Connecting the switch to the network
Before you connect the switch to the network, verify that all its basic settings are correct.
Connecting your switch to the network through twisted pair
cables
You can use category-5 or above twisted pair cables to the 10/100Base-TX and 1000Base-T ports on
your switch to the network. These ports use RJ-45 connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. For
more information about twisted pair cables, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect your switch to the network through twisted pair cables:
1.
Plug one end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of your switch.
2.
Plug the other end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the access device in the
network.
3.
Examine the port LEDs for incorrect connection.
For more information about the LED status, see "Appendix C LEDs."
Connecting your switch to the network through optical fibers
WARNING!
To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the optical interfaces and optical fiber connectors when
connecting optical fibers.
