Features

Management Interface Options

The Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches are designed for plug-and-play o per ation : you only ne ed to assign bas ic IP informatio n t o the switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have specific network needs, you c an configure and monitor the switch —on an individual basis or as part of a switch cluster—through its various management interfaces.

You can configure and m onitor individual switches and switch clusters by using the following interfaces:

• Cluster Management Suite (CMS)—CMS is a graphical user interface that

canbelaunchedfromanywhereinyournetworkthroughawebbrowsersuch as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. CMS is already installedontheswitch,andnoadditionalinstallationis required.UsingCMS, you can fully configure and monitor a standalone switch, a sp ecific cluster member,or an entire switch cluster.You can also display network topologies to gather link information, and display switch images to modify switch- and port-level settings.

• Command-line Interface (CLI)—TheswitchCLICiscoIOSsoftwareandis

enhanced to sup port desktop- switc hing feature s. You can fully configure and monitor th e switch a nd switch cluster m embe rs from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote manage ment station.

Chapter1 Product Overview

• Simple network managem en t protoco l (SNMP) —SNMP provides a means to

monitor and control the s witch and switch cluster members. You can manage switch configuration settings, performance, security, and collect statistics by using SNMP m anage men t applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN Management Suite (LMS) and H P OpenView.

You can manage the switch from an SNMP-compatible management station that is runn ing platforms such as HP Op enView or SunNet Manager. Th e switch supports a comprehensive set of M IB extensions and f our Remote Monitoring (RMO N) groups.

For more inform ation about CMS, the CLI, and SNMP refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.

When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure t hat the cable is a straight-through, t wiste d-pa ir ca ble . W hen connecting the switch to switch es or hubs, use a crossover cable. Pinou ts fo r the cables are described in Appendix B, “Connect ors and Cable

Specifications.”

The 10/100 switch ports c an be explicitly set to operate in any combinat ion of half duplex, fu ll duplex, 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps. These ports also can be set for speed and dupl ex aut onegotia tio n, compliant with IEEE 802.3u. W he n s et f or autonegotiation, the port senses the speed a nd duplex settings of the atta ch ed device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best con nection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accor dingly.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

The 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 2900 XL switches provide proto col sup port f or Cisco IP Phones and per-port priority override. Refer to the Catalyst 2900 Se ries XL and Catal yst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide for more information a bout these feature s.

Cisco IP Phones—connected to the 10/100 port—must be connected to an AC power source. Unlike the 3524-PWR X L switch, the C atal yst 2900 XL switch es do not provide inline power.

For more info on the Catalyst 352 4-PW R X L switch, refer to the Catalyst 3 500 Series XL Hardware I nstallation Guide.

100BASE-FX Ports

The 100BASE-FX ports use 10/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic cabling. The connection distances between the switch and the attached device can be as follows:

• If the swit ch port and th e port on the attached device are configured for

half-duplex ope ratio n, the connectio n can be up t o 1352 feet (4 12 meters).

100BASE-FX Ports

• If the swit ch port and th e port on the attached device are configured for

full-duplex op er ati on , the conn ec ti on can be over dis ta nces of u p to 65 62 feet (2 kilometers).

Long-Reach Ethernet Ports

The Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) ports (Figure 1-4) use one RJ-21 connec tor to connect up to 24 Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipm en t (CPE ) devices though unstructured w iring , su ch as existing telephone lines. The link between t he LREswitchportandeachCPEdevicecanreachspeedsofupto15Mbps(full duplex) and dist ances of up to 4921 feet ( 1500 meters).

The default mo de for each L RE port is speed autonegotiation, half duplex operation. For i nfor matio n about configuring the LRE ports, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.

Chapter1 Product Overview

If telephone services, suc h as voice or integrated serv ices digital ne twork (ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the L RE port must be connected to the patch panel through a b asic telephone service, also known as plain old te lephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to t he switch and private branch exchange (PBX) swi tch or public-switched telephone net work ( PSTN)

If the other telephone services are connected thr oug h a private branch exchan ge (PBX) switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private tel ephon e networks and the public system t elepho ne network (PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), re fer to the Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.

If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required to d irectly con nect to the PSTN. For more information about homol ogated POTS splitters, contact y our Cisco sales representative.

Powering On the Switch and Running POST

To p ower on the switch after you install it, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect one end of the AC power cord to th e AC power connector on the switch. Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.

As the switch powers on, it begins POST,a series of eight tests that run automatically to ensure that the switch f unctions properly. When the switch begins POST, the por t LEDs turn a mber for 2 seconds, and then they turn green.

The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LE D turns off. As each tes t runs, th e port LEDs, starting with number 1 , tur n o ff. The port LEDs for po rts 2 to 8 each turn off in turn as the system completes a test .

