The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Product Overview
The Catalyst 3750 family of switches—also referred to as the switches—are stackable Ethernet switches
to which you can connect devices like Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points workstations, and
other network devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. This chapter provides a functional
overview of the Catalyst 3750 switch models. These topics are included:
• Features, page 1-1
• Front Panel Description, page 1-3
• Rear Panel Description, page 1-21

Chapter 1 Product Overview
110/100/1000 PoE ports2SFP module slots
10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
You can set the 10/100 ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex,
10 Mb/s, or 100 Mb/s. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to operate in 10 or 100 Mb/s in half or full
duplex, or in 1000 Mb/s in full duplex.
You can set both the 10/100 and the 10/100/1000 ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation, in
compliance with IEEE 802.3AB. (The default setting is autonegotiate.)
NoteYou can configure duplex mode to half, full, or autonegotiate on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if the speed
is set to 10 or 100 Mb/s. You cannot configure half-duplex mode on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if the
interface speed is 1000 Mb/s.
When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and
advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port
negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex
transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the
attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).
The 10/100 or the 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the switch provide PoE support for devices that are
compliant with IEEE 802.3af. They also provide Cisco pre-standard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones
and Cisco Aironet Access Points.

OL-6336-10
Chapter 1 Product Overview
On 24-port switches, the ports can deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE. On the 48-port switches, any 24 of the
48 ports can deliver 15.4 W of PoE, or any combination of the ports can deliver an average of 7.7 W of
PoE at the same time, up to a maximum switch power output of 370 W.
Each of the Catalyst 3750G-24WS-S25 and 3750G-24WS-S50 switch PoE ports can deliver up to
15.4 W of PoE.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether a Catalyst 3750 PoE port automatically provides power
when an IP phone or an access point is connected. The device manager and the CLI provide two PoE
settings for each 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE port: Auto (the default) and Never.
• When you select Auto, the port only provides power if a valid powered device, such as an
• When you select Never, the port does not provide power even if a Cisco IP phone or an access point
Cisco enhanced power negotiation allows some powered devices, such as the Cisco 7970G IP Phone, to
operate in high-power mode on Catalyst 3750 PoE switches. The powered device and the switch
negotiate through power-negotiation Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) messages for an agreed-upon
power-consumption level. The negotiation allows a high-power Cisco powered device that consumes
more than 7 W to operate at its highest power mode. The powered device first boots up in low-power
mode, consumes less than 7 W, and negotiates to obtain enough power to operate in high-power mode.
The device changes to high-power mode only when it receives confirmation from the switch. High-power
devices can operate in low-power mode on switches that do not support power-negotiation CDP.
For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the device manager online help and the
switch software configuration guide.

Cisco access point, is connected to it.
is connected to it. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the device
manager online help and the switch software configuration guide.
NoteYou also can connect a Cisco IP Phone or Cisco Aironet Access Point to a Catalyst 3750 PoE switch
10/100 or 10/100/1000 port and to an AC power source for redundant power. The powered device might
change to the AC power source as its primary power source when connected to it. In that case, the PoE
port becomes the backup power source for the powered device.
If the primary source fails, the second power source becomes the primary power source to the powered
device. During the power transfer, an IP Phone might reboot or reestablish link with the switch.
For information about Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points, see the documentation that
came with your IP phone or access point.
Note100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires a Category 5 or later cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use
Category 3 or Category 4 cables.
When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the
cable is a straight-through cable. When you connect the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable.
When using a straight-through or crossover cable for 1000BASE-T connections, be sure to use a twisted
four-pair, Category 5 or later cable for proper operation. Pinouts for the cables are described in
Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”
OL-6336-10
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
1-11
10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When you enable the auto-MDIX feature,
the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, no matter what type of
device is on the other end of the connection.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE or
later. For releases between Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the auto-MDIX feature is
disabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration
guide or the switch command reference.
Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully
support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.
100BASE-FX Ports
The 100BASE-FX ports use 50/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic cabling. In full-duplex
mode, the cable length from a switch to an attached device cannot exceed 6,562 feet (2 kilometers).
The 100BASE-FX ports operate only at 100 Mb/s in either full- or half-duplex mode and do not support
autonegotiation. The half-duplex mode is the default setting.
You can connect a 100BASE-FX port to an SC or ST port on a target device by using one of the
MT-RJ fiber-optic patch cables that are listed in Table B-1 on page B-3.

