Introduction

The Cisco SLM2008 8-port Gigabit Smart Switch with PD and AC Power allows you to upgrade your existing network by replacing your current workgroup hub or switch. At the same time, you can configure advanced features for security, QoS, and Spanning Tree using its web-based configuration utility.
The Cisco SLM2008 switch not only allows you to upgrade to gigabit speeds but also allows you to expand your network securely. The Gigabit Smart Switch with PD have virtual LAN (VLAN) capabilities to restrict the flow of multicast and broadcast traffic. Stations within a given VLAN can freely communicate using either unicast or multicast addressing. Communication between different VLANs is not possible.

Extensive QoS features make the solution ideal for real-time applications like Voice and Video. The 4 priority queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual users or applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p), and layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent broadcast and multicast storm controls minimize and contain the effects of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding all users. Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.
There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning Tree (STP) allow you to build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the system.

Getting to Know the Cisco SLM2008 Switch

This chapter describes the external features of the Cisco SLM2008 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with PD and AC Power. The following sections are included:
• Front Panel, page 2
• Back Panel, page 3
• Side Panels, page 3

Front Panel

The LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
System—(Green) Lights up when the switch is powered on.
1-8—(Green) Each LED lights up when there is a connection made through its corresponding port. The LEDs flash when there is activity on corresponding ports.

Getting to Know the Cisco SLM2008 Switch

Back Panel

Back Panel
The Ethernet ports are located on the back panel of the switch.
Port 1—This port supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD standard, which enables a system to receive data and supply electrical power to the switch over a standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. Any 802.3af­compliant PSE device, such as a PoE switch, can directly supply power to the switch. Simply connect a standard twisted-pair cable from a PoE switch to Port 1 on the switch. Using PoE to power the switch eliminates the need to use the power adapter and AC power.
2

Side Panels

To connect a device to a port, use a Category 5 network cable.
Ports 1-8—These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto­sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
The reset button and power port are located on the right side panel of the switch.

Getting to Know the Cisco SLM2008 Switch
Side Panels
Reset Button—The reset button can be used to reset or reboot the switch.
• Reboot—If the button is pressed for less than 10 seconds, the switch will
reboot.
• Restore Factory Defaults—If the button is pressed for longer than 10
seconds, the switch settings will be restored to the factory defaults and the system reboots.
NOTE The switch can only be configured using the web-based utility. If you cannot
access the web-based utility because of configuration changes you’ve made, you can reset the switch to the factory defaults.
Power Port—The power port is where you will connect the AC power. The security slot is located on the left side panel of the switch.

When you choose a location for the switch, observe the following guidelines:
• Make sure that the switch is accessible and that the cables can be easily
• Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and
• Position the switch away from water and moisture sources.
• To ensure adequate air flow around the switch, be sure to provide a

To mount the Cisco SLM2008 switch on a wall, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Determine where you want to mount the switch. Ensure that the wall you use is
smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Make sure the location is within reach of the power outlet.
STEP 2 Drill two holes in the wall. Make sure the holes are 2 1/2 inches apart.
(Optional) Print this page at 100% size, cut along the dotted line and place on the wall to drill precise spacing.
