•

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there
might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See

Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,”

for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 5

If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.

Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

Caution

To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

Note

When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the
switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.

Step 1

Insert one end of the cable into the SFP module port (see

Figure 2-20

). When connecting to servers,

workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When
connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.

Step 2

Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.

Step 3

Observe the port status LED.

•

The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.

•

The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
