This should be easy, but I’m retarded.
I recently got a 3750 E used for 30 bucks. Got a plain 3750, os that one was ok, let’s try this one. Well, it won’t let me in.
I tried express setup on a couple front ports, reset pc, reset network shit, tried a lot of stuff, back ports, nothing.
Anyone know why a 3750 E with a fresh factory reset wouldn’t let a laptop see 10.0.0.1?
I’m a little baffled. Pardon the blurry pic, didn’t go to camera app.
I have also turned off power to the switch to cold start, did factory reset after, turned wifi off on laptop, I’m lost now.
Just use a console cable and factory reset it with the button on the front of the switch

you arent stacked so skip step 1
It has a serial and a ten hundred. What do I do to connect?
should be a console port or is the express some soho thing? (console on 3750 is on the back)
never tried this but
Would one theoretically be able to butcher a USB and a patch cable, and make up a console cable?
Then would one just plug the USB end into their laptop, and it “automagically “ detect the USB cable as a Cisco device for console access? I’ve heard of using Putty in console mode, but never tried.
Just being nosey, I don’t have a switch to break play around with
I don’t think so as there is a chip that needs a driver in that $10 cable

There are some switches (and routers) that have mini-USB connections. A lot have RJ45-ish or standard D-SUB 9-pin ports.
USB to Serial adapters are cheap as are adapters.
That is how we did it in networking class at uni.
