If this model was made after 2009 it should come with a GUI installed to help configure it. Just plug an ethernet cord from your machine to the config/admin port.

What exactly are you trying to do? In all honesty, if your just using this as a switch in your house, it doesn't really require any configuration at all (all the switch ports are enabled by default, and everything is set to access mode).

If you want to access the switch interface, I recommend going the CLI route but you'll need a USB cable to connect to it (or a serial console cable). Is this a new switch?

This smells like a spam account, but if you really need help configuring it, PM me, I'd be happy to help. (Put my CCNA to use and all that.)

I'm pretty certain this is a B.S. post, but I'll play along.

As a BOFH, my first reaction is to walk you through the process to configure the switch in such a way that makes sure it never communicates with anything ever again.

But I'm feeling magnanimous this morning and will be kind.

If you have to ask that question, you have no business monkeying around with a piece of networking kit like that.

EDITED TO ADD********

Going in and looking at your profile and then at the link you posted there, and in your original post here, I'm in serious doubt that you actually PLAY this game. I'm thinking it's much more likely you created the account to try and get hits for your website or to sell network equipment to people playing the game.

I thought the CE's were the only ones with a GUI?

The simplest way to manage the switch is by using Device Manager in the switch memory. Use Device Manager for basic switch configuration and monitoring. This web interface offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access it through a web browser. 400-101 VCE

To display Device Manager:

Step 1 Start a web browser on your PC or laptop.

Step 2 Enter the switch IP address, username, and password assigned in Step 9 above, and press Enter. The Device Manager page appears. Refer to the Device Manager online help for more information. 400-201 VCE

Connecting to the com-port of the switch by using a serial to usb converter.
Starting putty - choose serial and adjust the com-port (where your usb to serial converter is connected to), speed 9600.

(let me provide you with the short term commands ;-) )

ena - to swicth to enable modus
sh run - to show running configuration
sh ip int brief - to show all ethernet interfaces

conf t - to switch to configuration modus

interface vlan 1
ip add [noe IP address out of your LAN range - for example 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0]
no shut

int range fa0/1-24 (or 48, depneds on the switch type/port value)
no shut

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [your default router - for example 192.168.1.1]

Next configuration is for management and security

enable secret (password to enter enable modus)

username [name] passwort ****** (to enable access via telnet/ssh)

line con 0
password ***** (passwort for serial/console
stopbits 1
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 30 0
logging synchronous
transport input ssh telnet
password ***** (passwort to allow acces via telnet/ssh)

I'm not sure if access via ssh is working. Depends on the software on the switch.
