Product Overview

10/100/1000 Ports

The Catalyst 9300 switches might have slight cosmetic differences on the bezels.Note

Figure 1: C9300-48P Switch Front Panel

10/100/1000 Ports

The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted pair (UTP) cable of Category 5 or higher. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 cable or higher.

PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPoE Ports

The PoE+ and Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPoE) ports use the same connectors as described in 10/100/1000 Port Connections, on page 37. They provide:

PoE+ ports: Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4 W PoE per port) and

•

support for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30 W PoE+ per port).

Support for pre-standard Cisco powered devices.

Management Ports

Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including enhanced power negotiation,

•

power reservation, and per-port power policing.

See the Power Supply Modules, on page 14 for the power supply matrix that defines the available PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPOE power per port. The output of the PoE+ or UPOE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.

Management Ports

The management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.

Ethernet management port. See Ethernet Management Port, on page 17.

•

RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). See RJ-45 Console Port, on page 18.

•

USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).

•

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.

If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not require special drivers.

The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

Product Overview

This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.

Figure 2: USB Mini-Type B Port

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.

The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45 console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time.

After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Product Overview

USB Type A Port

The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB keys).

The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you can upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.

It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive's configuration and image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for a bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USB drive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, these are copied to flash for the reboot.

USB Type A Port

Network Modules

The switch supports one hot-swappable network module that provides uplink ports to connect to other devices. The switch should only be operated with either a network module or a blank module installed.

The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP ports.

The following table lists the optional Cisco Catalyst 9300 uplink network modules with 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit slots. In addition, Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches also support 3850 uplink network modules. For the complete list of supported network modules, see Network Modules Overview, on page 39.

DescriptionNetwork Module

This module has four 1G SFP module slots. Any combination of standard SFP modules are supported. SFP+ modules are not supported.

If you insert an SFP+ module in the 1G network module, the SFP+ module does not operate, and the switch logs an error message.

This module has eight 10G slots with an SFP+ port in each slot. Each port supports a 1G or 10G connection.

This module has two 40G slots with a QSFP+ connector in each slot.C9300-NM-2Q

Insert this blank module when the switch has no uplink ports (this is required for sufficient air flow).

All network modules are hot-swappable.

For information about the network modules, see the Installing a Network Module in the Switch, on page 40. For cable specifications, see Cables and Adapters, on page 81.

Port LEDs and Modes

Each Ethernet port, 1-Gigabit Ethernet module slot, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slot has a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information about the switch and about the individual ports. The port mode determines the type of information shown by the port LEDs.

To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. When you change port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change.

When you press the Mode button on any switch in the switch stack, all the stack switches change to show the same selected mode. For example, if you press the Mode button on the active switch to show the SPEED LED, all the other switches in the stack also show the SPEED LED.

Following are the supported power supply modules:

PWR-C1-350WAC

•

PWR-C1-715WAC

•

PWR-C1-1100WAC

•

The switch has two internal power supply module slots. You can use two AC modules or one power supply module and a blank module.

The switch can operate with either one or two active power supply modules or with power supplied by a stack. A switch that is in a StackPower stack can operate with power supplied by other switches in the stack.

Switch Models, on page 1 shows the default power supply modules that ship with each switch model. All

power supply modules (except the blank modules) have internal fans. All switches ship with a blank power supply module in the second power supply slot.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Product Overview

Power Supply Modules

Caution

Do not operate the switch with one power supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both power supply module slots must be populated with either a power supply or a blank module.

The 350-W and 715-W AC power supply modules are autoranging units that support input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. The 1100-W power supply module is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 115 and 240 VAC. The output voltage range is 51 to 57 V.

Each AC power supply module has a power cord for connection to an AC power outlet. The 1100-W and 715-W modules use a 16-AWG cord (only North America). All other modules use an 18-AWG cord.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, power on the switch and verify that it passes POST.

To power on the switch, plug one end of the AC power cord into the switch AC power connector, and plug the other end into an AC power outlet.

As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. The SYST LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.

When the switch completes POST successfully, the SYST LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber.

POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.

After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch and install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf.

If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to different AC power sources. See the Cisco RPS documentation for information.

Note

When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to active mode during normal operation.

Planning a Switch Data Stack

Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches can share bandwidth by using data stacking.

Switch Stacking and Power Stacking Guidelines

Before connecting the switches in a stack, keep in mind these stacking guidelines:

Size of the switch and any optional power-supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is longer

•

than the other modules. Stacking switches with the same power-supply modules together makes it easier to cable the switches.

Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.

