10/100 Fast Ethernet Ports

You can set the 10/100 ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full duplex, or
10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation. The default setting is
autonegotiate.
When set for autonegotiation, the switch determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached device
and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the switch
negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex
transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the
attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).

PoE Ports

Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

Cisco CGS 2520 Hardware Installation Guide

78-19377-01 1-3
 Chapter 1 Product Overview
Cable Side

The 10/100 PoE ports on the Cisco CGS-2520-16S-8PC switches provide PoE support for devices that
are compliant with IEEE 802.3af. The Cisco prestandard PoE is also supported for Cisco IP Phones and
Cisco Aironet Access Points. The PoE ports on the switch deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE. Any four of the
eight ports are designated as high priority PoE ports, while other four ports are designated as low priority
PoE ports. When both the power-supply modules are installed, the system has enough power to support
all the eight ports as PoE ports. In case one of the power-supply module fails, the power to the low
priority PoE ports is dropped, while power to the high priority PoE ports remains uninterrupted.
On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone
or an access point is connected.
The 10/100 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328
feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or
Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration
guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting Devices to the
Ethernet Ports” section on page 2-15 and the “Connector and Cable Specifications” section on page B-1.

Note The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.

Dual-Purpose Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP-module
ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100,
or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP).
When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link
goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the
media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP
port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information
on configuring interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.

SFP Modules
The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable
transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces. You can use any combination of these supported SFP
modules. The modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper
connections.

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the “Installing and
Removing SFP Modules” section on page 2-12. For cable specifications, see Appendix B, “SFP Module
Cables.”

SFP Module Patch Cable

The switch uses an SFP-module patch cable, a 0.5-meter, copper, passive cable with SFP module
connectors at each end (see Figure 1-3). The patch cable connects two switches in a cascaded
configuration.

Figure 1-3 SFP-Module Patch Cable

Power-Input Terminal
The power-input terminal provides screw terminals for the AC and DC power connections. The switch
can operate with one or two power supplies. If one of the power sources fail, the other continues to power
the switch. See Chapter 3, “Power Supply Installation,” for information.

Figure 1-4 Power-Input Terminal

Alarm Ports
The switch has four alarm inputs and one alarm output. The alarm setting is open or closed.
• Open means that the normal condition has current flowing through the contact (referred to as a
normally closed contact). The alarm is generated when the current stops.
• Closed means that no current flows through the contact (referred to as a normally open contact). The
alarm is generated when the current flows.

Alarm Input
The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. You can connect up to four alarm inputs from devices, such
as a door, a temperature gauge, or a fire alarm, to the alarm port. You can use the CLI to set the alarm
severity to minor, major, or critical. An alarm generates a system message and turns on an LED. See the
“Alarm LEDs” section on page 1-9 for the LED descriptions.

Alarm Output
The alarm output can be configured as a minor or major alarm. Output alarms often control an external
alarm, such as a bell or a light. To connect an external alarm device to the relay, you connect two relay
contact wires to complete the electrical circuit. See Figure B-4 on page B-3 for information on the alarm
pinouts.

Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either
the RJ-45 console port or the USB console port.
• RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
• USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector). The USB connection uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin
mini-Type B cable.
The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that
is connected to the USB console port (device running with Microsoft Windows).

Note For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the “Installing the Cisco Microsoft
Windows USB Device Drivers” section on page C-4.

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the
console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special
drivers.

Note The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.
Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 1-5.

Figure 1-5 USB Mini-Type B Port

The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB console port is
activated, but no input activity occurs on it for a specified time period. When the USB console port
deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the switch software
guide.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

Installing SFP Modules

When installing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:
• Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
module more often than is absolutely necessary.
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.

Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that
show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.

Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports

Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports

• Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports, page 2-15
• Connecting to the 10/100 PoE Ports, page 2-16

Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

The 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The
maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires
Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. The 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category
4 cable.
The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default on the switch. At this setting, the switch ports
configure themselves to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the device does not support
autonegotiation, you can set the switch port speed and duplex parameters. To maximize performance,
either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on
both ends of the connection.
For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is
enabled by default. With auto-MDIX enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper
Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover
or a straight-through cable for connections to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of
connected device.
See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information about autonegotiation and auto-MDIX.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Table 2-1 to select the cable for connecting the
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to other devices. See the “Connector and Cable Specifications” section on
page B-1 for cable-pinout descriptions. See Figure 2-12.

1. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted four-pair, Category 5, Category 5e, or
Category 6 cable. 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category 4 cable.