SFP Modules
The Catalyst 3750 switch uses Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules to establish connections to other devices.
These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP
module slot. You can use the SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections to other switches. You use
fiber-optic cables with LC or MT-RJ connectors to connect to a fiber-optic SFP module. You use a
Category 5 or higher cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect to a copper SFP module.
For more information about these SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation.
XENPAK Module Slot (Catalyst 3750G-16TD Switch)
The Catalyst 3750G-16TD switch uses 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK modules to establish connections
to networks. You install the modules in the module slot in the switch front panel. See Table B-2 on
page B-4 for a list of XENPAK modules that the Catalyst 3750G-16TD switch supports.
NoteThe 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK modules are referred to as 10-Gigabit Ethernet module ports in the
software documentation.

PoE problems if they are detected. The Catalyst 3750G-S-SD does not have a PoE LED.
The stack LED shows the sequence of member switches in a stack. Up to nine switches can be members
of a stack. The first nine port LEDs show the member number of a switch in a stack. Figure 1-19 shows
the LEDs on the first switch, which is stack member number 1. For example, if you press the Mode

Power Connectors
The switch is powered through the internal power supply. Except on the Catalyst 3750G-12S-SD switch,
you can also connect the Cisco RPS 2300 or the Cisco RPS 675 to provide backup power should the
switch internal power supply fail.
NoteThe Catalyst 3750 switch and the redundant power systems should be connected to the same
AC power source.
Internal Power Supply Connector
Rear Panel Description
The internal power supply is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC.
Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power outlet.
DC Power Connector
The Catalyst 3750G-12S-SD has an internal DC-power converter. It has dual feeds (A and B) that are
diode-OR-ed into a single power block. For installation instructions, see Appendix C, “Connecting to
DC Power.”
CautionYou must connect the Catalyst 3750G-12S-SD switch only to a DC-input power source that has an input
supply voltage from –36 to –72 VDC. If the supply voltage is not in this range, the switch might not
operate properly or might be damaged.
Cisco RPS Connector
The Cisco RPS 2300 (model PWR-RPS2300) and the Cisco RPS 675 (model PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=)
support the Catalyst 3750 family of switches, except for the Catalyst 3750G-12S-SD switch.
Cisco RPS 2300
The Cisco RPS 2300 has two output levels: –52 V and 12 V with a maximum output power of 2300 W.
The Cisco RPS 2300 is a redundant power system that provides seamless failover for up to six network
devices for internal power supply failures. It automatically senses if an internal power supply of a
connected device fails and immediately supplies power to the failed device. For more information on the
Cisco RPS 2300, see the Cisco RPS 2300 Redundant Power System Hardware Installation Guide.

Console Port
Chapter 1 Product Overview
The Cisco RPS 675 has two output levels: –48 V and 12 V with a maximum output power of 675 W. Use
the supplied RPS connector cable to connect the RPS to the switch.
The RPS is a redundant power system that can support six external network devices and provides power
to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected
device fails and provides power to the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic. For more
information on the Cisco RPS 675, see the Cisco RPS 675 Redundant Power System Hardware Installation Guide.
You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female
cable. If you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal, you need to provide an
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing
that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Connector and Cable
Specifications” section on page B-1.
NoteOn the Catalyst 3750G-24WS-S25 and the 3750G-24WS-S50 switches, there are two console ports; the
switch console port and the controller console port. The controller console port can be used to directly
configure the controller if you lose connectivity between the switch and the controller.
Management Options
The Catalyst 3750 switches offer several management options:
• Network Assistant
Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network management GUI application optimized for LANs
of small and medium-sized businesses. Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized management of
Cisco switches that range from the Cisco Catalyst 2950 through the Cisco Catalyst 4506. Through

