The Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) port is an RJ-45 interface that provides external synchronized clocking through a timing signal generator (TSG). The BITS input is an external timing reference that must be traceable to a stratum 3 clock or better. The BITS port on the switch can be configured to accept either a T1 or an E1 framed input. Although this clock input is T1 or E1 framed, it does not carry data and cannot be used for any other purpose than to derive clocking for the system.

207474

Alarm Input Port

The switch supports four alarm inputs. The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. Use the CLI to define each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define the alarm severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm message, and the corresponding Alarm LED responds (see the “Alarm LEDs Description” section on

page 1-9).

Front Panel

Management and Console Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or the console port. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console port connection uses a RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s, and its traffic is isolated from the other ports. See Tabl e 1-7 for descriptions of the Ethernet management port LEDs. See the “10/100/1000 Ethernet Management Port” section on page B-3 for pinout information.

For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Console Port Adapter Pinouts” section on

page B-8.

10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default. The switch ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the switch port speed and the duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a switch 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

SFP+ and SFP Modules

The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules are used for connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP+ module slot. You can use any combination of SFP+ or SFP modules. The SFP+ modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections. The SFP+ module slots support SFP+ and 1000BASE-X SFP modules. The SFP+ module slots do not support 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-T modules.

Use only Cisco SFP+ or SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information.

Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports

The switch 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 2-15.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the “Cables and Adapters” section on page B-5 for cable-pinout descriptions.)

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

medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. The switch then 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 10/100/1000 or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.

Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports

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 devices have established link. (See Figure 2-15.)

Figure 2-15 Connecting to an Ethernet Port

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 green, 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 4, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if necessary.

Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Before connecting to the SFP+ or SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in the “Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-4 and in the “SFP+ and SFP Modules”

section on page 1-4. See Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications,” for information about the

LC on the SFP+ or SFP module.

Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.

Step 2 Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP+ or SFP module port (see Figure 2-16).

Figure 2-16 Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port

Step 3 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic connector on a target device.

Step 4 Observe the port status LED.

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

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.

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 5 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Where to Go Next

You can use the default configuration or use any of the management options described in the

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.

CHAP T E R

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 blinks green, and the other LEDs remain green. When POST succeeds, the System LED becomes green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the System LED is amber.

You can use the show diagnostics post user EXEC command to display the POST results.

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

does not pass POST.

OL-22168-01

Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Diagnosing Problems

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 1-6 for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Switch Connections

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors. You can identify this situation because the port has many packet errors or the port constantly flaps (loses and regains link).

• Examine or exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable.

• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

• Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the

destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate faulty media convertors (fiber-optic-to-copper).

• Try the cable in another port or interface, if possible, to see if the problem follows the cable.

Appendix 4 Troubleshooting

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 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 connected device ports both match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.

• For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through 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.

A port 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 port LED does not turn 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.

4-2

Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-22168-01

Appendix 4 Troubleshooting

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

Specifications,” for more information.

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

and then reconnect it.

SFP+ and SFP Module Port Issues

Use only Cisco SFP+ and 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+ and SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with known good module.

Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the SFP+ and SFP modules that the switch supports.)

• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled,

disabled, or shutdown. Re-enable the port if needed.

• Make sure that all fiber 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 interface. Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off for some reason. If an interface is manually shut down on one side of the link or the other side, the link does not come up until you re-enable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown on either side of the connection. If needed, re-enable the interface.

Ping the End Device

Ping 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

STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.

Unidirectional links can cause spanning-tree loops. A unidirectional link occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by its neighbor, but does not receive traffic sent by the neighbor. A broken fiber-optic cable, other cabling, or a port issue could cause this one-way communication.

The UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol helps identify unidirectional link problems. For more information, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

Switch Performance

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

If the port statistics show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions errors, this might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.

A common issue with speed and duplex is when the duplex settings are mismatched between two switches, between a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when manually setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.

To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the duplex or speed settings.

• 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, set the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed

parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Appendix 4 Troubleshooting

Autonegotiation and NICs

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By default, the switch ports and interfaces are set to autonegotiate. Devices like laptops or other devices are commonly 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, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on your NIC. You can resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest available version.

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 “Cables and

Adapters” section on page B-5 for cabling guidelines.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

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.

4-4

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.

Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-22168-01

Appendix 4 Troubleshooting

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

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 location. You can also use the show version privileged EXEC command or the show inventory user EXEC command to get the serial number.

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

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

3. Requires a mode-conditioning patch cord. 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. Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m) require the mode-conditioning patch cord.

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 the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or

Console Port Adapter Pinouts

The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Ta ble B- 3 and Tab l e B- 4. 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 an 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 Tab l e B- 3 and Tabl e B-4.

APPENDIX

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

This appendix provides a 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 Chapter 3,

“Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and Fan Modules.”

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 C 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 Chapter 3, “Installing and Removing AC and DC Input Power Supply and

Fan Modules.”

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.

C-2

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

Cisco ME 3800X and ME 3600X Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-22168-01

Appendix C 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: secret_password

Step 4 Enter an enable password, and press Return.

Enter enable password: enable_password

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

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

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

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: 10.4.120.106 Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.0

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 enable_password line vty 0 15 password terminal-password no snmp-server ! no ip routing

! interface Vlan1 no shutdown ip address 10.4.120.106 255.0.0.0 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/1 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2

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

interface GigabitEthernet0/3 ! ...<output abbreviated> end

Step 9 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.

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.
