THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following inform ation is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Product Overview

The Catalyst 2960 switch—also referred to as the switch—is an Ethernet switch to which you can connect devices such as workstations, Cisco Wireless Access Points, Cisco IP Phones, and other network devices including servers, routers, and other switches. This chapter provides a functional overview of the Catalyst 2960 switch. These topics are included:

•

Features, page 1-1

•

Front Panel Description, page 1-4

•

Rear Panel Description, page 1-19

•

Management Options, page 1-22

You can deploy the 24- and 48-port Catalyst 2960 switches as backbone switches, aggregating 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet traffic from other network devices. The Catalyst 2960 8-port compact switches provide the same Ethernet connectivity, but you can deploy these switches outside of the traditional wiring closet environment, such as in office workspaces and classrooms. See the switch software configuration guide for deployment examples.

Table 1-1 describes the switch model features.

OL-7075-09

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/ OL_6981.html

The 1000BASE-T SFP modules operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex mode or at 10 or 100 Mb/s in half-duplex mode when installed in Catalyst 2960 switches. The 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports autonegotiate speed and support full-duplex or half-duplex mode.

You can set the 10/100 ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is autonegotiate. When the port is set to autonegotiate, it senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, 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).

100BASE-TX traffic requires a Category 5 or higher cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cables.

When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through cable. When you connect the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the command-line interface (CLI) to enable the auto-MDIX feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch 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. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

10/100/1000 Ports

You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. (The default setting is autonegotiate.) When you set the port for autonegotiation, it senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities.

When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through cable. When you connect the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. When using a straight-through or crossover cable for 1000BASE-T connections, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable for proper operation. Pinouts for the cables are described in

Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch 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.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

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.

802.3af. The Cisco prestandard PoE is also supported for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.

•

Each of the PoE ports on the Catalyst 2960 switches deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE.

The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24PC-L, 2960-24PC-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-L, 2960-48PST-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-S, 2960-48PST-S, 2960-Plus 24PC-S, and 2960-24PC-S switches deliver a maximum power output of approximately 370-W PoE power.

The Catalyst 2960-24LT-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-S, and 2960-24LC-S switches deliver a maximum power output of approximately 124-W PoE power.

•

On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a Catalyst 2960 PoE port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected. The device manager, Network Assistant, and the CLI provide PoE settings for each 10/100 PoE port:

–

Auto: When you select the Auto setting, the port provides power only if a valid powered device, such as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered device, a Cisco prestandard IP phone, or a Cisco prestandard Cisco access point, is connected. The Auto setting is the default.

–

Never: When you select the Never setting, the port does not provide power even if a Cisco IP phone or an access point is connected.

For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration guide. For information about Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points, see the documentation that came with your IP phone or access point.

Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.

SFP Module Slots

The Catalyst 2960 switches (other than those listed) use Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections and 100-Megabit SFP modules for 100-Megabit connections to establish fiber-optic connections. These Catalyst 2960 switches do not have an SFP module slot:

•

Front Panel Description

You also can connect a Cisco IP Phone or Cisco Aironet Access Point to a Catalyst 2960 PoE switch 10/100 port and to an AC power source for redundant power. The powered device might switch to the AC power source as its primary power source upon being connected to it. In that case, the PoE port becomes the backup power source for the powered device.

If the primary source fails, the second power source becomes the primary power source to the powered device. During the power transfer, an IP phone might reboot or reestablish link with the switch.

The transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when you insert an SFP module. You can use the SFP modules for Gigabit uplink connections to other switches. You use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors to connect to a fiber-optic SFP module. You use Category 5 or higher cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect to a copper SFP module.

For more information about these SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation or the release notes for your switch software. For more information about cabling requirements, see Appendix B,

“Connector and Cable Specifications.”

Dual-Purpose Port

You can configure a dual-purpose port as either a 10/100/1000 port or as an SFP module port. Each port is considered as a single interface with dual front ends—an RJ-45 connector and an SFP module connector. The dual front ends are not redundant interfaces. The switch activates only one connector of the pair at a time.

By default, the switch dynamically selects the interface 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 connector. For information about configuring speed and duplex settings for a dual-purpose uplink, see the software configuration guide.

Each uplink port has two LEDs: one shows the status of the RJ-45 port, and one shows the status of the SFP module port. The port LED is on the active connector.

If the powered device is receiving power from an AC power source, the PoE port LED is off even if the powered device is connected to the switch port.

Green PoE is on. The port LED is green only when the switch port is providing power.

Alternating green and amber

Blinking amber PoE is off due to a fault.

PoE is denied because providing power to the powered device will exceed the switch power capacity. The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24PC-L, 2960-24PC-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-L, 2960-48PST-L, 2960-Plus 48PST-S, 2960-48PST-S, 2960-Plus 24PC-S, and 2960-24PC-S switches provide up to 370 W of power. The Catalyst 2960-24LT-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-L, 2960-Plus 24LC-S, and 2960-24LC-S switches provide up to 124 W of power.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Amber PoE for the port has been disabled. By default, PoE is enabled.

