Catalyst 4000 Series Switches
The Catalyst 4000 series switches consist of the Catalyst 4003 switch and the Catalyst 4006 switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4000 Series Installation Guide. These switches are no longer sold or supported by Cisco, but most switching modules originally created for the Catalyst 4000 function in a Catalyst 4500 or Catalyst 4500 E-Series switch. Catalyst OS and the supervisor engines using it are likewise End of Life (EoL) products.
Catalyst 4500 Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500 series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503 switch, the Catalyst 4506 switch, the Catalyst 4507R switch, and the Catalyst 4510R switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4500 Series Installation Guide.
Switching modules created for these switches can also be used with a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch chassis or supervisor engine.
Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches
The Catalyst 4500 E-series switches consist of the Catalyst 4503-E switch, the Catalyst 4506-E switch, the Catalyst 4507R-E switch, and the Catalyst 4510R-E switch. The switches are designed for high-performance, high-density wiring closet applications. A detailed overview of these switches is in the Catalyst 4500 E- Series Installation Guide.
Switching modules created for these switches are not compatible with a Catalyst 4500 Classic chassis or supervisor engine. They require a larger capacity connection to the chassis backplane than is available with Catalyst 4500 Classic hardware.

Supervisor engines use an RJ-45 connector on the front panel with a link status LED. For the location of the port, see Figure 1-1 (WS-X4012), Figure 1-2 (WS-X4013), Figure 1-3 (WS-X4013+), Figure 1-4 (WS-X4013+TS), Figure 1-5 (WS-X4013+10GE), Figure 1-6 (WS-X4014), Figure 1-7 (WS-X4515), Figure 1-8 (WS-X4516), or Figure 1-9 (WS-X4516-10GE).
TCP/IP-based management services available through inband access also are provided through this port (Telnet and SNMP). This management port also supports image download.
Note
The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-T Ethernet management ports are for network management only. These ports do not support network switching.
Console Port
The console port allows you to perform the following functions:
•
Configure the switch from the CLI
•
Monitor network statistics and errors
•
Configure SNMP agent parameters
•
Download software updates to the switch or distribute software images residing in Flash memory to attached devices
The Catalyst 4003 console port is a DCE DB-25 receptacle, which supports a DCE EIA/TIA-232 interface. The console port is an RJ-45 receptacle on the Catalyst 4006, 4503, 4506, and 4507.
Note
EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a standard by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).

If the powered devices are using less than 15.4 W per port, more powered devices can be powered, up to the 312 Watt maximum. For more information about installing the PEM or the external power shelf, refer to the Catalyst 4000 Series Installation Guide, Catalyst 4500 Series Installation Guide, Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf, or the Catalyst 4500 Series Power Entry Module and External Power Shelf Installation Note.
To provide PoE with the 48-port PoE 10/100BASE-TX switching module in a Catalyst 4500 series switch, you must have a PoE-enabled power supply. All power supplies support PoE except the 1000 W and 1400 W AC power supplies.
Note
Auto MDIX is not supported on PoE enabled switching modules.

Ports on this switching module may be oversubscribed, depending on utilization. For further information on these ports, see the "Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Ports" section on page 3-11.
The 48 ports can be configured with any combination of small, form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules. For a description of SFP modules, see the Cisco SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes.
Problem
Insertion of unsupported SFPs (small form-factor pluggable optics) into a WS-X4448-GB-LX module can cause undetected communication failures between the supervisor engine and the corresponding module. Subsequent insertion or removal of SFPs from the module is not recognized by the system. This activity can be observed on a Catalyst 4500 series switch using Release 12.1(12c)EW1 or later releases.
Solution
Reset the module with the hw-module module reset command. (CSCee05078)

Hot-Swapping Feature
Catalyst 4500 series switches allow you to remove and replace switching modules without powering down the switch. This feature is known as hot swapping.
When you remove or insert a switching module while the switch is operating, the system does the following:
1.
Scans the backplane for configuration changes.
2.
Initializes all newly inserted switching modules, notes any removed modules, and places them in the administratively shutdown state.
3.
Places any previously configured interfaces on the switching module back to the state they were in when they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but unconfigured) at boot time. If you insert a similar switching-module type into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original switching module.
The system runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces. If the test passes, the system is operating normally. If the new switching module is faulty, the system resumes normal operation but places the new module in the "faulty" state.
If the diagnostic test fails, the system crashes, which usually indicates that the new switching module has a problem and should be removed.
Caution 
To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize, and note the current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or insert another switching module.
When you hot swap switching modules, the system displays status messages on the console screen. The following sample display shows the messages logged by the system when a switching module is removed from slot 2:
2001 Sep 09 12:23:26 %SYS-5-MOD_REMOVE:Module 3 has been removed
2001 Sep 09 12:23:44 %SYS-5-MOD_INSERT:Module 3 has been inserted
2001 Sep 09 12:23:47 %SYS-5-MOD_OK:Module 3 is online
If you use the show port command to query the module before reinstalling a module to replace the removed one, the system responds, "Module 3 is not installed." When the module is reinserted, the system recognizes the module as ready again.
