- 1. How to Configure a Catalyst 3750X Cisco's Catalyst 3750 is a wireless local area network (LAN) controller switch designed for use in commercial or other large-scale networks. It sports 24 Ethernet ports and supports connections to up to 25 wireless access points, enabling computers connected to it, or members of any wireless access point's network connected to it, to connect to each other. The Cisco 3750 thus functions as part of a larger networking system, potentially connecting hundreds or thousands of computers over a wide area. The configuration options for such a switch are myriad, but Cisco's Express Setup configuration tool will help you nail down the basics. Instructions 1 Disconnect any computers or other devices from the switch and unplug the switch's power supply. 2 Reconnect the switch's power supply to a grounded AC outlet. The switch's indicator lights will flash while it performs a self-test. Wait until the "SYST" light on the switch turns solid green, indicating the test is complete. This can take several minutes.
