Fast Ethernet fixed ports.
GBIC Module Supp or t
The Catalyst 2948G and 29 80G switc hes each have two Gigabit Ethern et uplink
ports with modular Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs).
A GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet
port module and links the port module with a fiber-optic network. For a detailed
description of Gigabi t Ethern et ports , see the “GBIC Features” section on
page 4-2.
Switch Description
For a complete list of supported GBIC modules, see Table 4-1 on pag e 4-3.
NoteThe Catalyst 2948G -GE-TX switch does not suppo rt GBIC mod ules.
The Gigabit Etherne t ports can be configured wit h any combina tion of GBIC
types.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on these modules are used primarily for backbone
interconnection o f othe r high- perf orm ance s witc hes a nd ro ut ers.
SFP Module Support
The Catalyst 2948G-GE-TX switch has four small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
module slots. The switch uses SFP modules to establish Gigabit connections. The
SFP module slots are located on the front of the switch.
An SFP module is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into an SFP
module slot, linking the por t module with a fiber-optic network.
For a list of SFP modules supported by the Catalyst 2948G-GE-TX switch, see
Tab le 4-4 on p age 4-12 .

Switch Description
NoteCatalyst 2948G-GE- TX switch onl y supports 10 00 Mbps an d full-dupl ex modes
on SFP modules.
Except for the 1000BASE-T SFP module, all of the SFP modules are used to
establish fiber-optic co nne ctio ns. You use fiber-optic cables with Lucen t (L C)
connectors to connect to an SFP module. The SFP modules support 850 to 1550
nanometer nom ina l wave lengths. T he se fiel d-re pla cea ble mo dule s p rovid e the

The RPS 300 supports six extern al network devices an d provides power to
one failed device at a time. I t a utom atic ally se nse s wh en th e power supply of
a connected device fails and provides the necessary power to the failed device
to prevent loss of network traffic. When the internal power supply of the
device has been brought up or replaced , the RPS automa tically stop s
powering the device.
Warning
Catalyst 2984G, 2948G-GE-TX, and 2980G Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the RPS receptacle.
Statement 100B

78-6286-05
Chapter 1 Product Overview
A Cisco RPS can only power one switch at a time. If more than one switch fails
at the same time, any subsequent switch is not su pported by the RPS u ntil the f irst
switch failure is resolved. For more information, refer to the documentation that
was included with your RPS.
On the Catalyst 2948G swi tch, you must use a Y cable to connec t the switc h to
two RPS 600 power supplies. Each RPS 600 has status LEDs (PSI and RPS).
On the Catalyst 2980G-A switch, eac h RPS 300 power supply has an individual
power cord and has status LEDs (PSI, PWR, and RPS).
The RPS uses redundant power supplies. If one of the power suppli es in the RPS
fails, the RPS will automatically switch over to the other power supply without
forcing the switch t o reboot.
NoteOn the Catalyst 2948G -GE-TX an d 2948G swi tches, only one power source can
supply power to the switch a t a ny one time . W hen you ar e u sing a n RPS, unplu g
the local power cord for the switch. If you are using the local power supply, the
RPS can be connected but must not be powered on. The switches can be powered
by both the internal power supply and the RPS at the sa me time.

information.
Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100 por t s on the C atal yst 2 948 G an d 298 0G sw itch es co nfigure
themselves to operate at the speed and duplex settings of attached devices. They
operate at 10 or 100 Mbps in half- or full-duplex mode. If the attached devices do
not support autonegotiat ion, the spe ed should resolve corre ctly. You can also
explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters.
The 10/100/10 00 port s on the Cat al yst 2 948 G-GE- TX sw it che s configure
themselves to oper ate at the speed setting of attach ed devi ces. These ports operate
at 10, 100, o r 1 000 Mbp s i n full -d uplex m od e. I f t he at ta ch ed devic es do no t
support autonegoti ation , you can set the spe ed .
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or devices with manually set speed
and duplex paramete rs can reduc e p erfor ma nce o r re sult i n lin k failu res be twee n
the devices. To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for
configuring the ports:
•Allow the ports to autonegotiate both speed and dupl ex for 10/100 por t s and
only speed for 10 / 100/1 000 port s.
•Set the speed and d uplex pa ram eters on both e nds of the c onne ction .
CautionTo comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements, intrabuilding
wiring must be shielded, and the shield for the wir ing must be grou nded at both
ends.
CautionTo prevent electrosta tic- di sch arge (ESD ) d ama ge, fo llow your nor ma l boa rd an d

If you have problems starting up your system, use the informa tion in this chapter
to help isolate the cause. Problems with the initial st artup are of ten caused b y poor
or improper c onnec tions. Temperature c onditions abo ve the maximu m accep table
level are rarely the source of problems at startup; however, environmental
monitoring funct ions are i nclude d in the foll owing sections bec ause they als o

For configuration questions or problems, refer to the software configuration guide
or the command re fere nce f or your swit ch.