When POST compl etes successfully, the port LEDs re turn to the status mode display, indicati ng that the switch is operational . If a test fails , the port LED associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. If POST fails, refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” t o determine a course of act ion.

POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Sy stems immediately if your switch does not pass PO ST.

Connecting to a 10/100 Port

The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. I f the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex param eters.

Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters man ua lly set can red uce performance or result in no linkage. To maximize perfor manc e, choose one of these methods f or configuring the 10 /100 Ethernet por ts:

Depending on the switc h mode l, you ca n conn ect t he LRE por t to eit her 12 or 2 4 Cisco 575 LRE customer prem ises equipment (CPE) devices through a pa tc h panel. If tel epho ne services, such as voice or in tegrat ed s er vice s digital network (ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, you must connect the LRE to a plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter.

Note If no other telephone services travel on the same wiring as LRE traffic, the

LRE switch connects directly to a patch panel.

Connecting the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter requires a male-to-male RJ-21 cable, category 3 or above.You can order RJ-21 cables from your cable vendor, or yo u can order the se cables from your Cisco sal es representative:

Chapter2 Installation

• CAB-5-M120M120-5 (Category 5 cable wit h 90-degree, ma le -to-m ale RJ-21

connectors)

• CAB-5-M180120-5 (Ca tegory 5 cable with 120-degree , mal e-t o-m ale RJ -21

connectors)

The screws you need to secure the cable to the switch are shipped with the cable. Contact your Cisco sales rep resen tat ive for m ore information.

To connect the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect one e nd of a wiring trunk cable to the RJ-21 c onnec tor of the LRE port

on the switch. (See Figure 2-19.)

• For a 12-degree c onn ector, see the bottom Figur e 2-19.

Note The cable tie is not included with the connector and cable assembly.

Each LRE port status LED turns on when it establishes a link with a Cisco 575 LRE CPE. For more information about the LRE link between the switch LRE port and the CPE, as well as i nforma tion about the configuration and management of CPE devices, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 S erie s XL Software Configuration Guide.

For more information about the C isco 575 LRE CPE device, refer to the

Cisco 575 LRE C PE Hardware Installation Guide.

If telephone services, such as voice or ISDN, use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port must be co nnec ted to the patch panel throug h a basic telepho ne service, also known as plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-f reque ncy) and voice (low-freq uen cy) tr affic from the telephone line t o the switch and private branch exchange (PBX) swit ch or public-switched te lephon e network (PSTN).

If the other telephone s ervi ces are connected through a PB X switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private telephone networks a nd the public system telephone network (PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.

2-32

Note If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not

needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.

CHAPTER

Troubleshooting

The LEDs on the front p anel of the Cataly st 2900 series X L switch provide troubleshooting information abo ut the switch. They show failures in the power-on self-test (PO ST ), port-connectivity p ro bl ems, and overall switch perfo rmanc e . For a full description of the switch LEDs, see the “LED s” sectiononpage1-9.

You can also get statistics from the browser interface, f rom the command-line interface (CLI), or from an SNMP workstation. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL

and Catalyst 350 0 S erie s XL Software Configuration Guide, the Catalyst 2 900 Series XL and Catalyst 350 0 Series XL Comm and Reference,orthe

documentation that came w ith your SNMP application for details. This chapter describes the following topics for troubleshooting problems:

• Understanding POST Re sults

• Diagnosing Problems

78-6461-03

Catalyst 2900SeriesXL Hardware Installation Guide

3-1

Understanding POST Results

Each time the switch is powered on, eight POSTs run automatically to check the most important system components before the switch begins forwarding packets. When the switch begins its POST, the port status LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and t hen they turn green. As each test runs, the port st atus LED s turn off, starting with number 1x. The port status LEDs for ports 2x to 8x each turn off in turn as the system completes a test.

When the POS T completes succes sfull y, the port sta tus LEDs go o ff, indic atin g that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port status LED associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. Table 3-1 lists th e eight POST tests and their associated LEDs.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Sy stems if your switch does not

pass POST.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

Correcting Module POST Failures

If you in stall modules WS-X 2914 -XL or WS-X2922 -XL in a Catalyst 2924M XL or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch, the module fails POST. This failure occurs because the expan sion modules suppo rt 2 048 MAC a ddresse s and the switch supports 8192 MAC addresses. To correct the failure, restart the switch with the module installed. After the restart, the address capacity of the switch is reduced to 2048 MAC addresses.

Diagnosing Problems

Common switch problems fall into the following categories:

• Poor performance

• No connectivity

• Corrupted softwar e