Dual-Purpose Port LEDs

The LEDs on a dual-purpose port show whether an RJ-45 connector is connected to the port, or if an SFP module is installed in the slot. See the example in Figure 1-24. You can configure each port as either a 10/100/1000 port through the RJ-45 connector or as an SFP module, but not both at the same time. The LEDs show how the port is being used (Ethernet or SFP module).

The LED colors have the same meanings as described in Table 1-4 and Ta b le 1-6.

Figure 1-24 Dual-Purpose Port LEDs

Caution

PoE faults are caused when noncompliant cabling or powered devices are connected to a PoE port. Only standard-compliant cabling can be used to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones or wireless access points or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices to PoE ports. You must remove from the network the cable or device that causes a PoE fault.

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.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Caution

Step 1

To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-13.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page B-4 for cable-pinout descriptions.)

When you connect to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

Figure 2-13 Connecting to an Ethernet Port

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 the switch and the connected device have established link.

The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on, 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

Step 4

Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

SFP modules are installed in SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 2960 switches. These field-replaceable modules provide the uplink optical interfaces, laser send (TX) and laser receive (RX).

You can use any combination of SFP modules. Refer to the Catalyst 2960 switch release notes for the list of SFP modules that the Catalyst 2960 switch supports. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See the “SFP Module Cable Specifications” section on page B-4 for cable

Where to Go Next

Step 2

Connect the other end of the cable to the other device. The switch automatically detects the connection and configures the port.

By default, the switch automatically selects the interface type the first time a port links up. For subsequent links, you must use the media-type interface configuration command to manually configure either the RJ-45 connector or the SFP module connector. For more information, see the command reference.

Where to Go Next

If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:

•

Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual switches. The device manager is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the device manager online help.

•

Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an

individual switch.

•

Use the CLI from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch. See the Catalyst 2960 Switch Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 2960 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI with a Catalyst 2960 switch.

Box Contents

The switch getting started guide on Cisco.com describes the box contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support.

Tools and Equipment

You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in a rack, or on a desk, a shelf, or a wall, you should power on the switch and verify that it passes POST.

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.

You can power the Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L switch through a 10/100/1000 uplink port, which can receive power from an upstream PoE switch. You can also connect the switch to an AC power adapter on the rear panel. See the “Power Input Port (Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L Switch)” section on page 1-14 for more information.

As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When the switch begins POST, the System, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.

When the POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.

POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.

After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, or on a desk, a shelf, or a wall, as described in the “Installing the Switch” section on page 3-5.

Troubleshooting

The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show failures in the power-on self-test (POST), port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. For a full description of the switch LEDs, see the “LEDs” section on page 1-14.

You can also get statistics from the browser interface, from the command-line interface (CLI), or from a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) workstation. See the software configuration guide, the switch command reference guide on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.

Diagnosing Problems

Verify 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 slowly blinks green. When POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

Note

POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does not pass POST.

Monitor Switch LEDs

Look at the port LEDs for troubleshooting information about the switch. See the “LEDs” section on

page 1-14 for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Verify Switch Connections

Review these sections when troubleshooting switch connectivity problems:

•

Bad or Damaged Cable, page 4-2

•

Ethernet and Fiber Cables, page 4-3

•

Link Status, page 4-3

•

Transceiver Module Port Issues, page 4-3

•

Port and Interface Settings, page 4-4

•

Ping the End Device, page 4-4

•

Spanning Tree Loops, page 4-4

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always look at the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might connect at the physical layer but then cause packet corruption because of subtle damage to its wiring or connectors. You can identify this situation because the port will have many packet errors, or the port constantly loses and regains link. In these situations:

•

Change the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known, good cable if necessary.

•

Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

•

Rule out any insufficient patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel or eliminate faulty media convertors, such as fiber-optic-to-copper convertors.

•

Try using the cable in another port or interface to see if the problem also exists there.

Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

4-2

OL-7075-09

Page 75

Chapter 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 unshielded twisted pair (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 ports on the connected device match and that they use the same type of encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type. For more information about cabling, see Appendix B, “Connector

and Cable Specifications.”

•

For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through cable 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 link 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 link light for the port does not come on:

•

Connect the cable from the switch to a known, good device.

Diagnosing Problems

•

Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.

•

Verify that both devices have power.

•

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 and then reconnect the cable.

Transceiver Module Port Issues

Use only Cisco small form-factor (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. Look for these items:

•

Bad or incorrect SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known, good module. Verify that this module supports this platform. See the “Features” section on page 1-1 for a list of supported SFP modules.

•

Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to verify the port or module error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown status. Re-enable the port if necessary.

•

Make sure that all you have properly cleaned and securely connected all fiber-optic connections.

OL-7075-09

Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

4-3

Page 76

Diagnosing Problems

Port and Interface Settings

An obvious but sometimes overlooked cause of port connectivity failure is a disabled port. Verify that the port or interface is not disabled or for some reason powered off. If a port or interface is manually shut down on one or the other side of the link, the link does not come up until you re-enable the port. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to verify the port or interface error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown status on both sides of the connection. If necessary, re-enable the port or the interface.