Preparing for Installation
Installation Guidelines
When you decide where to place the switch, be sure to observe these requirements:
• For copper Ethernet ports, including 10/100 ports, 10/100/1000 ports, and 1000BASE-T SFP
module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
• See Table B-3 on page B-5 for a list of cable specifications for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX,
1000BASE-ZX, and CWDM fiber-optic SFP module connections. Each port must match the
wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable
must not exceed the stipulated cable length.
• See the Catalyst 3750 release notes for cable requirements for XENPAK module connections. Each
port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable
communications, the cable must not exceed the required cable length.
NoteWhen you use shorter distances of single-mode fiber cable, you might need to insert an inline optical
attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 25 km, you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline
optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP
module at each end of the link.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation
• The operating environment must be within the ranges listed in Appendix A, “Technical
Specifications.”
• Clearance to front and rear panels must be such that
–
You can easily read the front-panel indicators.
–
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
Make sure that there is access to the rear of the rack if you are planning to stack the switches.
If you do not have access to the rear panel, make sure that you cable the switches before you
rack-mount them.
–
The AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch
rear panel.
• Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures. Make sure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the
cables.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents must be unrestricted.
• Temperature around the unit should not exceed 113°F (45°C).
NoteIf you install the switch in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be
greater than normal room temperature.
• Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers. However,
these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup inside the
chassis, which can result in a system malfunction.
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign
conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).

Tools and Equipment
You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
Verifying Switch Operation
Verifying Switch Operation
Before you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, you should power on the switch
and verify that the switch passes POST. See the “Running Express Setup” section in the getting started
guide for the steps required to connect a PC to the switch and to run Express Setup.
Powering On the Switch and Running POST
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC power source. See the
“Power Connectors” section on page 1-25, and see the Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
NoteAlways set the RPS in standby mode when you are connecting devices to it and in active mode during
normal operation.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch,
and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
To power on a DC switch, see Appendix C, “Connecting to DC Power,” for complete instructions.
Warning
Attach only the Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle:
PWR-RPS2300, PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=.
Statement 370
OL-6336-10
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute.
When the switch begins POST, the System, the RPS, the Master, the Status, the Duplex, the Speed, and
the Stack LEDs turn green. (On the PoE switches, the PoE LED also turns green as POST begins.) The
System LED flashes green, and the other LEDs remain continuous green.
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
2-7
Planning the Stack
When POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for
some time and then returns to its operating status. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating
status. When POST fails, the System LED turns amber.
NotePOST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
Powering Off the Switch
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a
wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the “Installing the Switch” section on page 2-11.
Planning the Stack
If you plan to stack your switches, read these sections:
• Planning Considerations, page 2-8
• Powering Considerations, page 2-8
• Cabling Considerations, page 2-9
Chapter 2 Switch Installation
• Recommended Cabling Configurations, page 2-10
Planning Considerations
Before connecting the Catalyst 3750 switches in a stack, observe these planning considerations:
• Size of the switch. For switch dimensions, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.” Some
switches are deeper than the other switches. Stacking switches of the same size together makes it
easier to cable the switches.
• Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need cables of different
sizes. If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you
require the 1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable
numbers, see the “StackWise Ports” section on page 1-24. The “Recommended Cabling
Configurations” section on page 2-10 provides examples of recommended configurations.
• Access to the rear ports for unrestricted cabling.
Make sure that you have access to the rear of the rack if you plan to stack the switches. If you do
not have access to the rear panel, make sure that you cable the switches before you rack-mount them.
• For concepts and procedures to manage switch stacks, see the switch software configuration guide.
Powering Considerations
2-8
Consider the following guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:
• The sequence in which you initially power on the switches might affect the switch that becomes the
stack master.
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
OL-6336-10
Chapter 2 Switch Installation
• If you want a particular switch to become the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch
becomes the stack master and remains the stack master until a master re-election is required. After
approximately 10 seconds, power on the remaining switches in the stack.
• If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the stack master, power on all the switches in
the stack within a 10-second timeframe. These switches participate in the stack master election.
Switches powered up after the 10-second timeframe do not participate in the election.
• Power off a switch before you add it to or remove it from an existing switch stack.
NoteFor conditions that can cause a stack master re-election or to manually elect the stack master, see the
“Managing Switch Stacks” chapter in the switch software configuration guide.
Cabling Considerations
The illustrations in this section display cabling configuration examples that show the stack bandwidth
and possible stack partitioning.
Figure 2-1 shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches that provides full bandwidth and
redundant StackWise cable connections.

Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 show examples of stacks of Catalyst 3750 switches with failover conditions.
In Figure 2-3, the StackWise cable is bad in link B; therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth
and does not have redundant connections. In Figure 2-4, link B is bad; therefore, this stack partitions into
two stacks, and switch 1 and switch 3 are stack masters.

Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in
the rack.
Statement 1006
To install the switch in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack (24-inch racks require optional mounting hardware),
follow the instructions described in these procedures:
• Removing Screws from the Switch, page 2-12
• Attaching Brackets to the Catalyst 3750G-24TS Switch, page 2-14
• Attaching Brackets to the Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switches, page 2-17
• Attaching Brackets to All Other Catalyst 3750 Switches, page 2-18
• Mounting the Switch in a Rack, page 2-24
• Attaching the Cable Guide, page 2-26
NoteWhen you install the switch in a 24-inch rack, an optional bracket kit that is not included with the switch
is required. You can order a kit containing the 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco.
For the Catalyst 3750G-24TS switch, order part number RCKMNT-3550-1.5RU=. For the other
Catalyst 3750 switches, order part number RCKMNT-1RU=. The Catalyst 3750G-24WS-S25 and the
3750G-24WS-S50 switch do not support 24-inch rack-mounting.
Removing Screws from the Switch
If you plan to install the switch in a rack, you must first remove the screws in the switch chassis so that
you can attached the mounting brackets.
• Figure 2-9, Figure 2-10, and Figure 2-11 show how to remove the chassis screws in a 1-rack-unit
(RU) switch.
• Figure 2-12 shows how to remove the chassis screws in a 1.5-RU switch.
• Figure 2-13 shows how to remove the chassis screws in a 2-RU switch.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules
These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into
SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 3750 switches. These field-replaceable modules provide
uplink interfaces.
You can use any combination of SFP modules. See the Catalyst 3750 release notes for the list of
SFP modules that the Catalyst 3750 switch supports. Each port must match the wave-length
specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for
reliable communications. See the “Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-6 for cable stipulations for
SFP connections.
Use only Cisco SFP modules on the Catalyst 3750 switch. Each SFP module has an internal serial
EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify
and validate that the SFP module meets the requirements for the switch.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP module, see your SFP module
documentation.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Figure 2-47 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.
CautionWe strongly recommend that you do not install or remove fiber-optic SFP modules with cables attached
because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the
SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert
SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached
devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex
parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters
manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Warning
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.
You can configure the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the switch to either automatically provide
PoE when a Cisco IP Phone, Cisco Aironet Access Point, or end device compliant with IEEE 802.3af is
connected. Alternatively, you can configure them to never provide PoE, even if an IP phone or an access
point is connected. The default setting is Auto. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and
component handling procedures.
Statement 1072
OL-6336-10
Use the guidelines in Tab le 2- 1 to select the correct cable for connecting the switch 10/100 and

1. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher
cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cable.
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled,
the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of
device on the other end of the connection.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE or
later. For releases between Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the auto-MDIX feature is
disabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration
guide or the switch command reference.
Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices:
CautionPoE faults are caused when noncompliant cabling or powered devices are connected to a PoE port. Only
standard-compliant cabling can be used to connect Cisco pre-standard IP Phones and wireless access
points or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices to PoE ports. A cable or device that causes a PoE fault must
be removed from the network.
Step 1When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect a
straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-55.) When you connect
the switch to other switches or to repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the “Cable and Adapter
Specifications” section on page B-5 for cable-pinout descriptions.)
When you connect a switch to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, be sure to use a twisted four-pair,
Category 5 or later cable.
You can connect the Catalyst 3750 switch to a Cisco IP Phone through a straight-through, twisted
four-pair Category 5 or later cable. The rear panel of the Cisco IP Phone might have more than one RJ-45
connector. Use the LAN-to-phone connector to connect the Cisco IP phone to the switch. See the Cisco
IP Phone documentation for more information about connecting devices to it.
NoteMany legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not
fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a
crossover cable.

might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,”
for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 6If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
Where to Go Next
If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch needs no further configuration. You can use any of
these management options to change the default configuration:
• Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone
switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring.
You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser.
For more information, see the device manager online help.
• Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco
Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an
individual switch.
• Use the CLI to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch from the
console. See the Catalyst 3750 SwitchCommand Reference on Cisco.com for information on using
the CLI with a Catalyst 3750 switch.
• Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.

