Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)

Connecting the Switch to Compatible Devices

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there
might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See

Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,”

for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 5

If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

Caution

To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

Note

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, use a four twisted-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.

Step 1

Insert one end of the cable into the SFP module port (see

Figure 2-20

). When connecting to servers,

workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When
connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.

Step 2

Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.

Step 3

Observe the port status LED.

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
