Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports
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 link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the
topology and searches for loops. This takes about 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, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the
adapter installed in the attached device. See
Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,”
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.
