Features  
Management Interface Options  
The Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches are designed for  
plug-and-play operation: you only need to assign basic IP information to the  
switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have specific  
network needs, you can configure and monitor the switchon an individual basis  
or as part of a switch clusterthrough its various management interfaces.  
You can configure and monitor individual switches and switch clusters by using  
the following interfaces:  
Cluster Management Suite (CMS)CMS is a graphical user interface that  
can be launched from anywhere in your network through a web browser such  
as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. CMS is already  
installed on the switch, and no additional installation is required. Using CMS,  
you can fully configure and monitor a standalone switch, a specific cluster  
member, or an entire switch cluster. You can also display network topologies  
to gather link information, and display switch images to modify switch- and  
port-level settings.  
Command-line Interface (CLI)The switch CLI Cisco IOS software and is  
enhanced to support desktop-switching features. You can fully configure and  
monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI. You can access  
the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch  
console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station.  
Simple network management protocol (SNMP)SNMP provides a means to  
monitor and control the switch and switch cluster members. You can manage  
switch configuration settings, performance, security, and collect statistics by  
using SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN  
Management Suite (LMS) and HP OpenView.  
You can manage the switch from an SNMP-compatible management station  
that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The  
switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and four Remote  
Monitoring (RMON) groups.  
For more information about CMS, the CLI, and SNMP refer to the Catalyst  
2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.

10/100 Ports  
The 10/100 switch ports (see Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-4) can connect to any  
compatible network device up to 328 feet (100 meters) away:  
10BASE-T-compatible devices, such as workstations, Cisco IP Phones, and  
hubs through standard RJ-45 connectors and Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling  
100BASE-TX-compatible devices, such as high-speed workstations,  
Cisco IP Phones, servers, hubs, routers, and other switches through standard  
RJ-45 connectors and Category 5 cabling  
Note  
A Category 5 cable is required for 100BASE-TX traffic. A port operating at  
10BASE-T can use Category 3 and 4 cables.  
When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP  
Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through, twisted-pair cable. When  
connecting the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. Pinouts for  
the cables are described in Appendix B, Connectors and Cable  
Specifications.”  
The 10/100 switch ports can be explicitly set to operate in any combination of  
half duplex, full duplex, 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps. These ports also can be set for  
speed and duplex autonegotiation, compliant with IEEE 802.3u. When set for  
autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached  
device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports  
autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest  
line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached  
device supports it) and configures itself accordingly.

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
100BASE-FX Ports  
The 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 2900 XL switches provide protocol support for  
Cisco IP Phones and per-port priority override. Refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series  
XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide for more  
information about these features.  
Cisco IP Phonesconnected to the 10/100 portmust be connected to an AC  
power source. Unlike the 3524-PWR XL switch, the Catalyst 2900 XL switches  
do not provide inline power.  
For more info on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch, refer to the  
Catalyst 3500 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide.  
100BASE-FX Ports  
The 100BASE-FX ports use 10/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic  
cabling. The connection distances between the switch and the attached device can  
be as follows:  
If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for  
half-duplex operation, the connection can be up to 1352 feet (412 meters).  
If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for  
full-duplex operation, the connection can be over distances of up to 6562 feet  
(2 kilometers).  
Long-Reach Ethernet Ports  
The Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) ports (Figure 1-4) use one RJ-21 connector to  
connect up to 24 Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) devices  
though unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The link between the  
LRE switch port and each CPE device can reach speeds of up to 15 Mbps (full  
duplex) and distances of up to 4921 feet (1500 meters).  
The default mode for each LRE port is speed autonegotiation, half duplex  
operation. For information about configuring the LRE ports, refer to the Catalyst  
2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.  
For more information about the Cisco 575 LRE CPE, refer to the Cisco  
575 LRE CPE Hardware Installation Guide.

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
100BASE-FX Ports  
If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network (ISDN),  
use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port must be connected to the patch  
panel through a basic telephone service, also known as plain old telephone service  
(POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice  
(low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the switch and private branch  
exchange (PBX) switch or public-switched telephone network (PSTN)  
If the other telephone services are connected through a private branch exchange  
(PBX) switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice  
traffic to private telephone networks and the public system telephone network  
(PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter  
(PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS  
Splitter.  
If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required  
to directly connect to the PSTN. For more information about homologated POTS  
splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.  
Note  
If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not  
needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.  
Expansion Slots  
The expansion slots (see Figure 1-2) are for the Catalyst 2900 XL hot-swappable  
modules. Each module port is internally switched to other switch ports and is  
managed through the switch management interfaces.  
Table 1-1 lists the modules that the expansion slots support.

