Features

Management Interface Options

The Catal yst 2900 XL and Ca talys t 3500 XL switches are design ed for plug-and-play operation : you only need to assign basic IP infor mat ion to the switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have specific network need s, you c an configure and mo nitor the switch—on an individual basi s or as part of a switch cluster—through its various management interfaces.

You can configure and monitor individual switches a nd 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 installedon the switch, and no additional installation is required. Using CMS, you can fully configure and monitor a standalone switch, a sp ecific cluster member, or an entire switch cluster. You can also display n etwork topologies to gather link information, and display switch images to modify switch- and port-level settings.

Chapter1 Product Overview

• Command-line Interface (CLI)—TheswitchCLICiscoIOSsoftwareandis

enhanced to support desktop- switc hing featu res. You can full y configure and monitor the switc h and switch cluster m e mbers from the CLI. You c an access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the s witch console p ort or by using Telnet from a remote manageme nt station.

• Simple network man ag em en t proto co l (SNM P)—SNMP providesa means to

monitor and control the switch and switch cluster members. You can manage switch configuration settings, performance, security, and collect statistics by using SNM P management applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN Management Suite (LM S) and HP OpenView.

You can manage the switch from an SNMP-compatible m anagement station that is running platforms such as HP Op enView or SunN et Manager. The switch support s a comp rehensive set of MIB extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) g roups.

For more information about CM S, the CL I, and SN MP refer to the Catalyst 2900 Ser ies XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Soft ware Configuration Guide.

The 10/1 00 switch ports (see Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-4) can connect to any compatible network d evice up to 328 feet (100 m ete rs) away:

• 10BASE-T-compat ible devices, such as worksta tions, Cisco IP Phones, and

hubs throug h standard RJ-45 c onn ector s and Ca tegory 3, 4, or 5 cabling

• 100BASE-TX-compatible devices, such as high-speed workstations,

Cisco IP Ph ones, se rvers, hub s, ro uter s, and other switches thr oug h stan dard RJ-45 connectors and Category 5 cabling

10BASE-TcanuseCategory3and4cables.

When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through, twisted-pair cable. W he n connecting the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover c able. Pinouts for the cab les are desc ribe d in Appendix B, “Connectors and Cable

Specifications.”

The 10/1 00 switch ports can be explici tly set to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, 10 M bp s, or 100 Mbps. These ports also c an be set for speed and duplex aut onegotia tion, compliant with IEEE 802.3u. When set for autonegotiation, the po rt senses the speed and du plex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best c onne ction (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) a nd configures itself a ccor dingly.

The 10/100 ports on t he Catalyst 2900 XL switches provide proto col support for Cisco IP Ph ones and per-port priority override. Refer to the Catalyst 2900 Seri es XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software C onfiguration Guide for more information about these featu res.

Cisco IP Phones—conne cte d to the 10/100 port—must be conn ect ed to an AC power source. Unlike th e 3524-PWR X L switch, the Catalyst 2900 XL switch es do not provide inli ne power.

For more info on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch , refer to the Catalyst 3500 Series XL Hardware Installation 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:

100BASE-FX Ports

• If the switch port and the port on the att ache d device are configured for

half-duplex operation, the conn ect ion can be up t o 1352 fe et (412 meters).

• If the switch port and the port on the att ache d device are configured for

full-duplex operation , the connection can be over distanc es of up to 6562 feet (2 kilometers).

Long-Reach Ethernet Ports

The Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) ports (Figure 1-4) use one RJ -21 connector to connect up to 24 Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipment (CPE ) devices though unstructure d wi ring , such a s existin g tel epho ne line s.

Chapter1 Product Overview

If telephone services, such as voice or i ntegrat ed services digital ne twork (ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port must be conne cte d to the patc h panel through a basic telephone service, al so known as pl ain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter r outes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from t he telephone line to the switch and private branc h exchange (PBX) switch or public -switche d telephone network (PSTN)

If the other t el ephon e services are c onnec ted through a private bra nch exchange (PBX) switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can b e used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private telephon e networks a nd the publi c system tele phone 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.

If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required to directly connect to t he PSTN. For mor e info rmati on about h om ologated POTS splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.

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.

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects wil l heat up when connected to power and ground and can caus e serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Do not stack the chassis on any other equipment. If the chassis f alls, it can cause severe bodily injury and equipment damage.

The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Warning

To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113×F (45×C) . To prevent airflow restr iction, allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.

