Product Overview

PoE and PoE+ Ports

The ports provide PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and ePoE and also provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.

The maximum switch power output is either 740 W or 370 W, depending on the switch model. Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.

For switches with a 740 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:

15.4 W of PoE output on 48 ports

•

PoE and PoE+ Ports

10/100/1000 PoE+ ports6USB mini-Type B (console) port2

RJ-45 console port7USB Type A port3

Ethernet management port8USB Type A port4

30 W of PoE+ on 24 ports

•

For switches with a 370 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:

15.4 W of PoE output on 24 ports

•

7.7 W of PoE output on 48 ports

•

30 W of PoE+ on 12 ports

•

Total power budget can be allocated among the 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 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 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.

The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.Note

10/100/1000 Ports

The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX 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.

Ethernet management port.

•

RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232).

•

USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).

•

The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.

If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not require special drivers.

The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

Product Overview

This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.

Figure 3: USB Mini-Type B Port

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.

The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45 console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time.

After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the software guide.

Product Overview

USB Type A Port

The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB keys).

The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you can upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system. It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive’s configuration and image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for a bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USB drive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, these are copied to flash for the reboot.

SFP and SFP+ Module Slots

USB Type A Port

LEDs

The switch has either two or four 1-Gigabit SFP or two 10-Gigabit SFP+ module slots. The slots marked SFP+ support both SFP and SFP+ modules. The SFP slots support only the SFP modules.

If your switches are stacked and you press the Mode button on any switch, all the switches display the same selected mode. For example, if you press the Mode button on the stack master to display SPEED, all the other stack members display SPEED.

Even if PoE mode is not selected, this LED still shows PoE problems if they are detected.

The STACK LED shows the sequence of member switches in a stack. Up to eight switches can be members of a stack. The first eight port LEDs show the switch member number. For example, if you press the Mode button and select Stack, the port LED 1 blinks green. The LEDs for port 2 and 3 are solid green, as these represent the member numbers of other stack members. The other port LEDs are off because there are no more members in the stack.

This figure shows the LEDs on the first switch, which is stack member number 1.

Product Overview

Console LEDs

Rear Panel

When you select the STACK LED, the respective STACK LEDs are green when the stack ports (on the switch rear panel) are up, and the respective Stack LEDs are amber when the ports are down. SFP+ module port LEDs 1 and 2 on the switch show the status for stack ports 1 and 2, respectively.

If the port LEDs are green on all the switches in the stack, the stack is operating at full bandwidth. If any port LED is not green, the stack is not operating at full bandwidth.

The console LEDs show which console port is in use. If you connect a cable to a console port, the switch automatically uses that port for console communication. If you connect two console cables, the USB console port has priority.

Installation Guidelines

When determining where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Switch Hardware Installation Guide

26 OL-28309-02

Switch Installation

Verifying Switch Operation

Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:

•

Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.

◦

Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

◦

AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.

◦

Access to the rear of the rack is sufficient for connecting FlexStack cables to stacked switches, or

◦

connecting the optional Cisco Redundant Power Supply (RPS) 2300.

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting

•

fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.

For switches with the optional 1025-W power-supply module, first rack-mount the switch before installing

•

the power-supply module.

Make sure power-supply modules are securely inserted in the chassis before moving the switch.

•

When connecting or disconnecting the power cord on a switch that is installed above or below a 1025-W

•

power supply-equipped switch, you might need to remove the module from the switch to access the power cord.

Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.

•

For the Catalyst 2960X-24PSQ-L switches: Allow these clearances:

•

Top and bottom: 1.75 in. (44.44 mm)

•

Back of switch: 3 in. (76.19 mm)

•

Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is installed in a closed or

•

multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.

Humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent.

•

Altitude at the installation site is not greater than 10,000 feet.

•

For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot exceed 328

•

feet (100 meters).

Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can draw dust and other particles causing

•

contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in system malfunction. You must install this equipment in an environment as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities) as is possible.