These modules automatically configure themselves when you insert them in  
expansion slots and tighten the thumb screws. A power-on self-test (POST)  
verifies that the module is working properly before it starts forwarding packets.  
Modules WS-X2914-XL and WS-X2922-XL support 2048 MAC addresses. If  
you install one of these modules in a 2924M XL or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch  
(both supporting 8192 MAC addresses), the module fails POST. You can start the  
module by restarting the switch with the module installed. After the restart, the  
switch address capacity is reduced to 2048 MAC addresses.  
See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL Modules Installation Guide and the  
Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules Installation and Configuration Guide for  
detailed information on expansion modules for Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.  
LEDs  
You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and its performance.  
Figure 1-5, Figure 1-6, and Figure 1-7 show the location of the LEDs and the  
Mode button that you use to select a port mode. Changing a port mode changes  
the information provided by each port LED.  
All of the LEDs described in this section except the utilization meter (UTL) are  
visible on the Cluster Management Suite (CMS) window and, if the switch is a  
cluster member, on the CMS Cluster Manager window. The Catalyst 2900 Series  
XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide describes how to  
use CMS to manage standalone or individual switches and how to use cluster  
management software to manage switch clusters].

Power Connectors  
You can provide power to the switch either through the internal power supply or  
through the Cisco RPS.  
Internal Power Supply Connector  
The internal power supply is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages  
between 100 and 240 VAC. If you plan to use the internal power supply, use the  
supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power  
outlet.  
Cisco RPS Connector  
Specific Cisco RPS models support specific Catalyst 2900 XL switches:  
Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600-AC-RPS)supports the Catalyst 2912 XL,  
2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2924MF XL, and 2924M XL switches  
Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1)supports the Catalyst  
2912 LRE XL and 2924 LRE XL switches

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Rear-Panel Description  
RPS Connector on the Catalyst 2912 XL, 2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2924MF XL, and 2924M XL Switches  
The Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600-AC-RPS) provides a quasi-redundant power  
source for four external devices that use up to 150W DC each. Use a one-to-one  
cable (one connector at each cable end) to connect four external devices to the  
four DC output power modules. The power source is quasi-redundant because  
there are two AC input power modules for the Cisco RPS and one DC output  
power module for each external device. The AC input to the Cisco RPS is fully  
redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.  
Warning  
Note  
Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS 600  
receptacle.  
Do not connect the switch power cord to an AC outlet if the switch is also  
connected to a powered-on RPS. The switches do not support the  
fully-redundant configuration described in the RPS documentation. The  
redundant-with-reboot configuration is not recommended.  
For more information on the Cisco RPS 600, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power  
System Hardware Installation Guide.  
RPS Connector on the Catalyst 2912 LRE and 2924 LRE XL Switches  
The RPS is a 300W redundant power system that can support six external network  
devices and provides power to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses  
when the power supply of a connected device fails and provides the necessary  
power to the failed device to prevent loss of network traffic. When the device  
internal power supply has been brought up or replaced, the RPS automatically  
stops powering the device.  
Warning  
Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the RPS 300  
receptacle.

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Rear-Panel Description  
Note  
The RPS can only power one switch at a time. If more than one switch fails at  
the same time, any subsequent switch is not supported by the RPS until the  
first switch failure is resolved.  
For more information on the Cisco RPS 300, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power  
System 300 Hardware Installation Guide.  
Console Port  
You can connect a switch to a PC through the switch console port and by using  
the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter. You need to provide a  
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect the switch console port to a  
terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that  
adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the  
Connecting to the Console Portsection on page 2-33.

Attaching the Optional Cable Guide  
We recommend attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the  
front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. If the switch  
is in a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack, use the supplied black screw as shown in  
Figure 2-12 to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket. The cable guide  
for the modular switches requires two screws.

Installing the Switch on a Wall  
To attach the switch to a wall, follow the procedures in this section:  
Attaching the brackets to the switch  
Attaching the switch to a wall  
Note  
To mount a Catalyst 2912 LRE XL or 2924 LRE XL switch on a  
wall, you need to obtain two special wall-mount brackets (Cisco part  
number wallmount-1ru=). To order these brackets, contact your  
Cisco sales representative.  
Attaching the Brackets to the Switch  
The bracket orientation and the screws you use depend on whether you are  
attaching the brackets for parallel or vertical wall-mounting. Use two of the  
supplied screws to attach each bracket, according to the following guidelines:  
For parallel wall-mounting, use the supplied Phillips truss-head screws to  
attach the short side of the bracket to the switch.  
For vertical wall-mounting, use the supplied Phillips flat-head screws to  
attach the long side of the bracket to the switch.  
Note  
The Catalyst 2912 LRE XL and 2924 LRE XL switches cannot be mounted  
vertically on a wall.  
Figure 2-13 and Figure 2-13 show how to attach the brackets to one side of the  
switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side of  
the switch.

After the switch is mounted on the wall, power the switch as described in  
Powering On the Switch and Running POSTsection on page 2-25.  
Powering On the Switch and Running POST  
To power on the switch after you install it, follow these steps:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch.  
Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.  
As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of eight tests that run  
automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. When the switch  
begins POST, the port LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and then they turn green.

