Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Series Smart Gigabit
Switch. The Smart Switches offer the following interfaces:

• The SLM2024 and SLM2048 offer twenty four (24) or forty eight (48)
gigabit copper ports, with two (2) shared copper or optical (SFP) uplink
interfaces for connecting the switch to the core network.

• The SLM224G, SLM224P, SLM248G, and SLM248P offer twenty four
(24) or forty eight (48) 10/100 copper ports, with two (2) shared gigabit
copper or optical (SFP) uplink interfaces for connecting the switch to
the core network.

This guide describes how to physically install your Smart Switch, connect
network devices, and launch the Web-based configuration utility.

Getting to Know the Switch

SLM2024 and SLM2048

The following section describes the SLM2024 and SLM2048 switches.
The front panel of the SLM2048 is shown.

Front Panel

Gigabit — (1-24 or 1-48) (Amber) Lights up to indicate a functional 1000

Mbps connection on the corresponding port (1 through 24 or 48) to an
attached device.

To establish a gigabit Ethernet connection by using a miniGBIC port, you
must install a MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 gigabit expansion module and
use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic cabling.

Cisco Small Business SLM Series Smart Switch Installation Guide 1

To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC port, you will
need to install a MFEFX1 (100BASE-FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP
transceiver and use fiber optic cabling.

NOTE On the SLM2024 and SLM2048, miniGBIC ports are shared with

standard ports. If a miniGBIC port is used, then the shared
standard port on the switch cannot be used. The following table
defines the shared port mapping of the SLM2024 and SLM2048
switch.

Switch Model miniGBIC Port Standard Port

SLM2024 miniGBIC 1 Port 12

SLM2024 miniGBIC 2 Port 24

SLM2048 miniGBIC 1 Port 24

SLM2048 miniGBIC 2 Port 48

SLM248G, SLM248P, SLM224G, and SLM224P

The following section describes the SLM248G, SLM248P, SLM224G, and
SLM224P switches. The front panel of the SLM248P is shown.

Front Panel

PoE — (Amber) Blinks to indicate that power is being supplied to a device
attached to the corresponding port. PoE is available on:

• SLM224P ports 1-6, and 13-18

• SLM248P ports 1-12, and 25-36

100M (1-24 or 1-48) — (Amber) Appears on the “G” models of the switch

on each port, and lights up to indicate a functional 100 Mbps connection on
the corresponding port with an attached device. Appears on the “P”
models of the switch only on the non-PoE ports:

• SLM224P ports 7-12, and 19-24

• SLM248P ports 13-24, and 37-48

Gigabit — (G1-G2) (Amber) Lights up to indicate a functional 1000 Mbps

connection on the corresponding port (G1-G2) with an attached device.

G1- G2 — The switch is equipped with two autosensing gigabit Ethernet
network ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The gigabit Ethernet ports
support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can
operate in half- and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables
each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it
(10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex
accordingly.

To establish a gigabit Ethernet connection using a miniGBIC port, you must
install a MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 gigabit expansion module and use
Category 5e cabling or fiber optic cabling. To establish a Fast Ethernet
connection using a miniGBIC port, you must install a MFEFX1 (100BASE­FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP transceiver and use fiber optic
cabling.

NOTE On the SLM248G, SLM248P, SLM224G, and SLM224P switches,

miniGBIC ports are shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC
port is used, the shared standard port on the switch cannot be
used. The following table defines the shared port mapping of the
switch.

Switch Model miniGBIC Port Standard Port

SLM248G/P miniGBIC 1 Port G1

SLM248G/P miniGBIC 2 Port G2

SLM224G/P miniGBIC 1 Port G1

SLM224G/P miniGBIC 2 Port G2

LEDs and Ports Common to all Switch Models

System — (Green) Lights up to indicate that the switch is powered on.

Blinks while the switch is performing a system self-test.

LNK/ACT — (Green) Lights up to indicate a functional network link through
the corresponding port to an attached device. Blinks to indicate that the
switch is actively sending or receiving data through that port.

Reset — Press and hold the Reset Button for less than ten seconds to
reboot the switch. Press and hold the Reset Button for more than ten
seconds to reset the switch’s settings to the factory defaults.

Ethernet (1-24 or 1-48) The switch is equipped with 24 or 48 auto-
sensing, Ethernet ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet
ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. They can operate
