Front Panel Description

10/100 Ports (Only the Cisco ME-3400-24TS Switches)

You can set the 10/100 ports on the Cisco ME 3400-24TS switches to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or 10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation, in compliance with IEEE 802.3ab. The default setting is autonegotiate.

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).

User-network interfaces (UNIs) and network node interfaces (NNIs) are supported on the Cisco ME switches. UNIs are typically connected to a host, such as a PC or a Cisco IP phone. NNIs are typically connected to a router or to another switch. By default, the 10/100 ports on the Cisco ME switch are configured as UNIs.

A port can be reconfigured from UNI to NNI and the reverse. When a port is reconfigured as another interface type, it inherits all the characteristics of that interface type. All ports on the Cisco ME switch are either UNI or NNI at any time.

For information on configuring interfaces, see the software configuration guide.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Dual-Purpose Ports (Only the Cisco ME 3400G-12CS and Cisco ME 3400G-2CS Switches)

You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the Cisco ME 3400G-12CS switches and the Cisco ME 3400G-2CS switches as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP module ports.

You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate. You can also configure them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.

The switch dynamically selects the media type for each dual port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP module port has priority. You cannot configure this priority.

UNIs and NNIs are supported on the dual-purpose ports. UNIs are typically connected to a host, such as a PC or a Cisco IP phone. NNIs are typically connected to a router or to another switch. By default, the dual-purpose ports are UNIs. A port can be reconfigured from UNI to NNI and the reverse. When a port is reconfigured as another interface type, it inherits all the characteristics of that interface type. All ports on the Cisco ME switch are either UNI or NNI at any time.

You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type.

For information on configuring interfaces, see the software configuration guide.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

SFP Module Ports

The Cisco ME switch supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100 megabit Ethernet, field-replaceable SFP transceiver modules to establish fiber-optic and copper connections to other network devices. The SFP modules that use fiber-optic connections need fiber-optic cables with LC connectors. The SFP modules that use copper connections need Category 5 or higher cables with RJ-45 connectors.

The Cisco ME switch uses Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules to establish fiber-optic and 1000BASE-T connections. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the interfaces when inserted in an SFP module slot. You can use the SFP modules for Gigabit connections to other switches.

The 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports and the dual-purpose ports on Cisco ME 3400-12CS and Cisco ME 3400-2CS switches are configured as UNIs. The SFP module uplink ports are configured as NNIs. If the switch is running the metro base or metro access image, you can configure only four ports on the switch as NNIs at one time, but you can configure all ports on the switch as UNIs. Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEG, if the switch is running the metro IP access image, you can configure an unlimited number of NNIs.

Note The Cisco ME-3400-24FS switch downlink ports support only the 100BASE-BX, 100BASE-FX, and

100BASE-LX SFP modules.

When installed in Cisco ME switches, 1000BASE-T SFP modules can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex mode or at 10 or 100 Mb/s in half-duplex mode. For more information about these SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation.

OL-7677-04

You can use any combination of SFP modules that your switch supports. The only restrictions are that each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable and that the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications listed in the “SFP Module Cable

Specifications” section on page A-4.

Verifying Switch Operation

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

• To power on the AC 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.

Verifying Switch Operation

• To power on a DC switch, see Appendix C, “Connecting to DC Power.”

When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the POST, a series of tests that verifies that the switch functions properly. 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.

POST 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 2-5.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. The modules are inserted into the SFP module slots on the front of the Cisco ME switches. These field-replaceable modules provide interfaces.

See the “SFP Modules” section on page 1-7 for the list of SFP modules that the switch supports. Each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable. For reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length. See the “Installation Guidelines”

section on page 2-4 for cable stipulations for SFP module connections.

Use only Cisco SFP modules on the Cisco ME 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 the SFP module documentation.

Installing SFP Modules

Figure 2-12 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.

Caution We 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.

To insert an SFP module into the module slot, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Some SFP modules identify the top side of the module with send (TX) and receive (RX) markings or arrows that show the direction of the connection.

Step 2 If the SFP module that you are using has the markings, use them to identify the top side of the module.

Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening.

Step 4 Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear

of the slot (see Figure 2-13).

Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the

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

Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

• For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

• For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.

Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or

higher cable.

Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Removing SFP Modules

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.

Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).

Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 2-14.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

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.

Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000-BASE-T devices:

Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45

connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-17.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page A-4 for cable-pinout descriptions.)

Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Note 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.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on

when both the switch and the connected device have established link. (See Figure 2-17.)

The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on, the device at the other end might not be turned on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling problems.