•

If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you need the 1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, see StackWise Ports, on page 14. The Data Stack Cabling Configurations, on page 24 provides examples of recommended configurations.

For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a StackPower stack as well as a data stack, see

•

Planning a StackPower Stack, on page 27.

You can create data stacks with up to eight switches in a stack.

•

Data Stack Cabling Configurations

This is an example of a recommended configuration that uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. In this example, the switches are stacked in a vertical rack or on a table. This configuration provides redundant connections. The configuration example uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. The example shows the full-ring configuration that provides redundant connections.

Figure 8: Data Stacking the Switches in a Rack or on a Table Using the 0.5-meter StackWise Cables

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Installation

This example shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the 1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides redundant connections.

Figure 9: Data Stacking in a Side-by-Side Mounting

Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples

This section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning. The figure shows a data stack of switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant StackWise cable connections.

Figure 10: Example of a Data Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections

Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples

This figure shows an example of a stack of switches with incomplete StackWise cabling connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.

Figure 11: Example of a Data Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections

The figures below show data stacks of switches with failover conditions. In this figure, the StackWise cable is bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.

Figure 12: Example of a Data Stack with a Failover Condition

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks

In this figure, link 2 is bad. Therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and the top and bottom switches become the active switch in the stack. If the bottom switch is a member (not active or standby switch), it reloads.

Figure 13: Example of a Partitioned Data Stack with a Failover Condition

Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks

Switch Installation

Consider these guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:

The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the stack

•

master.

There are two ways to elect an active switch:

•

If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, configure it with the highest priority.

•

Among switches with same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address becomes the active switch.

If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, power on that switch first. This switch

•

remains the active switch until a reelection is required. After 2 minutes, power on the other switches in the stack. If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the active switch, power on all the switches in the stack within 1 minute. These switches participate in the active switch election. Switches powered on after 2 minutes do not participate in the election.

If changes are made to the stack without powering down the switches, the following results can occur:

If two operating partial ring stacks are connected together using a stack cable, a stack merge can take

•

place. This situation reloads the whole stack (all switches in the stack).

If some switches in the stack are completely separated from the stack, a stack split can occur.

•

A stack split can occur on a full ring stack if:

•

More than one running switch is removed without powering down.

◦

More than one stack cable is removed without powering down.

◦

A stack split can occur in a partial ring stack if:

•

A switch is removed without powering down.

◦

A stack cable is removed without powering down.

◦

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Installation

Planning a StackPower Stack

In a split stack, depending on where the active and standby switches are located, either two stacks might

•

be formed (with the standby taking over as the new active switch in the newly formed stack) or all the members in the newly formed stack might reload.

Note

These results depend on how the switches are connected. You can remove two or more switches from the stack without splitting the stack.

For conditions that can cause a stack reelection or to manually elect the active switch, see the stacking software configuration guide on Cisco.com at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/go/c9300.

Planning a StackPower Stack

StackPower Stacking Guidelines

You can configure a StackPower stack for either power sharing or redundancy. In power-sharing mode, the power of all the power supplies in the stack is aggregated and distributed among the stack members.

In redundant mode, when the total power budget of the stack is calculated, the wattage of the largest power supply is not included. That power is held in reserve and used to maintain power to switches and attached devices when one power supply fails. Following the failure of a power supply, the StackPower mode becomes power sharing.

Power-sharing mode is the recommended configuration for Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches.Note

For general concepts and management procedures for switch power stacks, see the Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.

Before connecting the switches in a power stack, keep in mind these guidelines:

A switch power stack can include a maximum of four switches in a ring topology and eight switches in

•

a star topology.

Size of the switch and any optional power supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is 1.5

•

inches (3.81 cm) longer than the other modules, and with the attached cable retention clip, it extends 3 inches (7.62 cm) from the switch chassis. Stacking switches with the same power-supply modules together makes it easier to cable the switches. For switch dimensions, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”

Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.

•

If you do not specify the length of the StackPower cable, the 0.3 meter cable is supplied. If you need the 1.5 meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, see StackPower

Connector, on page 17. The StackPower Cabling Configurations, on page 28 provides examples of

recommended configurations.

For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a data stack and a StackPower stack, see Switch

•

StackPower Cabling Configurations

This section describes the recommended cabling configurations for a StackPower stack. There are two types of StackPower cables.

The cable in the figure connects a switch to another switch in a power stack or with an XPS. StackPower cables have color bands on the cable ends:

The cable end with the green band can connect only to a switch.

•

The cable end with the yellow band can connect to a switch or an XPS.

