PoE Ports

The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at and also provide PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. The PoE switch ports are Power Source equipment (PSE) capable and source power to PD devices connected to the downlink ports. A switch can source POE power of up to 30.8W per port.

Depending on the switch model and the number of PoE ports, the maximum switch power output varies between 67 W to 740 W. On a per-port basis, you can 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 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5 or Category 5e twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or 
Category 4 UTP cable.

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 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5 or Category 5e twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or 
Category 4 UTP cable.

Console Port

The console ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.

RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232) connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

SFP Module Slots


Note

The Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Fast Ethernet Switches do not support SFP+ module slots.

The switch has two 1G SFP module slots. The SFP modules provide copper or fiber-optic connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field replaceable, and provide the uplink interfaces when installed in an SFP module slot. The SFP modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections. The SFP slots support only SFP modules.

System is operating normally.

Amber

System is receiving power but is not operating properly.

Blinking Green

POST is in progress.

Port LEDs


Note

Physically, there is no amber LED on the device. For all LED-related information of the device, run the show hardware led command in privileged EXEC mode.

RJ-45 ports and SFP-module slots have port LEDs. These LEDs, as a group or individually, provide information about the switch and about the individual ports.

LED Color Description

Off

No link or port was administratively shut down or port was STP blocked.

Green

Link present.

Blinking Green

Activity. Port is sending or receiving data.

Internal Power Supply

The internal power supply is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC (max of 90V to 264V). The AC frequency range of the power supply is 50Hz/60Hz. Plug the AC power cord into the AC power connector and into an AC power outlet.

Security Slot

The switches have security slots on the rear panel. You can install an optional cable lock, such as the type that is used to secure a laptop computer, to secure the switch.

Network Configurations

See the switch software configuration guide for network configuration concepts and examples of using the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the segments through Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections.
