This chapter describes the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card, hereafter
referred to as the switch module. The switch deployed together with the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid
Router (CGR 2010) offers utilities a rugged networking solution to enable reliable and secure two-way
communication for substation automation.
NoteThe Cisco CGR 2010 router must be running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M or higher to run the switch

100/1000 Mb/s SFP module slotGE0/2
10/100BASE-T Ports
You can set the 10/100BASE-T ports on the switch 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 auto-negotiation. The default
setting is auto-negotiate.
When set for auto-negotiation, the switch determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached
device, and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports auto-negotiation, the
switch negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex
transmission if the attached device supports it), and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the
attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).
The 10/100BASE-T ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328
feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX 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.

PoE and PoE+ Ports
The first four 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports (FE0/1, FE0/2, FE0/3, FE0/4) on the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC
switch module are PoE+ ports.
Warning
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.
These PoE+ ports provide:
• 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 prestandard Cisco powered devices.
• Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including:
On the GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC model (Copper model), the first four 10/100BASE-T ports (FE0/1,
FE0/2, FE0/3, FE0/4) are PoE+ ports. A maximum of two PoE+ ports or four PoE ports can be
supported at one time.
For information about configuring and monitoring PoE/PoE+ ports, see the “Interface Configuration”
chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting Devices to the
Switch Module” section on page 4-4 and the “Cable and Connectors” appendix.
NoteThe output of the PoE+ circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
10/100 Mb/s SFP Module Slots
The IEEE 802.3u 100 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 Mb/s connectivity over
multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic
transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and
length.
Ports
100/1000 Mb/s SFP Module Slots
The IEEE 802.3u 1000 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over
multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic
transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and
length.
Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports or as SFP
module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them
as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports.
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose 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, but you can use the
media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP
port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information
on configuring interfaces, see the “Interface Configuration” chapter of the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
For more information on the SFP module ports see the “Supported SFPs” section on page 1-6 and the
information on the SFP modules connectors and cables in the “Cable and Connectors” appendix.
NoteThe following SFP module slot points should be noted:
- The four 100 Mb/s FE SFP module slots of the Fiber model can only support 100FX connections.
- The 100/1000 Mb/s SFP module slots support both 100FX and 1000Base-X connections.

Router Compact Flash Memory Cards
Compact flash cards can help you configure new or replacement routers, and to recover the configuration
of a failed router. For example, if the Connected Grid Swap Drive feature is enabled, you can transfer
the same system configuration information from one router to another by using a compact flash memory
card (or compact flash card) while the routers are operating. This is done by inserting an optional
compact flash card in slot CF1 and copying all contents of CF0. After the copy operation is completed,
you can remove and insert this compact flash card unit in slot CF0 of either a new router or a replacement
router for a failed unit. When the new or replacement router is rebooted, it uses the configuration from
the compact flash card as the running and startup configuration. This functionality enables you to
quickly configure new or replacement routers with a standard configuration with little or no manual
configuration required.
The router supports a maximum of two compact flash memory cards. The router ships with one compact
flash card installed in Slot CF0 and supports a second, optional flash card that you can order with the
router or supply separately.
Figure 5 illustrates the location of the compact flash card slots on the router.
This section describes how to install the switch module in Cisco CGR 2010 routers. The switch module
occupies two of four slots on the I/O side of the router. This chapter includes the following topics:
• Pre-Installation
• Installation
• Connecting to the Network
• Removing the Switch Module
Pre-Installation
Before installing the switch module, verify these guidelines are met:

The service-module gigabitEthernet 0/x/0 session command is the privileged EXEC mode command
used to console into the Ethernet switch module from the host router.
You need to console into the switch module in order to configure it. In order to console into the switch
module, you must configure an IP address on the internal backplane Gigabit Ethernet interface, that is,
GE0/0/0 or GE0/2/0, connected to the switch module. If you try to console into the switch module
without assigning an IP address, you receive the following error message:

The switch module provides two 100/1000 Mb/s or Gigabit Ethernet SFP module slots ports: one
standard Gigabit SFP module slot in the center (labeled GE0/2) and one SFP module slot for the
dual-purpose port on the bottom (labeled GE0/1).
To connect to an SFP module slot:
Step 1Grasp the SFP module on the sides, and insert it into the SFP module slot port until you feel the
connector snap into place.
CautionMake sure that SFP module is right side up before attempting to insert the SFP module into the slot.
default. The switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and
configures the interfaces. You can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for
connections to a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port on the switch module, regardless of the type of
connected device.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and connecting to SFP modules, see the SFP module
documentation.
Dual-Purpose Port with RJ-45 and SFP Connectors
The Gigabit Ethernet port GE0/1 on the switch module consists of a pair of one RJ-45 connector
(topmost port) and one SFP module connector (bottom port).
This dual-purpose port is considered as a single interface. The two connectors are not redundant
interfaces—the switch module activates only one connector of the pair at a time.
If the dual-purpose port is configured as media-type RJ-45, the speed of the connection can be manually
set to either 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s (10/100/1000BASE-T specifications). The default speed setting is
always enabled to AUTONEGOTIATION. It will automatically negotiate to whatever speed is set on the
other end of the connection.
If the dual-purpose port is configured as media-type SFP, the speed is dependent on the module type you
are using, either a 100FX or a 1000BASE-X SFP module. The port will automatically detect the module,
and the speed is set based on the media type. The other end of the connection will have to be of the same
media type in order to establish the link.
Connecting Devices to the Switch Module
NoteEven when operating at 100 Mb/s, the dual-purpose ports (and the SFP-only module slots) use the frame
size that is set with the system mtu jumbo global configuration command.
By default, the dual-purpose ports and the SFP-only module slots are network node interfaces (NNIs).
By default, the switch module dynamically selects the dual-purpose port media type that first links up.
However, you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually select the RJ-45
connector or the SFP module slot.
NoteIn auto-select mode, if both copper and fiber-optic signals are simultaneously detected, the switch
module gives preference to SFP mode.
For configuration information, see “Configuring a Dual-Purpose Port” in Chapter 8, “Configuring
Interfaces,” in the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide.
The following illustration shows an Ethernet cable connected to the RJ-45 connector of the dual-purpose
port (GE0/1). It also shows an SFP cable connected to the standard SFP module slot (GE0/2).
After you connect the switch module port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch
module establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. If the LED
turns off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a
problem with the adapter in the target device.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Dual-Purpose Ports
The 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the dual-purpose ports use RJ-45 connectors. Figure A-3 shows the
pinouts.

SFP Module Cables
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and for reliable
communications, the cable must not exceed the allowable length.

2. 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.
3. A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.
NoteWhen the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), 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.

To identify a crossover cable, hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire
connected to pin 1 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 3 on the right
end. The wire connected to pin 2 on the left end should be the same color as the wire connected to pin 6
on the right end.
