10/100/1000 PoE Ports
The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters ). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BAS E-T traffic requ ires Category
Categor y
6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traff ic can use Ca tegory 3 or Ca tegory
4 UTP cabl e.
The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and also provide Cisco
prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
The switch delivers 15.4 W o f PoE on any 24 of the 48 ports , or any comb ination of the ports del iver an
aver ag e of 7. 7 W of PoE at the sam e ti me, up to a maxim um swi t ch power ou tput of 37 0 W. On a pe r -p ort
basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access
point is connect ed .

RPS Conne ct or
Management Options
The Cisco RPS 2300 (model PWR-RPS2300) and the Cisco RPS 675 (model PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=)
support th e Catalys t
2975 switch.
Warning
Attach only the following Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle:
PWR-RPS2300 , PWR675- AC-RPS -N1=.
Connec t the Cat alyst 2975 switch and the redundant power system to the same AC power source.
Cisco RPS 2300 and RPS 675
The Cisco RPS 2300 has two output levels: –52 V and 12 V with a total maximum output power of
2300
W. The Cisco RPS 675 has two out put levels : –48 V and 12 V with a total maximum output power
of 675
W.
The RPS 2300 and RPS 675 are redundant power systems that can support six external network devices
and provide power to one failed device at a time. The RPS automatically senses when the internal power
supply of a connected device fails and provides power to the failed device, preventing loss of network

• The sequen ce in wh ich t he sw it ch es a re first powered o n mig ht affect the swit ch th at be co m es the
stack master.
• If you want a particular switch to be the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch
becomes t he stack master an d rem ain s th e st ack m aster until a m a s te r re- el ection is req u ired . A f ter
1
minute, power on the other switches in the stack.
• If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the stack master, power on all the switches
in the s tac k w ith in a 1 -minute t ime fr am e. These sw i tch es partici pa te in t he s tac k m ast er el ect io n .
Switches powered on after the 1-minute timeframe do not participate in the election.

Installing an SFP Module
When installing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables
from conta min atio n and am bie nt ligh t.
• Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
SFP module more often than is absolutely necessary.
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecti ng ca bl es t o th e s w i tch a nd o th er d evic es .
Step 1Attach an ESD-p reven tive w ris t s tr ap t o yo u r w r ist and to a b a re metal su rface.
Step 2Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that
show the d irect io n of t he co n nec ti on , e it he r s en d or r ece ive (T X or R X ) .
Step 3If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Chap te r 2 Switch Ins tallati o n
Step 4Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector on the module
snap into plac e.
Step 5If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the SFP dust plugs and save.
Step 7Connect the SFP cables.

Step 1Attach an ESD-p reven tive w ris t s tr ap t o yo u r w r ist and to a b a re metal su rface.
Step 2Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 4If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp
latch is obs t ru c t e d and yo u canno t u s e your finge r, us e a smal l, fl a t- b lade s cr ewdriver o r ot her lo ng ,

You can identify this situation because the port has many packet errors or the port constantly flaps (loses

• Examine or swap the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable.
• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP
module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and
the MMF ca bl e on bot h th e s en di ng a nd re ce iv in g e nds of the l in k. L ink distanc es gr ea ter th an 984 fe et (300 m) req uir e t he

Console Po rt Adapter Pinout s
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to
connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female
DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part
number AC S-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco.

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based
Setup Program
This appendix provides a CLI-based setup procedure for a Catalyst 2975 standalone switch or a switch
stack. Before powering the switch to run the setup program, review the safety warnings in
“Switch Installation.”
Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup
You can acce ss t he CLI on an u nc onf igu re d swi t ch b y pl aci ng th e sw itc h i n Ex pre ss Se t up mode and th en

Express Setup m o de , f ol low th e s t ep s de s cr ib ed in the ge tti ng started g ui d e f or p owe ri ng o n th e s w it ch
and using E xp ress Setup.
When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address
10.0.0.1. Enter th e setu p user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the
section on page C-2 and th e “Completing the Setup Program” section on page C-2.

Chapter 2,
“IP Settings”
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using
the write memory privileged EX EC co mm an d .
NoteWhile in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the swit ch until yo u enter the
write memory comman d. You lose the Telnet co nn ec ti on af t er en te ri ng t he write me mo ry comma nd.

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.
[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.
[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.
If you want to save the configuration and use it the next time the switch reboots, save it in nonvolatile