Warning

The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

After the switch is mounted on the wall, power the switch as described in

“Powering On the Switch and Running POST” sectiononpage2-25.

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 co rd to the AC power connec tor 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 functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the port LEDs tu rn amber fo r 2 second s, and then they turn green.

78-6461-03

Catalyst 2900 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide

Page 68

Connecting to a 10/100 Port

The Syst em LED flashes green, and the RPS LE D turns off. As each test runs, t he port LEDs, starting w ith number 1 , t urn off. The por t LEDs for ports 2 to 8 e ach turn off in turn as the sys tem completes a test.

When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs re turn to the status m ode display, indic ating that the switch is opera tiona l. 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,” to det ermine a course of action.

POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch does not pass POST.

Connecting to a 10/100 Port

The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed o f attached devices. If the attached ports d o not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed an d duplex paramete rs.

Chapter2 Installation

Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linka ge . To maximize pe rfor manc e, choose one of these metho ds for configuri ng the 10/ 100 Ethernet ports:

• Let the ports a utonegot iat e both spee d and dupl ex.

• Set the port sp eed and duplex parame ters on bo th ends o f the conne ctio n.

Connecting to an LRE Port

Step 5 Reconfigure an d reboot the connect ed device if necessary. Step 6 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to con nect each 100BASE-FX port.

Connecting to an LRE Port

Depending on the switch mo del, you can conn ect the LRE port to either 12 or 24 Cisco 575 LRE cu stome r premises equipment (CPE ) devices through a pa tch panel. If telephone services, such as voice o r integrated s erv ices digital network (ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, you must connect the LRE to a plain old tele phone service (POTS) splitter.

Chapter2 Installation

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

LRE switch connects directly to a patch panel.

Connecting the LRE port to a patch p anel 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 ord er these cab les from your Cisco sales representative:

• CAB-5-M120M120- 5 (Category 5 cable with 90-d egree, male-to-m a le RJ-21

connectors)

• CAB-5-M180120 -5 (Category 5 cabl e with 120-degree, male-to-mal e RJ-21

connectors)

The screws you need to secure the cable to the switch are shipped with the cable. Contact yo ur Cisco s ales representat ive for more information.

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

Step 1 Connect one end of a w irin g trunk c able to the RJ-21 connector of the LRE port

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

• For a 90- degree connector, see the top of Figure 2-19.

• For a 12- degree connector, see the b ott om Figure 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 t he CPE, as well as information about the configuration and managem e nt of CPE devices, refer to the Cat alyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration G uide.

For more information a bou t the Cisco 575 LRE CPE d evice, refer to the

Cisco 575 LRE CPE Hardware Inst allati on Guide.

If telephone services, such as voice or ISDN, use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port m ust be conne ct ed to the patch panel thr ough a basi c telephone service, also known as plain old telep hone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-fre quency) and voice (low-frequen cy) traffic from the telephone li ne to the switch and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public-switched telephone network (PSTN ).

If the other t elep hon e services are conn ected through a PBX switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private telephone ne tworks and the public sy stem telephone network (PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTSSplitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the Installation N otes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.

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.

Connecting to a Module Port

The PC or t ermi nal must su ppo rt VT100 terminal e m ulati on . The terminal-emulationsoftware—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the swi tch and yo ur PC or terminal possible during the setup program.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Step 1 Configure your PC- or terminal-em ulat ion software t o communicate with the

switch t hrough hardwar e flow control.

Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminalto match these

switch console p ort default characteristics:

• 9600 bau d

• 8databits

• 1stopbit

• No parity

After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate back to its original setting. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 S eries XL Software Configuration G uide for instructions.

Understanding POST Resul ts

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 then they turn green. As each te st runs, th e port stat us LED s turn off, starting with numbe r 1x. The port status LED s for port s 2x to 8x each turn off in turn as the system completes a test.

When the POST completes su cces sful ly, the po rt status LEDs go off, indicatin 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 the eight POST tests and their associated LEDs.

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

pass POST.

Correcting Module POST Failures

If you install modu les WS-X2914-X L or WS-X2922 -XL in a Catalyst 2924M XL or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch, the module fails POST. This failure occurs because the expansion modules su ppo rt 2048 MAC addr esse s and the switch supports 8192 MAC addresses. To correct the failure, restart the switch with the module installed. A fter the restart, the address capacity of the switch is reduced to 2048 MAC a ddresse s.
