2900s should have a webpage built in, mine does. Type in http://<switchIP> and use your enabled password to get in (no username)

Thank you for such a quick reply. Here is a real dumb question I guess but how can find out the IP of this switch (well I two actually). The previous techies (3) have not left any info. Chris

Do you have a console cable that you can plug into the switch and into a computer serial port. Then all you should need is the enable password.

Bob: I don't have a cable. I've been looking ion ebay for one but I really don't want to go that route unless I have to. Any thoughts on how to determine the IP of the switch? I've run an IP scan of the network but none of the ones I found were the switches. Chris

typically a switch is given a low IP address -- x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2, etc

Do you even know the password for the device?