Getting Started
Getting Started
When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:
•Power supplies are supplying power to the system.
•On Catalyst 2948G an d 2980 G swit ches, the s ystem fan a ssemb ly is
operating.
•On Catalyst 2 948G- GE-T X sw itch es, t he bl ower is ope rat ing.
If all of these conditions are met and the hardware installation is complete, refer
to the software configuration guide and the command reference for your switch to
troubleshoot the software. However, if any of these conditions is not me t, use the
procedures in this chapter to isolate and, if possible, resolve the problem.
Chapter5 Troubleshooting the Installation
Problem Solving to the System Compo nent Level
The key to success when troubleshooti ng the system is to isolate the problem to a
specific system component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing
to what it should be doing. Because a startup problem can usually be attributed to
a single component, it is more efficient to isolate the problem to a subsystem
rather than troubleshoot each component in the system separately.
The switch consists of the following subsystems:
•Power supply—Includes the power supp lies and power suppl y fans (see
“Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on pa ge 5-4)
•Fans—The fan assemb ly sh ould op er ate whe never system p ower is on. T he
fan assembly continues to operate even when the environmental monitor
shuts the system down bec ause of an overtempe ra ture or overvoltage
condition (althou gh it will shut down in the event of a power supply
shutdown).
The following are simple checks you can make to determine if there is a fan
problem:
•Determine if the software is reporting a temperature problem.
•Listen to the fan assembly to determine if it is operating.
•Check for any obstruction s that might be restric ting the ai rflow throu gh the
switch.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the Ins tal la ti on
If you encounter a pro blem in pe rform ing any of the ab ove checks, you shoul d
contact a cus tomer s ervic e repr esent ative.
Identifying Startup Problems
LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the LEDs,
you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. If
you have problems after the switch is powered on and the startup sequence is
complete, refer to the software configuration guide for your switch.
After you co nnec t t he p ower cord to th e Ca taly st 29 48G , 29 48G -GE -T X,
or 2980G switches, follow these steps:
Step 1You should immediately hear the system fans begin to opera te. If you do not, see
the “Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on page 5-4. If you det ermin e
that the power supplies are functioning normally and that the fans are faulty,
contact a cus tomer s ervic e repr esent ative.
Identifying Startup Problems
Step 2Check the power supply LEDs as follows:
•The power supply LED should turn green immediately when power is applied
to the switc h. T he LED should r emain on du ring no rm al s y stem o pera tio n.
•If the LED turns amber, see the section, “Troubleshooting the Power Supply”
section on page 5-4.
Step 3Check that the LEDs on the front panel light as follows:
•The STATUS LED flashes amber onc e and stays a mber during diagnosti c
boot tests. It turns green when the switch is operational (on line). If the
system software is unable to start up, this LED stays amber.
•The Link LED flashes amber once after diagnostic boot tests, and turns green
when the module is operational (on line). If no signal is detected, the Link
LED turns off. The Link LED blinks am ber co ntinuou sly if the port i s bad.
NoteAfter the diagnostic boot tests, the single flash of amber on the Link LED
may occur too quickl y to be detected vi sually.
•If a STATUS LED is red or amber, contact a c ustomer service representative
for instructions.

Step 4If the boot infor mati on and system banne r are not displa yed, verify tha t the
terminal is set correctly and that it is connected properly to the console port.
Troubleshooting the Power Supply
To help isolate a power subsystem problem, follow these steps:
Step 1Check the power supp ly LED:
NotePower supply LEDs are label ed PSI , PWR, and RPS.
•If the LED is ei ther o ff or a mber, unplug the p ower cord , an d then pl ug the
power cord in again.
•If the LED remains off, there migh t be a pr obl em wit h the AC source, or the
power cable. Con nect th e power co rd to a no t her p ower so urce ( if o ne i s
available).
If the LED then lights, the problem is the first power source.
•If the LED fails to light after you connect the power supply to a new power
source, replace the power cord.
If the LED still fails to light, the power supply is probably faulty.
Step 2If a Redundant Power System (RPS) is installed, check the RPS LED:
If the LED is a mb er o r o ff, rep eat the previous pr oc ed ure to tro uble sho ot the
second power supply.
NoteIf the power supply is a Cisco RPS 675 and the LED is amber, the RPS may be in
standby mode. Press the Standb y/Activ e button on the RPS to put it in acti ve mode
and the LED should th en turn to g reen.

NoteIf you are using an RPS, do not apply power to the RPS an d the switch
simultaneously. Disconnect power from the internal power supply before
turning the power on fo r the RP S. The R PS con tains mu ltipl e power
supplies for redundant power protection. Refer to the RPS documentation
for installation and configuration details.
