Chapter 1 Product Overview
100BASE-FX Ports
These modules automatically configure themselves when you insert them in
expansion slots and tighten the thumb screws. A power-on self-test (POST)
verifies that the module is working properly before it starts forwarding packets.
Modules WS-X2914-XL and WS-X2922-XL support 2048 MAC addresses. If
you install one of these modules in a 2924M XL or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch
(both supporting 8192 MAC addresses), the module fails POST. You can start the
module by restarting the switch with the module installed. After the restart, the
switch address capacity is reduced to 2048 MAC addresses.
See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL Modules Installation Guide and the
Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules Installation and Configuration Guide for
detailed information on expansion modules for Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.
LEDs
You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and its performance.
Figure 1-5 , Figure 1-6 , and Figure 1-7 show the location of the LEDs and the
Mode button that you use to select a port mode. Changing a port mode changes
the information provided by each port LED.
All of the LEDs described in this section except the utilization meter (UTL) are
visible on the Cluster Management Suite (CMS) window and, if the switch is a
cluster member, on the CMS Cluster Manager window. The Catalyst 2900 Series
XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide describes how to
use CMS to manage standalone or individual switches and how to use cluster
management software to manage switch clusters].
