THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following inform ation 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.

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.
Front Panel Description
SFP Modules
For more information on configuring interfaces, see the software configuration guide. For more
information about cabling specifications for SFP modules, see the “SFP Module Cable Specifications”
section on page A-4.
The Cisco ME switch supports these Cisco SFP modules:
• 100BASE-BX
• 100BASE-FX
• 100BASE-LX
• 1000BASE-BX
• 1000BASE-LX/LH
• 1000BASE-SX
• 1000BASE-T
• 1000BASE-ZX
• CWDM
• DWDM
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.

Front Panel Description
Use only Cisco SFP modules on your switch. Each SFP module has an internal serial electrically
erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) that is encoded with security information. This
encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify the module and to ensure that it meets the performance,
quality, and interoperability requirements for the device.
For information about Cisco SFP modules, see the documentation at this URL:
