How do I get the IP address off my 3 esw 540's they are already bolted up and mounted?

New IT Manager, prior IT staff did not document anything I have identified all routers and switches so far except the 3 ESW 540's throughout the building the issue is they are already bolted up in place and in use I cannot find a console port and need the ip addresses to add them to my Configuration Professional Community.

Hello,
There are a few ways we may be able to locate the IP for those switches.
The easiest option would be to download and install Cisco FindIT, that does work with the ESWs, assuming Bonjour hasn't been disabled on them.
That however only seems to work if you are in the same subnet as the management IP of the switch, I tested it a bit here in my lab.
You can also try getting into another Cisco device that is connected to those ESWs and try looking at the CDP neighbors, although I am not sure this would show you the management IP address (it does not on SG200s, although I do remember seeing that before on some Catalysts)
Another option would be to use some sort of IP scanner, but again that depends on you being in the correct VLAN when you run the scan.  You may also need to know the MAC address of the switch to make this useful. 
One other thing to note is that the ESWs do not support CCP.  They use a similar but different program called CCA (Cisco Configuration Assistant).  This may also be able to discover the device for you, but one again you would probably need to be in the management VLAN.
Having said all of that, your best bet may be to just get a console cable in there somehow.  It is on the back of the switch, on the opposite side from the power cable.  It is not a console port like on the enterprise switches, but rather a standard serial port. Of course, you will still need to know the username and password to get into them, so you may end up having to reset the switch to factory defaults regardless.
Hope that helps, and good luck getting into them,

  • I changed email address, i updated in the manage apple id page, saved info but I cannot get into my iphone because the old email address keep showing up.  How can I get the old address off my iphone??

    help me please to remove my old email address on my iphone.  I already changed the address on the apple id page, but it hasn't tranferred to the phone and I cannot use my iphone.  My head is about to explode! 

    Welcome to the Apple community JB.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

    How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
    (to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

    As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

    I haven't seen it on Linux, but if you need help let me know I'll check the Linux API's too.

  • If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

    if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

    You can either,
    A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
    or 
    B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
    What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
    IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

  • How do I get the back cover off?

    Hey guys I just bough a new GE70 2PE Apache Pro (Ge70 2PE-010US to be precise) and I want to add an SSD to it. How do I get the back cover off so I can open it up?

    Quote from: TheSarge;102473
    I figured it out. What was stumping me is that there's a screw under the god dam "Warranty Sticker."
    By the way, I am not happy that MSI made the retarded decision to replace the Windows Context Menu keyboard key with a second "\" key and move it next to the space bar. There's already a "\" key on the keyboard, MSI; Why the hell would I want two of them? Any idea how to rectify this idiocy?
    I've never really use this Windows Context Menu key.. so this never bothers me.
    but think you can ask why they have this design, I don't really notice it until you bring it up.
    I remember they have a online system.

  • 3710 How do I get the back cover off?

    3710 How do I get the back cover off?
    I had it off once to put the battery in; now it appears to be stuck.
    I 'm trying to follow the pictorial instructions, but it is not budging.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    We used 3 hands
    Two thumbs placed according to manual.
    Then at the same time by pushing with a fingernail at the end of the cover (from you third hand)  from the direction of the camera it should come of easily.

    No, they are different apps.  The beta one in icloud is for use by PC's as well as Mac's via a web browser and lets users collaborate on documents.  It can't removed.  Just ignore it if you have no use for it.

  • S750 - How many people get the power on/off/resetting issue?

    How many people get the power on/off/resetting issue?
    I've had my S750s for about 6 months, with X-Fi Elite Pro, and has been doing it since.
    Any idea on what's the cause? Something to do with the control pod?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    What do you mean exactly? On my side I have power on/off/resetting issue when the speaker are in standby mode (thus red light on the control pod) and when I switch them on via the remote control or the control pod. It makes a strange noise in the subwoofer ("clic"), the red light disappear, then a new noise and the speakers are switched on. The problem is that all volume levels (rear / side / center / sub and main) are reinitialized! I have to configure them each time this problem appears...
    I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS connected to this speaker system. For me it is related to an electrical problem in the subwoofer like if the voltage was not stable (variations).
    Regards,
    Vincent

  • I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.
