Typical Installation Scenario

Cisco Small Business
Model SD208
8-Port 10/100 Switch

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 8-Port 10/100 Switch. The Switch provides
non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10 and 100 Mbps network clients.
It's the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
devices, to o. All ports are auto spe ed ne gotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI­X crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable type. Each
port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for
up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching
prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

Front Panel

The LEDs are located on the front panel of the Switch.

System—(Green) This LED lights up and remains lit when the Switch is
powered on.

1-8—(Green) Each LED lights up when a connection is made through its
corresponding port. It flashes when the corresponding port is active.

The security slot is located on the opposite side of the Switch.

The security slot is where you can attach a lock to protect the Switch from theft.

To use the wall-mount option, follow these instructions:

STEP 1 The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch’s

bottom panel. Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch’s