Troubleshooting
The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show failures
in the power-on self-test (POST), port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. For a full
description of the switch LEDs, see the “LEDs” section on page 1-13.
You can also get statistics from the browser interface, from the command-line interface (CLI), or from
a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) workstation. See the software configuration guide, the
switch command reference guide on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP
application for details.

Diagnosing Problems
Verify Switch POST Results
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. It might take several minutes for the switch to complete POST.
When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks green. When POST completes, the system
LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If POST completes successfully, the
system LED rapidly blinks green.
NotePOST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does
not pass POST.
Monitor Switch LEDs
You must have physical access to the switch to do this. Look at the port LEDs for troubleshooting
information about the switch. See the “LEDs” section on page 1-13 for a description of the LED colors
and their meanings.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Verify Switch Connections
Review this section when troubleshooting switch connectivity problems.
Bad or Damaged Cable
Always look at the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might connect at the physical layer but
then cause packet corruption because of subtle damage to its wiring or connectors. You can identify this
situation because the port will have many packet errors, or the port constantly loses and regains link. In
these situations:
• Change the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable if necessary.
• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.
• Rule out any insufficient patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the
destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel or eliminate faulty media convertors, such as
fiber-optic-to-copper convertors.
• Try using the cable in another port or interface to see if the problem also exists there.
Ethernet and Fiber Cables
Make sure that you have the correct cable type for the connection:
• For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connections.
Use either Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s
connections.
3-2
• For fiber-optic connectors, verify that you have the correct cable for the distance and port type.
Make sure that the ports on the connected device match and that they use the same type of encoding,
optical frequency, and fiber type. For more information about cabling, see Appendix B, “Cable and
Adapter Specifications.”
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
OL-6336-10
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Link Status
Diagnosing Problems
• For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through cable was
required or the reverse. Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable.
Verify that both sides have link. A single broken wire or one shutdown port can cause one side to show
link, but the other side does not have link.
A link LED does not guarantee that the cable is fully functional. The cable might have encountered
physical stress that causes it to function at a marginal level. If the link light for the port does not come on:
• Connect the cable from the switch to a known, good device.
• Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.
• Verify that both devices have power.
• Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See Appendix B, “Cable and Adapter
Specifications,” for more information.
• Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated, but is not. Disconnect and then
reconnect the cable.
PoE Connections
When a powered device is connected to PoE port, but no power is received, you should:
• Use the Mode button to show the PoE status for all ports. See Table 1-5 on page 1-17 for a
description of the LEDs and their meanings.
• Monitor the port status by using the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to check the port
error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown status. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify that the power supply installed in the switch meets the power requirements of your connected
devices. See the “Power Connectors” section on page 1-25 for more information.
• Check the cable type. Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access
points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switch
by a crossover cable. Replace the crossover cable with a straight-through cable.
CautionPoE faults are caused when noncompliant cabling or powered devices are connected to a PoE port. Only
standard-compliant cabling can be used to connect Cisco pre-standard IP phones and wireless access
points or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices to PoE ports. (You must remove a cable or device that causes
a PoE fault from the network.)
Transceiver Module Port Issues
Use only Cisco SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is
encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that
the module meets the requirements for the switch. Check these items:
• Bad or incorrect SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known, good module. Verify that
this module supports this platform. See the “SFP Module Slots” section on page 1-12 for a list of
supported SFP modules.
OL-6336-10
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
3-3
Diagnosing Problems
• Bad or incorrect XENPAK module. Replace the suspect module with a known good module. Verify
that the platform supports the module. See the Table B-2 on page B-4 for a list of supported
XENPAK modules.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to check the port or module error-disabled,
disabled, or shutdown status. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Make sure that all you have properly cleaned and securely connected all fiber-optic connections.
Port and Interface Settings
An obvious but sometimes overlooked cause of port connectivity failure is a disabled port. Verify that
the port or interface is not disabled or for some reason powered off. If a port or interface is manually
shut down on one or the other side of the link, the link does not come up until you re-enable the port.
Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to verify the port or interface error-disabled,
disabled, or shutdown status on both sides of the connection. If necessary, re-enable the port or the
interface.
