The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the
subnet on which the first switch resides. See
.
Maintaining the Switch
The Cisco MDS 9124e Switch does not require any regular physical maintenance. However, it is
critical that environmental conditions, described in ”
” are met to help
prevent switch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow.
Installing dust covers in empty ports
The dust covers included in the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch shipping carton, (see
) must be
inserted in ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper airflow and helps
reduce dust contamination of the switch.

1.
Press and hold the cable release.
2.
Remove the cable from the transceiver.

1.
Make sure that the bail is in the unlocked position.
2.
Orient the SFP with the appropriate port. See