Verifying Switch Operation

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

To power on the switch, plug one end of the AC power cord into the switch AC power connector, and plug the other end into an AC power outlet.

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

Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Switch Hardware Installation Guide

OL-28309-02 27

Planning and Installing a Switch Stack (Optional)

begins POST, the SYST, RPS, STAT, and SPEED LEDs turn green. The SYST LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.

When the switch completes POST successfully, the SYST LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the SYST 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 and install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf.

If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to different AC power sources. See the Cisco RPS documentation for information.

Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks

Consider these guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:

The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the stack

•

master.

If you want a particular switch to be the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch becomes

•

the stack master and remains the stack master until a master reelection. After 2 minutes, power on the other stack switches.

If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the stack master, power on all the switches in the

•

stack within a 1-minute timeframe. These switches participate in the stack master election. Switches powered on after the 1-minute timeframe do not participate in the election.

Power off a switch before you add it to or remove it from an existing switch stack.

•

For conditions that can cause a stack master reelection or to manually elect the stack master, see the Catalyst 2960-X Switch Stacking Configuration Guide or Catalyst 2960-XR Switch Stacking Configuration Guide on

10/100/1000 Port Connections

The switch 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the 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 interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

•

Auto-MDIX Connections

The autonegotiation and the auto-MDIX features are enabled by default on the switch.

With autonegotiation, the switch port configurations change to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the switch interface speed and duplex parameters.

With auto-MDIX, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly.

If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in this table to select the correct cable.

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 situation because the port has many packet errors or the port constantly flaps (loses and regains link).

Examine or 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 faulty media convertors (fiber-optic-to-copper).

Try the cable in another port or interface, if possible, to see if the problem follows the cable.

•

Remove and inspect the stack cable and stack port for bent pins or damaged connectors. If the cable is

•

bad, replace it with a known good cable.

Troubleshooting

Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

Make sure that you have the correct cable for the connection.

For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5, Category

•

5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections.

For fiber-optic cables, verify that you have the correct cable for the distance and port type. Make sure

•

that the connected device ports both match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.

For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through 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 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 fully functional. The cable might have encountered physical stress that causes 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.

•

Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated, but is not. Disconnect the cable

•

and then reconnect it.

Caution

SFP and SFP+ Module

Use only Cisco SFP or SFP+ modules in 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.

Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module. Verify that the

Switch Performance

Interface Settings

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 reenable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown on either side of the connection. If needed, reenable the interface.

Ping End Device

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.

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 its neighbor, but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken fiber-optic 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.

Troubleshooting

Switch Performance

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

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

A common issue with speed and duplex 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.

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 autonegotiation issues occur.

Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Switch Hardware Installation Guide

64 OL-28309-02

Troubleshooting

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

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 your 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.

Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration

If you have configured a new switch with a wrong IP address, or if all of the switch LEDs start blinking when you are trying to enter Express Setup mode, you can clear the configured IP address. The switch returns to the factory default settings.

Note

Step 1

Step 2

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

Procedure

Press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs blink after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs above the Mode button turn green. You can omit the next step.

Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after 8 seconds, and then the switch reboots. You can now configure the switch by using Express Setup as described in the switch getting started guide.

You can also configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in the appendix.

Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup

You can access the CLI on an unconfigured switch. Set the switch in Express Setup mode and connect a switch Ethernet port to an Ethernet port on your PC or workstation. Follow the steps described in the getting started guide for turning on the switch and using Express Setup.

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

10.0.0.1. Enter the setup user EXEC command. Enter the information described in IP Settings, on page 89 and Completing the Setup Program, on page 89.

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

Note

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.

Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the RJ-45 console port or USB console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation program.

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 needed to use Device Manager or Cisco Network Assistant to configure and manage the switch.

IP Settings

Obtain this information from your network administrator before you start the setup program:

Switch IP address

•

Subnet mask (IP netmask)

•

Default gateway (router)

•

Enable secret password

•