•

The cable is available in two lengths.

10/100/1000 Port Connections

The switch 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the 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.

•

Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports

Set the interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

•

Auto-MDIX Connections

The autonegotiation and the auto-MDIX features are enabled by default on the switch.

With autonegotiation, the switch port configurations change to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the switch interface speed and duplex parameters.

With auto-MDIX, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly.

If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in this table to select the correct cable.

Warning

Caution

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. Statement 1072

Voice over IP (VoIP) service and the emergency calling service do not function if power fails or is disrupted. After power is restored, you might have to reset or reconfigure equipment to regain access to VoIP and the emergency calling service. In the USA, this emergency number is 911. You need to be aware of the emergency number in your country. Statement 371

Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.

Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only standard-compliant cabling to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones and wireless access points, IEEE 802.3af, or 802.3at (PoE+)-compliant devices. You must remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.

Installing Network Modules

Note

The switch can operate without a network module, but a blank module (with no ports or SFP slots) is available and should be installed when uplink ports are not required.

The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP slots.Note

Use only supported network modules and SFP or QSFP modules. Each module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information.

The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module or a blank module.

The switch complies with EMC, safety, and thermal specifications when a network module is present. If no uplink ports are required, install a blank network module.

Before You Begin

When installing network modules, observe these precautions:

Do not remove the blank module from the slot unless you are installing an SFP or QSFP module. Either

•

a module or a dust plug must be in the slot at all times.

Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP and QSFP modules or the rubber caps from the

•

fiber-optic cable until you connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert a network

•

module more often than is necessary.

To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting

•

cables to the switch and other devices.

Procedure

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.

Remove the module from the protective packaging.

Remove the blank module from the switch and save it.

Caution

Verify the correct orientation of your module before installing it. Incorrect installation can damage the module.

Caution

Do not install the network module with connected cables or installed SFP modules. Always remove any cables and modules before you install the network module.

Installing a Network Module

Step 4

Caution

A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.

Position the module face up to install it in the module slot. Slide the module into the slot until the back of the module faceplate is flush with the switch faceplate. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module in place.

Figure 23: Installing the Network Module in the Switch

Note

Unlike other network modules, the C3850-NM-8-10G cannot be fully inserted and secured until the jackscrew is properly tightened.

Push the module into the uplink slot until the jackscrew connects with the rightmost tab.

You will feel some light resistance, because a spring-loaded tab inside the slot will push back

against the C3850-NM-8-10G module

Continue to tighten the jackscrew while gently pushing the front panel of the network module

into the slot.

Setting up the Switch

After you complete the hardware installation, you need to setup the switch with configuration required to enable traffic to pass through the network. On your first day with your new device, you can perform a number of tasks to ensure that your device is online, reachable and easily configured.

Creating User Accounts

Setting a username and password is the first task you will perform on your device. Typically, as a network administrator, you will want to control access to your device and prevent unauthorized users from seeing your network configuration or manipulating your settings.

Procedure

Step 1 Step 2

Log on using the default username and password provided with the device.

Set a password of up to 25 alphanumeric characters. The username password combination you set gives you privilege 15 access. The string cannot start with a number, is case sensitive, and allows spaces but ignores leading spaces.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Choosing Setup Options

Select Wired Network to configure your device based on a site profile, and continue to configure switch wide settings. Otherwise, continue to the next step and configure only basic settings for your device.

Configuring the Switch

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

In the Device ID and Location Settings section, type a unique name to identify your device in the network.

Choose the date and time settings for your device. To synchronize your device with a valid outside timing mechanism, such as an NTP clock source, choose Automatic, or choose Manual to set it yourself.

In the Device Management Settings section, assign an IP address to the management interface. Ensure that the IP address you assign is part of the subnet mask you enter.

Enter an IP address to specify the default gateway. If you did not select Wired Network, in the previous step, continue to the next screen to verify your configuration on the Day 0 Config Summary screen, and click Finish. To automatically configure your device based on a site profile, click Setup Options, and select Wired Network.

Configuring Your Device Based on a Site Profile

To ease your configuration tasks and save time, choose a site profile based on where your device may be installed and managed in your network. Based on the site profile you choose, your device is automatically configured according to Cisco best practices. You can easily modify this default configuration, from the corresponding detailed configuration screens.

Choosing a site profile as part of Quick Setup allows you to configure your device based on the business needs of your enterprise. For example, you could use your device as an access switch, to connect client nodes and endpoints on your network, or as a distribution switch, to route packets between subnets and VLANs.