Ping the End Device
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Verify the end device connection by first pinging it from the directly connected switch, and then work
your way back port by port, interface by interface, trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the
connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch can identify the end device MAC address in its
Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.
Spanning Tree Loops
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) loops can cause serious performance issues that might appear to be port
or interface problems. In this situation, the switch bandwidth is used repeatedly by the same frames,
crowding out legitimate traffic.
A unidirectional link can cause loops. This occurs when the traffic that the switch sends is received by
its neighbor, but the switch does not receive the traffic that is sent from the neighbor. A broken
fiber-optic cable, other cabling, or a port issue could cause this one-way communication.
You can enable the UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol on the switch to help identify
difficult-to-find unidirectional link problems. UDLD supports a normal mode of operation (the default)
and an aggressive mode. In normal mode, UDLD detects unidirectional links because of incorrectly
connected interfaces on fiber-optic connections. In aggressive mode, UDLD also detects unidirectional
links caused by one-way traffic on fiber-optic and twisted-pair links and by incorrectly connected
interfaces on fiber-optic links. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the
“Understanding UDLD” section in the software configuration guide.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Monitor Switch Performance
Review this section when you troubleshoot switch performance problems.
Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation
If the port statistics show a large number of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or
late-collisions errors, a speed or duplex mismatch might be the problem.
A common issue with speed and duplex occurs when the duplex settings are mismatched between two
switches, between a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. This can
happen when you manually set the speed and duplex or because of autonegotiation issues between the
two devices.
These circumstances can result in a mismatch:
• A manually set speed or duplex parameter is different from the manually set speed or duplex
parameter on the connected port.
• A port is set to autonegotiate, and the connected port is set to full duplex with no autonegotiation.
To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when you set or
change the settings for duplex and speed:
Diagnosing Problems
• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the ports on both ends of the connection.
• If a remote device does not autonegotiate, configure the duplex settings on the two ports to match.
The speed parameter can adjust itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.
Autonegotiation and NIC Cards
Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By
default, the switch ports and interfaces are set to autonegotiate. It is common for devices such as laptop
computers or other devices to also be set to autonegotiate, yet sometimes autonegotation issues occur.
To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try to manually set both sides of the connection. If this does
not solve the problem, the firmware or software on your NIC card might be causing the problem.
Upgrade the NIC card driver to the latest version available from the manufacturer.
Cabling Distance
If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable
distance from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines. See the “Cable and
Adapter Specifications” section on page B-5 for cabling guidelines.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration
Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration
If you have configured a new switch with an incorrect IP address, or if all of the switch LEDs start
blinking when you try to enter Express Setup mode, you can clear the IP address that is configured on
the switch.
CautionThis procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information that is stored on the switch. Do
not follow this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.
Follow these steps to return your switch to the factory default settings:
1. Press and hold the Mode button (see Figure 1-16 on page 1-14, Figure 1-16 on page 1-14, and
Figure 1-17 on page 1-14).
The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs
above the mode button turn green. You can omit this step and run Express Setup to configure the
switch.
2. Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after an additional 8 seconds, and
then the switch reboots.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using Express
Setup as described in the switch getting started guide that is included with the switch.
You can also configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in Appendix D,
“Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Replacing a Failed Stack Member
If you need to replace a failed stack member, you can hot swap or replace the switch by following this
procedure:
Step 1Get a replacement switch that has the same model number as the failed switch.
Step 2Power off the failed switch.
Step 3Make sure the replacement switch is powered off, and then connect the replacement switch to the stack.
NoteIf you had previously manually set the member numbers for any members in the stack, you need
to manually assign the replacement switch with the same member number as the failed switch.
To assign the member number manually, see the switch software configuration guide.
3-6
Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
OL-6336-10
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Step 4Make the same Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections on the replacement switch (as were on the
failed switch).
Step 5Power on the replacement switch.
NoteIf you add a replacement switch that has a later Cisco IOS release to the running stack, the replacement
switch automatically downgrades to the release that the stack is running. The replacement switch, rather
than the existing switches, reboots. The replacement switch then has the same configuration for all the
interfaces as those of the failed switch.
Finding the Switch Serial Number
If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you need to know the serial number of your switch. Use these
figures to locate the serial number on your switch. You can also use the show version command to get
