The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default. You have to connect to the switch with a console cable - one that connects to the console port on the switch, and to the serial port on the computer - and do some initial configuration, including the IP address.The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default.

If you want to shutdown a port on a Cisco 2960 Catalyst Switch you will need to connect to the router (either SSH, TelNet or connect using the Console cable) and enter the interface you want to shutdown. You will then need to enter the shutdowncommand. An example is given below for Fast Ethernet 0/2Router> enableRouter# configure terminalRouter(config)# interface fa0/2Router(config-if)# shutdown