Ping the End Device

Verify the end device connection by first pinging it from the directly connected switch, 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

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) loops can cause serious performance issues that might appear to be port or interface problems. In this situation, the switch bandwidth is used repeatedly by the same frames, crowding out legitimate traffic.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

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

You can enable the UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol on the switch to help identify difficult-to-find unidirectional link problems. UDLD supports a normal mode of operation (the default) and an aggressive mode. In normal mode, UDLD detects unidirectional links because of incorrectly connected interfaces on fiber-optic connections. In aggressive mode, UDLD also detects unidirectional links caused by one-way traffic on fiber-optic and twisted-pair links and by incorrectly connected interfaces on fiber-optic links. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in the software configuration guide.

Monitor Switch Performance

Review these sections when you troubleshoot switch performance problems:

•

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation, page 4-4

•

Autonegotiation and NIC Cards, page 4-5

•

Cabling Distance, page 4-5

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

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

A common issue with speed and duplex occurs when the duplex settings are mismatched between two switches, between a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. This can happen when you manually set the speed and duplex or because of autonegotiation issues between the two devices.

4-4

Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-7075-09

Page 77

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

These circumstances can result in a mismatch:

•

A manually set speed or duplex parameter is different from the manually set speed or duplex parameter on the connected port.

•

A port is set to autonegotiate, and the connected port is set to full duplex with no autonegotiation.

To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when you set or change the settings for duplex and speed:

•

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, configure the duplex settings on the two ports to match. The speed parameter can adjust itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Autonegotiation and NIC Cards

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By default, the switch ports and interfaces are set to autonegotiate. It is common for devices such as laptop computers or other devices to also be set to autonegotiate, yet sometimes autonegotiation issues occur.

To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try to manually set both sides of the connection. If this does not solve the problem, the firmware or software on your NIC card might be causing the problem. Upgrade the NIC card driver to the latest version available from the manufacturer.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

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 Appendix B,

“Cable and Adapter Specifications.” for cabling guidelines.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

If you have configured a new switch with an incorrect IP address, you can clear the IP address that is configured on the switch.

Caution

This procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information that is stored on the switch. Do not follow this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.

Follow these steps to return your switch to the factory default settings:

Press and hold the Mode button (see Figure 1-23 on page 1-15).

The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs above the mode button turn green. You can omit this step and run Express Setup to configure the switch.

Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after an additional 8 seconds, and then the switch reboots.

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.

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

3. A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using 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. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).

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.

APPENDIX

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch. For product overview information, see Chapter 1, “Product Overview.”

Before you connect the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch

Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches),” and Chapter 3, “Switch Installation (8-Port Switches).”

For installation procedures for mounting your switch, connecting to the switch ports, or connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, “Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port

Switches),” and Chapter 3, “Switch Installation (8-Port Switches).”

These steps describe how to do an installation:

Accessing the CLI, page C-1

Connecting to the Console Port, page C-3

Starting the Terminal Emulation Software, page C-3

Connecting to a Power Source, page C-4

Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page C-4

Accessing the CLI

For an unconfigured switch, you can access the CLI through Express Setup or through the console port.

Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup

You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch by placing the switch in Express Setup mode and then connecting an Ethernet port of the switch to the Ethernet port of your PC or workstation. To put the switch into Express Setup mode, follow the steps described in the Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide for powering on the switch and using Express Setup.

After the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by using the IP address

10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. See these sections in this chapter to configure the switch by using the CLI:

•

Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page C-4

•

Completing the Setup Program, page C-5

Accessing the CLI

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

After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using the write memory privileged EXEC command.

Note

While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the switch until you enter the write memory command. You lose the Telnet connection after entering the write memory command.

For more information about using the CLI, refer to the command reference for this release.

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.

To access the switch through the console port, follow these steps:

•

Connecting to the Console Port, page C-3

•

Starting the Terminal Emulation Software, page C-3

•

Connecting to a Power Source, page C-4

•

Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page C-4

See the switch getting started guide for a list of what ships with your switch.

Note

You need to provide the Category 5 or higher straight-through cables to connect the switch ports to other Ethernet devices.

Note

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

Connecting to the Console Port

You can use the console port to perform the initial configuration. To connect the switch console port to a PC, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Connecting to the Console Port

Step 1

Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the rear of a switch, as shown in Figure C-1.

Figure C-1 Connecting a Switch to a PC

1 Catalyst 2960 switch 3 RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable

2 Power cord

Step 2

Attach the DB-9 female DTE of the adapter cable to a PC serial port, or attach an appropriate adapter to the terminal.

Starting the Terminal Emulation Software

Step 1

Step 2

OL-7075-09

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 Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Start the terminal-emulation program and open a session if you are using a PC or terminal.

Start a terminal-emulation session.

Connecting to a Power Source

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

Step 3

Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

•

9600 baud

•

8 data bits

•

1 stop bit

•

No parity

•

None (flow control)

Connecting to a Power Source

Follow these steps to connect to a power source:

Step 1

Step 2

Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on a switch rear panel. See

Figure C-1.

Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

Note

If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), refer to the documentation that shipped with your RPS.

As the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self test (POST), a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When the switch begins POST, the System, RPS, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.

POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.

If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.

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. This information is also required if you plan to use the Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.