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

Step 4 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Connecting to Dual-Purpose Ports

You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the Cisco ME 3400G-12CS and Cisco ME 3400-2CS switches as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP module slots. Figure 2-20 shows the Cisco ME 3400G-12CS switch dual-purpose ports. This section also applies to the Cisco ME 3400-2CS switches.

To connect to a dual-purpose port, follow these steps:

Connecting to Dual-Purpose Ports

Step 1 Connect an RJ-45 connector or an SFP module to the port, as shown in Figure 2-20.

For more information about RJ-45 connectors and SFP modules, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and

10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-20 and the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-21.

Figure 2-20 Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

Step 2

Connect the other end of the cable to the other device. The switch automatically detects the connection

157529

and configures the port.

By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose port and configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize only an RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media type interface configuration command. For more information, see the command reference.

• How to Clear the Switch IP Address and Configuration, page 3-4

• Locating the Switch Serial Number, page 3-5

Diagnosing Problems

The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show power-on self-test (POST) failures, port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the CLI or from an SNMP workstation. See the software configuration guide and the switch command reference on Cisco.com or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information.

This section includes these troubleshooting topics:

• “Check Switch POST Results” section on page 3-1

• “Check Switch LEDs” section on page 3-2

• “Check Switch Connections” section on page 3-2

• “Check Switch Performance” section on page 3-4

Check 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.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does

not pass POST.

OL-7677-04

Diagnosing Problems

Check 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 1-8 for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Check Switch Connections

Review this section when troubleshooting switch connectivity problems.

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always check the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be sufficient to 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 will constantly lose and regain link. In these situations:

• Check or change the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

• 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.

• 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 A, “Connector

and Cable Specifications.”

• 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.

Link Status

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.

3-2

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.

Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-7677-04

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

• Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See Appendix A, “Connector and Cable

Specifications,” for more information.

• Check for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated, but is not. Disconnect and

then reconnect the cable.

SFP Module Port Issues

Use only Cisco small form-factor pluggable (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 wrong SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known, good module. Verify that

this module supports this platform. See the “SFP Modules” section on page 1-7 for a list of supported SFP 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 fiber-optic connections are properly cleaned and securely connected.

Diagnosing Problems

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 down. 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 check 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

Check the end device by pinging it from the directly connected switch first, 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.

How to Clear the Switch IP Address and Configuration

Check 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 ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when you set or change the settings for duplex and speed:

• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

• 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 manually setting 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 A-4 for cabling guidelines.

How to Clear the Switch IP Address and Configuration

3-4

This section describes how to reset the switch by rerunning the initial configuration dialog (system configuration dialog). These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch:

• You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong

IP address.

• You want to clear all the configuration settings from the switch and assign a new IP address.

Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-7677-04

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

Caution This procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information stored on the switch. Do not

follow this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.

To reset the switch:

1. At the switch prompt, enter enable, and press Return or Enter.

2. At the Privileged EXEC prompt, switch#, enter setup and press Return or Enter.

The switch displays the prompt to run the initial configuration dialog. The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in

Appendix D, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Locating 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 the serial number.

Figure A-4 shows the two twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics. Figure A-6 shows the four twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics.

When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you can use a two or four twisted-pair crossover cable. Figure A-5 shows the two twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.

Figure A-7 shows the four twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.

Note You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic

A-2

You can use Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling when connecting to 10BASE-T-compatible devices. You must use Category 5 (or higher) cabling when connecting to 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.

Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports only when one port is designated with an X. Use a

crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X or when both ports do not have an X.

This applies only to switches on which auto-MDIX is disabled.

Console Port

OL-7677-04

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table A-2 and Ta b l e A- 3. If you did not order a console cable with your switch, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable 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 ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table A-2 and Ta ble A-3.

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

2. A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers

3. A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, and a short 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 cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).

4. 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.

Note When using shorter distances of single-mode fiber-optic 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 15.43 miles (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.

Crossover Cable and Adapter Pinouts

This section describes how to identify a crossover cable and also describes the adapter pinouts.

Identifying a Crossover Cable

To identify a crossover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug. (See Figure A-8.)

Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

Complete these steps:

Step 1 Remove all paint or oxidation from the rack at the point of the grounding connection.

Step 2 Use a 3/16-inch flat-head screwdriver to loosen the grounding screw on the rack.

Step 3 Connect the wire to a ring lug (large enough for the rack screw to fit through).

Step 4 Use a 3/16-inch flat-head screwdriver and the screw to attach the ring lug to the rack.

Step 5 Tighten the grounding screw on the rack over the ring lug.

Repeat these steps for each switch being installed.

Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

Before you wire the DC-input power source, review the warnings in this section and this information:

If the switch software detects that the circuit boards are not receiving power from an internal power supply, the software sends a message like this to the console:

00:06:54: %POWER_SUPPLIES-3-PWR_FAIL: Power supply 2 is not functioning 00:06:54: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-DUAL_PWR: Faulty internal power supply 2 detected

Appendix C Connecting to DC Power

This message means that an internal power supply is not providing power. To receive this alert if power fails on the ME 3400G-12CS-DC switch with two power feeds, we recommend that you connect one feed to the left DC power terminal block and the other to the right DC power terminal block. (See the example in Figure C-6.)

If you want to receive an alert if an external power supply fails, do not connect feeds to one terminal block and from there connect feeds to the second terminal block. (See the example in Figure C-7.) This configuration provides redundant power, and the switch continues to operate if one of the external power supplies fails. However, the software does not send a message to you that an internal power supply has failed.

Statement 1030

Caution You must connect the Cisco ME DC switch only to a DC-input power source with –36 to –72 VDC

supply voltage. If the supply voltage is not in this range, the switch might not operate properly or might be damaged.

Caution The Cisco ME 3400G-12CS-DC switch has two DC power supplies. They are labelled PS1 and PS2, and

each power supply has an A and B input. When you connect power to both PS 1 and PS 2, connect only a single input (A or B) to each power supply.

To wire the switch to a DC-input power source, follow these steps:

Step 1 To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit,

switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Step 2 Locate the terminal block plug (see Figure C-8).

APPENDIX

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch. Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch

Installation” and Appendix C, “Connecting to DC Power.”

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to the serial port on your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a Telnet session.

Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software

Before you power on the switch, start the terminal emulation session so that you can see the output display from the power-on self-test (POST).

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Follow these steps to start a terminal-emulation session:

Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default

characteristics:

• 9600 baud or 115200 baud (suggested rate)

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• None (flow control)

Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

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.”

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch is powered up. You must assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet.

IP Settings

You will need this information from your network administrator before you complete the setup program:

• Switch IP address

• Subnet mask (IP netmask)

• Default gateway (router)

• Enable secret password

• Enable password

• Telnet password

Completing the Setup Program

Follow these steps to complete the setup program and to create an initial configuration for the switch:

Step 1 Enter Ye s at these two prompts.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system.

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

Step 2 Enter a host name for the switch, and press Return.

On a command switch, the host name is limited to 28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters. Do not use -n, where n is a number, as the last character in a host name for any switch.

Enter host name [Switch]:

host_name

Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

Step 3 Enter an enable secret password, and press Return.

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces. The secret password is encrypted and the enable password is in plain text.

Enter enable secret:

Step 4 Enter an enable password, and press Return.

Enter enable password:

Step 5 Enter a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return.

secret_password

enable_password

The password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores leading spaces.

Enter virtual terminal password:

Step 6 (Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts.

You can also configure SNMP later through the CLI. To configure SNMP later, enter no.

Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no

Step 7 Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the

management network, and press Return. For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface.

Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: vlan1

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

terminal-password

Step 8 Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return. The IP

address and subnet masks shown below are examples.

Configuring interface vlan1: Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes IP address for this interface: Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]:

10.4.120.106

255.0.0.0

Step 9 Enter Y to configure the switch as the cluster command switch. Enter N to configure it as a member

switch or as a standalone switch.

If you enter N, you can configure the switch as a command switch later through the CLI. To configure it later, enter no.

Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? [yes/no]: no

You have now completed the initial configuration of the switch, and the switch displays its initial configuration. This is an example of output that appears:

The following configuration command script was created: hostname switch1 enable secret 5 $1$Ulq8$DlA/OiaEbl90WcBPd9cOn1 enable password line vty 0 15 password no snmp-server ! no ip routing

! interface Vlan1 no shutdown ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0 ! interface FastEthernet1/0/1

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

! interface FastEthernet1/0/2

interface FastEthernet1/0/3 ! ...<output abbreviated> end

Step 10 These choices appear:

[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 NVRAM by selecting option 2.

Enter your selection [2]:2

Make your selection, and press Return.

Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

After you complete the setup program, the switch can run the default configuration that you created. If you want to change this configuration or want to perform other management tasks, use the CLI.

To use the CLI, enter commands at the Switch> prompt through the console port by using a terminal program or through the network by using Telnet. For configuration information, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

If you are using a Cisco ME 3400-12CS switch with a single power supply, enter the no power-supply dual global configuration command so that the switch does not send an alarm that the second power supply is not operating.
