Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description Configuration • – Supports manual and autoconfiguration for 10/100 ports – Supports manual configuration at 10 or 100 Mbps for 10/100/1000 port (full duplex only at 1000 Mbps) – Supports only 100 Mbps and full duplex for 100BASE-FX port – Supports 8192 MAC addresses – Checks for errors on a received packet, determines the destination port, stores the packet in shared memory, and then forwards the packet to the destination port Front-Panel Description The sw
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description Port Numbering Table 1-1 lists the port and slot numbering for the Catalyst 2940 switches. Table 1-1 Port and Slot Numbering Port or Slot type Catalyst 2940-8TT-S Catalyst 2940-8TF-S 10/100 Ethernet 1 through 8 1 through 8 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 1 — 100BASE-FX — 9 SFP module — 1 10/100 Ports The 10/100 ports use RJ-45 connectors and twisted-pair cabling.
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description Note When connecting the switch to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 cable. Note When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, and routers, be sure to use a twisted-pair straight-through cable. When connecting the switch to hubs or other switches, use a twisted-pair crossover cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in Appendix B, “Connectors and Cables.
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description SFP Modules The Catalyst 2940-8TF-S switch uses a field-replaceable SFP module to establish Gigabit connections. You insert an SFP module into the SFP module slot on the front of the switch.
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description The Cisco CWDM SFPs operate on single-mode fiber. The SFPs support both Gigabit Ethernet as well as fiber channel (1 Gigabit and 2 Gigabit) links. For more information about Cisco CWDM SFPs, see the Cisco CWDM SFP Compatibility Matrix at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/issg/tmg/cwdm.shtml#matrix Also see your SFP module documentation and the Cisco Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules Installation Notes (not orderable but is available on Cisco.com).
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description All of the LEDs described in this section are visible through the GUI management applications—the Network Assistant application for multiple switches and the device manager for a single switch. The switch software configuration guide describes how to use the CLI to configure and to monitor individual switches and switch clusters. SYST LED The SYST LED shows whether the system is receiving power and functioning properly.
Chapter 1 Overview Front-Panel Description Table 1-6 Meaning of Port LED Colors in Different Modes Port Mode Color Meaning STAT Off No link. Solid green Link present. Flashing green Activity. Port is sending or receiving data. Alternating green-amber Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and errors such as excessive collisions, CRC errors, and alignment and jabber errors are monitored for a link-fault indication. Solid amber Port is not forwarding.
Chapter 1 Overview Rear-Panel Description Rear-Panel Description The rear panel of the switches, as shown in Figure 1-4, have an AC power connector and an RJ-45 console port. Figure 1-4 Catalyst 2940 Switch Rear Panel 89886 2 1 1 AC power connector 2 RJ-45 console port Power Connector You provide power to a switch by using the AC internal power supply. The internal AC power supply is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC.
Chapter 1 Overview Rear-Panel Description Console Port You can connect a switch to a PC through the console port by using a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco. For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page B-5.
Chapter 1 Overview Management Options Management Options Catalyst 2940 switches offer these management options: • Network Assistant The Network Assistant is a GUI-based application that you can install and run on your desktop; you do not need a web browser to run it. You can use Network Assistant to manage and monitor switch clusters or standalone devices. For more information, see the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide and the Network Assistant online help.

C H A P T E R 2 Installation This chapter describes how to install your switch, how to interpret the power-on self-test (POST), and how to connect the switch to other devices.
Chapter 2 Installation Preparing for Installation Warning Do not stack the chassis on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can cause severe bodily injury and equipment damage. Statement 48 Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main disconnecting device. Statement 1019 Warning To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113°F (45°C).
Chapter 2 Installation Preparing for Installation Installation Guidelines When determining where to place the switch, observe these guidelines. • Before installing the switch, first verify that the switch is operational by powering it on and running POST. Follow the procedures in the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-4. • For 10/100 ports and the 10/100/1000 port, the cable length from a switch to an attached device cannot exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
Chapter 2 Installation Verifying Switch Operation • Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Catalyst 2940 Switch (order number DOC-7816656=) • Product ownership registration card If you want to connect a terminal to the switch console port, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco.

Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to an SFP Module Installing the Switch (Magnet Mount) To mount a switch by using the magnet, follow these steps: Step 1 Place one side of the magnet against the bottom of the switch, as shown in Figure 2-7 Figure 2-7 Mounting the Switch with a Magnet 1 2 Catalyst 29 40 SERIES SPD STAT Desk 2 Magnet SYST Step 2 1 3 93242 DPLX 3 Switch Mount the magnet and switch on a metal surface.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to an SFP Module Note Refer to the release notes for the latest information about SFP modules supported by the switch. Follow these steps to connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP module: Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to 10/100 Ports and the 10/100/1000 Port Connecting to 10/100 Ports and the 10/100/1000 Port The 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed and duplex settings of attached devices.They operate at 10 or 100 Mbps in half- or full-duplex mode. If the attached devices do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. The 10/100/1000 port on the 2940-8TT-S operates at the speed setting of the attached device.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to the 100BASE-FX Port Step 2 Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 connector on the 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 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
Chapter 2 Installation Connecting to an SFP Module Step 4 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 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
Chapter 2 Installation Where to Go Next 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. 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.
