Connecting the switch to the network
WARNING!
To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the fiber ports and optical fiber connectors when connecting
optical fibers.
Before you connect the switch to the network, verify that all its basic network settings are correct.
Connecting the switch to the network through an Ethernet
twisted pair cable
The 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 10GBase-T ports on the switch use RJ-45 connectors and support
MDI/MDIX auto-sensing. Connect the ports by using the following cables:
• 10/100/1000BASE-T ports—Category 5 or above twisted pair cables.
• 10GBase-T ports—Category 6A or category 7 twisted pair cables.
For more information about Ethernet twisted pairs, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a copper port to a peer device through an Ethernet twisted pair cable:
1. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on the switch.
2. Plug the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the peer device.
3. Verify that the RJ-45 ports are operating correctly by examining the LED status.
For more information about the LED status, see "Appendix C LEDs."
Connecting the switch to the network through an optical fiber
You can install a transceiver module (see "Installing FRUs") in a fiber port and use an optical fiber to
connect the port to the network. For more information about optical fibers, see "Appendix D Cables."
