10/100 and 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet Downlink Ports
You can set the 10/100 ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. 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.)
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) is a feature that allows the switch
interface to detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover) and automatically
configure the connection appropriately. With auto-MDIX enabled, you can use either a straight-through
or crossover type cable to connect to the other device, and the interface automatically corrects for any
incorrect cabling. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters)
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T 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.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33.
PoE Ports (Switches with PoE Ports)
The PoE and PoE+ ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at and also
provide Cisco prestandard PoE and PoE+ support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
All 8 downlink ports on the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L, 2960C-8PC-L, 2960C-12-PC-L, and the
3560CPD-8PT-S and are PoE-capable. Each port can supply 15.4 W of PoE per port.
OL-23803-02
The maximum switch power output for the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L is 22.4 W, and for the
Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S is 15.4 W. The maximum switch power output for the Catalyst 2960C-8PC-L
and the 2960C-12-PC-L is 123.2 W.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
All 8 or 12 downlink ports on the Catalyst,3560CG-8PC-S, 3560C-8PC-S, and 3560C-12PC-S switches
are PoE+ capable. The maximum switch power output is 123.2 W. You can budget the PoE and PoE+:
• 15.4 W of PoE output on eight ports
• 30 W of PoE+ on four ports
On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone
or an access point is connected.
The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T 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.
Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation, power
reservation, and per-port power policing. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports,
see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting to the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33.
NoteThe output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
PoE Pass-Through
The Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L and 3560CPD-8PT-S switches provide PoE pass-through. The
Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L is powered either through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power
from a PoE or PoE+ switch or through an auxiliary power adapter. The Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S is
powered through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power from a PoE+ switch or through an
auxiliary power adapter. If the switch has surplus power (see Tab l e 1-2), it can power other PoE-capable
devices such as IP phones, access points, and so on. See Figure 1-6.
See the “Powering the Switch” section on page 2-4 for information on powering the switches.

Some models have an USB Type A port. This port provides access to external Cisco USB flash devices
(also known as thumb drives or USB keys). The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities
from 64 MB to 1 GB.
Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy,
as well as the capability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.
For more information about the switch management ports, see the switch software configuration guide
and the command reference on Cisco.com.
Front Panel
Dual-Purpose Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP-module
ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100,
or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) 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 switch software configuration guide.
SFP Modules
The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable
transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces.The modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic
connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections.
You can use any combination of these supported SFP modules:
• GLC-LH-SM=
• GLC-SX-MM=
• GLC-ZX-SM=
OL-23803-02
• GLC-BX-D=
• GLC-BX-U=

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the “Installing SFP
Modules” section on page 2-31. For cable specifications, see the “SFP Module Cables” section on
page B-3.
Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either
the RJ-45 console port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console port.
• RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
• USB-mini console port (5-pin connector). The USB connection uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin
mini-Type B cable.
The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device
that is connected to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
Chapter 1 Product Overview
NoteFor information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the “Installing the Cisco Microsoft
Windows USB Device Drivers” section on page C-4.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the
console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special
drivers.
NoteThe 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.
Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-7USB Mini-Type B Port
253163
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB-mini console port is
activated, but no input activity occurs for a specified time period. When the USB-mini console port
deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB-mini console interface, see the switch
software guide.

input takes precedence.
Verifying Switch Operation
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. LEDs blink during the test, which 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 green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED turns 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, unplug the power cord from the switch. Mount the switch in a rack on a desk
or shelf, under a desk or shelf, or on a wall, as described in the “Mounting the Switch” section on
page 2-5.

Step 1Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
On some SFP modules, the TX and RX markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of
the connection, either send or receive.
Step 3If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 5If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
Step 7Connect the SFP cables.
Figure 2-34Installing an SFP Module
CautionDo not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
Removing SFP Modules
Step 1Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module.
Step 4If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject it. If the latch is obstructed and
you cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument.
Step 5Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the slot.

Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum
cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. The 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category 4 cable.
The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default on the switch. At this setting, the switch ports
configure themselves to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the device does not support
autonegotiation, you can set the switch port speed and duplex parameters. To maximize performance,
either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on
both ends of the connection.
See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information about autonegotiation and auto-MDIX.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Tab l e 2-1 to select the cable for connecting the
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to other devices. See the “Cables and Adapters” section on page B-3 for
cable-pinout descriptions. See Figure 2-36.

Connecting to the PoE Ports
The 10/100 PoE ports have the same autonegotiation settings and cabling requirements as those in the
“Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33. These ports provide PoE
power.
See the e “PoE Ports (Switches with PoE Ports)” section on page 1-5 for information on the cables and
connectors.
The ports provide PoE support for 802.3af-compliant devices and also provide Cisco prestandard PoE
support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power to a connected
IP phone or an access point.

Diagnosing Problems
The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show POST failures,
port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the device
manager, the CLI, or an 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
Switch LEDs
Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See the “LEDs” section on
page 1-12 for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.
Switch Connections
Bad or Damaged Cable
Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect
at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors.
You can identify this problem because the port has many packet errors or it constantly flaps (loses and
regains link).
• Exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known good cable.
• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.
• Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the
destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media convertors
(fiber-optic-to-copper).
• Try the cable in another port to see if the problem follows the cable.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables
Make sure that you have the correct cable:
• For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections.
• Verify that you have the correct fiber-optic cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the
connected device ports match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.
• Determine if a copper crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse.
Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable. See Tab le 2-1 for recommended Ethernet
cables.
Link Status
Verify that both sides have link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show link even
though the other side does not have link.
A port LED that is on does not guarantee that the cable is functional. It might have encountered physical
stress, causing it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:
• Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.
• 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 information.
• Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable,
and then reconnect it.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
10/100 and 10/100/1000 Port Connections
A port appears to malfunction:
• Verify the status of all ports. See Table 1-7 on page 1-14 for descriptions of the LEDs and their
meanings.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or
shut down. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type. See Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”
10/100 PoE or PoE+ Port Connections
A powered device connected to a PoE or PoE+ port does not receive power:
• Verify the status of all the ports. See Tab l e 1-7 for descriptions of the LEDs and their meanings.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or
shutdown. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type. Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access
points that do not fully support 802.3af might not support PoE when connected to the switch by a
crossover cable. Replace the crossover cable with a straight-through cable.
Diagnosing Problems
CautionNoncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only compliant cabling to
SFP Module
Interface Settings
connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones, and wireless access points, or 802.3af-compliant devices.
Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with
security information. This encoding verifies that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
• Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module.
• Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the
SFP modules that the switch supports.)
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled,
disabled, or shutdown. Re-enable the port if needed.
• Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.
Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either
side of the link, it does not come up until you re-enable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged
EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the
connection. If needed, re-enable the interface.
Ping End Device
OL-23803-02
Ping from the directly connected switch first, 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.

Diagnosing Problems
Spanning Tree Loops
STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.
A unidirectional link can cause loops. It occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by the
neighbor, but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken cable, other cabling
problems, or a port issue could cause this one-way communication.
You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link
problems. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the “Understanding UDLD” section
in the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
Switch Performance
Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation
Port statistics that show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or
late-collisions errors, might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.
A common issue occurs when duplex and speed settings are mismatched between two switches, between
a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when
manually setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.
To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the
duplex or the speed settings.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the interfaces on both ends of the connection.
• If a remote device does not autonegotiate, use the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed
parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.
Autonegotiation and Network Interface Cards
Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By
default, the switch ports and interfaces autonegotiate. Laptops or other devices are commonly set to
autonegotiate, yet sometimes issues occur.
To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does
not solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on the NIC. You can
resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.
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 the “Cables and
Adapters” section on page B-3.

communications, the cable must not exceed the allowable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers
use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 (or greater) cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.
2. 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).

3. 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.
4. 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.
