1 About this Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Metro Ethernet (ME) 3400E Ethernet Access switch. Also covered are switch management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection procedures, and troubleshooting help.

For additional installation and configuration information, see the Cisco ME 3400E switch documentation on Cisco.com. For system requirements, important notes, limitations, open and resolved bugs, and last-minute documentation updates, see the release notes, also on Cisco.com.

When you use the online publications, refer to the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version that is running on the switch. Look on the switch rear panel to locate the software version or enter the show version command from the command-line interface (CLI).
