Cisco Unmanaged Rackmount Switches
5
Connecting Network Devices
The application diagram is an example of a typical network configuration.
To connect the unmanaged rackmount switch to the network:
S
TEP
1
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,
printer, network storage, or other network device.
S
TEP
2
Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the
numbered unmanaged rackmount switch Ethernet ports.
The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active.
N
OTE
If the uplink from one unmanaged, cascaded switch to another is
moved from one port to another port, it can take up to one minute
for full network operation to resume. This is normal and expected
behavior.
S
TEP
3
Repeat
Step 1
and
Step 2
for each device you want to connect to
the unmanaged rackmount switch.
N
OTE
To prioritize voice or video traffic by using the QoS feature on the
switch, set flow control to
off
in the configurations of the
connected devices. Otherwise, flow control might send a pause
