By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved
on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both
media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the
media-type
interface configuration command to manually
designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port.
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring
interfaces, see the switch software configuration guide.
Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports
You can configure the dual-purpose Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on the switch as either 10/1001000BASE-T ports or
as 100/1000 Mb/s SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure
them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.

Power over Ethernet Ports
On certain models of the IE 2000 switch, four of the 10/100BASE-T ports are available as PoE ports. The four ports can
operate as PoE (IEEE 802.3af) ports or can be configured to operate as PoE+ (IE 802.at) ports. Each PoE port requires
15.4 Watts of power while PoE+ requires 30 Watts. A 54VDC /1.2Amp power source (65W) can support 4 PoE ports or
2 PoE+ ports.
Cable lengths of up to 328 ft (100 m) are supported.
Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either the RJ-45 console
port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console port. These ports use the following
connectors:
RJ-45 console port uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.
USB-mini console port (5-pin connector) uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin mini-Type B cable.
The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that is connected
to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
Note:
For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the
Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows
XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8, and 10 USB Device Driver, page 99
.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the console port does not
affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special drivers.
Note:
The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors, but they are not compatible. Use
only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See
