Getting to Know the SGE2010/SGE2010P
This chapter describes the ports, LEDs, and other features on the front and back panels of the switch.
The SGE2010 and SGE2010P are 48-port, layer-2 Ethernet switches that affordably expand the capability of the Linksys system. These two versions are functionally identical except the SGE2010P model offers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be used to supply power to various Linksys products over Ethernet cable.

Description |
|
|
Reset |
The Switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET |
|
opening. |
|
CAUTION: If the RESET switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the |
|
Switch will reset to its default settings. All customized user settings will be |
|
lost. |
|
|
LEDs |
The Switch uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to indicate the status of |
|
numerous functions. These functions are listed below. |
|
|
PWR |
A green PWR LED lights up to indicate that the Switch is powered on. |
|
|
FAN |
A green FAN LED lights up to indicate that the cooling fan is operating |
|
properly. A blinking red FAN LED indicates that the cooling fan has failed. |
|
|
RPS |
A green RPS LED lights up to indicate that RPS is connected and operating |
|
properly. A blinking red RPS LED indicates an RPS fault. |
|
|
MST |
A green MST LED indicates that this Switch is a stack master. |
|
|
Stack ID |
A green Stack ID LED indicates that this Switch is stacked and the |
|
corresponding number indicates its stack ID. |
|
|
Act/Link |
The green Act/Link LEDs light up to indicate a functional network link |
|
through the corresponding port with an attached device. The Act |
|
(Activity) LEDs flash to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or |
|
receiving data over that port. |
|
|
Speed |
On the SGE2010, a green Speed LED indicates that the port is linked to a |
|
100Mbps device. |
|
|
PoE |
On the SGE2010P, a green PoE LED indicates that PoE is active on that port. |

Description |
|
|
1-48 |
The Switch is equipped with 48 auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network |
|
ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support |
|
network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps. They can operate in |
|
half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to |
|
automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it, and adjust |
|
its speed and duplex accordingly. |
|
The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4W to a PoE port. With regular AC |
|
power supply, there is 360W available to all PoE ports, and 280W available |
|
with redundant power supply. |
|
Ports 45, 46, 47 and 48 are shared with miniGBIC1, miniGBIC2, miniGBIC3, |
|
and miniGBIC4, respectively. |
|
NOTE: A switch is in stacking mode by default. In stacking mode, ports 24 |
|
and 48 are reserved for use as stacking ports. For more information |
|
about stacking, refer to the SFE2010/SGE2010 Reference Guide. |
|
|
miniGBIC1-4 |
The switch provides four mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface |
|
converter) port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC expansion module, |
|
so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC |
|
port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual |
|
workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps. |
|
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules with the |
|
switch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC |
|
connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with |
|
an RJ-45 connector. |
|
NOTE: If shared ports are both connected, then the miniGBIC port has |
|
priority. |

Connecting Devices to the SGE2010/SGE2010P
Before You Install the Switch...
When you choose a location for the switch, observe the following guidelines:
•Make sure that the switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected.
•Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
•Position the switch away from water and moisture sources.
•To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches (50 mm).
•Connect the supplied power cord to the switch’s power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION: Make sure you use the power cord that is supplied with the switch. Use of a different power cord could damage the switch.
Before connecting cables to the Ethernet switch, first you will physically install the Ethernet switch. Either set the Ethernet switch on its four rubber feet for desktop placement, mount it in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide for rack-mount placement, or mount it on a wall with the wallmount brackets provided.
NOTE: The four supplied mounting brackets can be used for either wall mount or rack mount installations.
1. Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Ethernet switch.
2. Place the Ethernet switch on a desktop near an AC power source.

Connecting Devices to the SGE2010/SGE2010P
Placement Options
CAUTION: Keep enough ventilation space for the Ethernet switch so it does not exceed the environmental restrictions mentioned in the specifications.
To mount the Ethernet switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, (each Ethernet switch requires 1RU of space in the rack), follow these instructions:
1.Remove the four front screws on one side of the Ethernet switch. Retain the screws for reinstallation.
2.Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the Ethernet switch so the four holes align to the screw holes.
3.Place a rack mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws (removed in step 1).
4.Repeat steps 2 through 3 for the other side of the Ethernet switch.
5.Attach the Ethernet switch to the rack using the supplied screws.
SGE2010/SGE2010P Administration Guide |

Connecting Devices to the SGE2010/SGE2010P
1.On one of the side corners, remove the four front screws on of the Ethernet switch. Retain the screws for re-installation.
NOTE: The Ethernet switch, shown below, is mounted with the ports located on top. When the switch is mounted to a wall, the ports can be oriented in any direction.
2.Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the Ethernet switch so the four holes align to the screw holes.
3.Place a rack mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws (removed in step 1). The wall mount brackets should point towards the bottom of the Ethernet switch.
4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other corners of the Ethernet switch.
5.Attach the Ethernet switch to a wall with appropriate screws (not supplied).
CAUTION: Ensure that the Ethernet switch is securely attached to the wall.
Connecting the Cables
To connect network devices to the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions:
1.For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Ethernet switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to one of the uplink ports on the Ethernet switch.
NOTE: If connecting an Ethernet switch to an SVR3000 router, connect it to a Cascade port on the SVR3000.
2.Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
3.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.
4.If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then insert the mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For detailed instructions, refer to the documentation supplied with the mini-GBIC module.

Connecting Devices to the SGE2010/SGE2010P
Connecting the Cables
CAUTION: Observe the orientation of the mini-GBIC module before inserting it into a miniGBIC port. The bottom mini-GBIC ports are upside down in relation to the top mini-GBIC ports.
5.If you use the console interface to configure the Ethernet switch, then connect the supplied serial cable to the console port (located on the back of the Ethernet switch), and tighten the captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your PC’s serial port. (The PC must be running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
6.Connect the supplied power cord to the power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION: Make sure you use the power cord that is supplied with the Ethernet switch. Use of a different power cord could damage the Ethernet switch.
7.Power on the network devices connected to the Ethernet switch. Each active port’s corresponding Act/Link LED will light up on the Ethernet switch. If a port has an active Gigabit connection, then its corresponding Gigabit LED will also light up.
8.Proceed as needed:
•If you will use the console interface to configure the Ethernet switch, proceed to ”Console Configuration” section on page 33 for directions.
•If you use the Web-based Utility to configure the Ethernet switch, proceed to ”Web Utility Configuration” section on page 50.
