Connecting to an Ethernet Port
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on
when both the switch and the connected device have established a link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for
loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn
on:
•
The device at the other end might not be turned on.
•
There might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See
for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 3
Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
Installing and Removing SFP Transceivers
These sections describe how to install and remove SFP transceivers. SFP transceivers are inserted into
SFP transceiver sockets on the front of the switch or the Cisco IEM-3000-4SM or Cisco IEM-3000-8SM
expansion modules. These field-replaceable modules provide the optical interfaces, send (TX) and
receive (RX).
