Cabling the Switch
Observe the following guidelines when connecting twisted-pair and fiber-
optic cables to the ports on the switch:

The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the
switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into
place.

Because the twisted-pair ports have auto-MDI/MDI-X, you may use
straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect any type of network
device to the switch.

If your network topology contains a loop where two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more than
one network path, do not connect the network cables that form the
loop until after you activate a spanning tree protocol on the switch.
Data loops can adversely affect network performance.

If you are creating a port trunk, do not connect the cables of the
trunk to the switch until after you have created the trunk in the
switch’s management software and the management software of
the switch at the other end of the trunk cables. Otherwise, a
network loop will result which can adversely affect network
performance.