Connecting to the 10/100 PoE Ports

The Cisco CGS-2520-16S-8PC switch 10/100 PoE ports have the same autonegotiation settings and
cabling requirements as those in the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on
page 2-15. These ports provide PoE power.
See the “PoE Ports” section on page 1-3 for information on the cables and connectors.
The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and also provide Cisco
prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power to a connected
IP phone or an access point.
To access an advanced PoE planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator on Cisco.com:
http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp
You can use this application to calculate the power supply requirements for a specific PoE configuration.
The results show output current, output power, and heat dissipation.

Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables
to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.

Diagnosing Problems
The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show POST failures,
port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the device
manager, the CLI, or an SNMP workstation. See the software configuration guide, the switch command
reference guide on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.

Switch POST Results

See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-3 for information on POST.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does
not pass POST.

 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Problems

Switch LEDs
Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See the “LEDs” section on page 1-8
for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Switch Connections

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect
at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors.
You can identify this problem because the port has many packet errors or it constantly flaps (loses and
regains link).
• Exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known good cable.
• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.
• Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the
destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media convertors
(fiber-optic-to-copper).
• Try the cable in another port to see if the problem follows the cable.

Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

Make sure that you have the correct cable:
• For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections.
• Verify that you have the correct fiber-optic cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the
connected device ports match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.
• Determine if a copper crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse.
Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable. See Table 2-1 for recommended Ethernet
cables.

Link Status
Verify that both sides have link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show link even
though the other side does not have link.
A port LED that is on does not guarantee that the cable is functional. It might have encountered physical
stress, causing it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:
• Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.
• Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.
• Verify that both devices have power.
• Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See Appendix B, “Connector and Cable
Specifications” for information.
• Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable,
and then reconnect it.

 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Problems

10/100 and 10/100/1000 Port Connections

A port appears to malfunction:
• Verify the status of all ports. See Table 1-7 on page 1-10 for descriptions of the LEDs and their
meanings.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or
shut down. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type. See Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”

10/100 PoE Port Connections

A powered device connected to a PoE port does not receive power:
• Verify the status of all the ports. See Table 1-7 for descriptions of the LEDs and their meanings.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or
shutdown. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type. Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access
points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af might not support PoE when connected to the switch
by a crossover cable. Replace the crossover cable with a straight-through cable.

Caution Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only compliant cabling to
connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones, and wireless access points, or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices.

SFP Module
Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with
security information. This encoding verifies that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
• Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module.
• Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the
SFP modules that the switch supports.)
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled,
disabled, or shutdown. Re-enable the port if needed.
• Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.

Interface Settings
Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either
side of the link, it does not come up until you re-enable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged
EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the
connection. If needed, re-enable the interface.

Ping End Device

Ping from the directly connected switch first, and then work your way back port by port, interface by
interface, trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch
can identify the end device MAC address in its Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.

78-19377-01 4-3
 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Problems

Spanning Tree Loops

STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.
A unidirectional link can cause loops. It occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by the
neighbor, but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken cable, other cabling
problems, or a port issue could cause this one-way communication.
You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link
problems. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the “Understanding UDLD” section
in the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

Switch Performance

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

Port statistics that show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or
late-collisions errors, might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.
A common issue occurs when duplex and speed settings are mismatched between two switches, between
a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when
manually setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.
To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the
duplex or the speed settings.
• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the interfaces on both ends of the connection.
• If a remote device does not autonegotiate, use the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed
parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Autonegotiation and Network Interface Cards

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By
default, the switch ports and interfaces autonegotiate. Laptops or other devices are commonly set to
autonegotiate, yet sometimes issues occur.
To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does
not solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on the NIC. You can
resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.

Cabling Distance
If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable distance
from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines. See the “Cables and
Adapters” section on page B-4.

Connector Specifications

When connecting 10/100 ports to devices such as servers, workstations, and routers, you can use a two
or four twisted-pair straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Figure B-5 shows
the two twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics. Figure B-7 shows the four twisted-pair
straight-through cable schematics.
When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you can use a two or four
twisted-pair crossover cable. Figure B-6 shows the two twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.
Figure B-8 shows the four twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use a straight-through cable to connect ports when only one port is labeled
with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect ports when both ports are labeled with an X or when both
ports are not labeled with an X.
You can use Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling when connecting to 10BASE-T-compatible devices. You must
use Category 5 (or higher) cabling when connecting to 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.

Note You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled,
the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of
device on the other end of the connection.

1. Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber.
2. 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the distance depends on
the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.
3. A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.

Note When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline
optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP
module.