Chapter 2 Installation  
Connecting to a 10/100 Port  
The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LED turns off. As each test runs, the  
port LEDs, starting with number 1, turn off. The port LEDs for ports 2 to 8 each  
turn off in turn as the system completes a test.  
When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs return to the status mode  
display, indicating that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port LED  
associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. If POST  
fails, refer to Chapter 3, Troubleshooting,to determine a course of action.  
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch  
does not pass POST.  
Connecting to a 10/100 Port  
The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached  
devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly  
set the speed and duplex parameters.  
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex  
parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage. To  
maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the 10/100  
Ethernet ports:  
Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.  
Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

Note  
The switch can connect to a Cisco IP Phone through a straight-through,  
twisted-pair cable. The rear panel of the Cisco IP Phone might have more than  
one RJ-45 jack. Use the LAN-to-phone jack to connect the phone to the  
switch. Refer to the documentation that came with your Cisco IP Phone for  
information about connecting devices to it.  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector of the switch 10/100 port.  
Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector of the other device.  
The switch port LED comes on when both the switch and the connected device  
have established link.

Chapter 2 Installation  
Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port  
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 come 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 4  
Step 5  
Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.  
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect to each 10/100 port.  
Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port  
Warning  
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of the  
100BASE-FX single-mode supervisor engine module. Avoid exposure and do  
not stare into open apertures.  
Warning  
Caution  
Avoid exposure to the laser beam.  
Do not remove the rubber plugs from the fiber-optic port or the rubber caps  
from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs  
and caps protect the fiber-optic port and cable from contamination and  
ambient light.  
You can connect the 100BASE-FX ports to other 100BASE-FX-compatible  
network devices, such as servers, routers, and other switches. These ports use a  
duplex SC connector, and you must provide the 50/125- or 62.5/125-micron  
multimode fiber-optic cable to connect these ports to other 100BASE-FX devices.  
The fiber-optic distances between the switch and the attached device follow.

Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port  
If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for  
half-duplex operation, the connection can be up to 412 meters.  
If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for  
full-duplex operation, the connection can be up to 2 kilometers.  
Note  
Speed and duplex-mode autonegotiation is not supported on the 100BASE-FX  
ports.  
To connect a switch 100BASE-FX port to another 100BASE-FX device, follow  
these steps:  
Step 1  
Step 2

Connecting to an LRE Port  
Step 5  
Step 6  
Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.  
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each 100BASE-FX port.  
Connecting to an LRE Port  
Depending on the switch model, you can connect the LRE port to either 12 or 24  
Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) devices through a patch  
panel. If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network  
(ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, you must connect the LRE to a plain  
old telephone service (POTS) splitter.  
Note  
If no other telephone services travel on the same wiring as LRE traffic, the  
LRE switch connects directly to a patch panel.  
Connecting the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter requires a  
male-to-male RJ-21 cable, category 3 or above.You can order RJ-21 cables from  
your cable vendor, or you can order these cables from your Cisco sales  
representative:  
CAB-5-M120M120-5 (Category 5 cable with 90-degree, male-to-male RJ-21  
connectors)  
CAB-5-M180120-5 (Category 5 cable with 120-degree, male-to-male RJ-21  
connectors)  
The screws you need to secure the cable to the switch are shipped with the cable.  
Contact your Cisco sales representative for more information.  
To connect the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter, follow these steps:  
Step 1  
Connect one end of a wiring trunk cable to the RJ-21 connector of the LRE port  
on the switch. (See Figure 2-19.)

Connecting to an LRE Port  
Step 2  
Referring to the following figure, secure the cable to the switch:  
For a 90-degree connector, see the top of Figure 2-19.  
For a 12-degree connector, see the bottom Figure 2-19.  
Note  
The cable tie is not included with the connector and cable assembly.  
Step 3  
Connect the other end of the cable to the patch panel or POTS splitter.  
Each LRE port status LED turns on when it establishes a link with a Cisco  
575 LRE CPE. For more information about the LRE link between the switch LRE  
port and the CPE, as well as information about the configuration and management  
of CPE devices, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL  
Software Configuration Guide.  
For more information about the Cisco 575 LRE CPE device, refer to the  
Cisco 575 LRE CPE Hardware Installation Guide.  
If telephone services, such as voice or ISDN, use the same cabling as LRE traffic,  
the LRE port must be connected to the patch panel through a basic telephone  
service, also known as plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter  
routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the  
telephone line to the switch and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or  
public-switched telephone network (PSTN).  
If the other telephone services are connected through a PBX switch, a  
Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private  
telephone networks and the public system telephone network (PSTN). For more  
information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the  
Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.  
If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required  
to directly connect to the PSTN. For more information about homologated POTS  
splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.  
Note  
If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not  
needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.

Modules Installation Guide and the Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules  
Installation and Configuration Guide.  
Connecting to the Console Port  
Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch  
console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you  
want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit  
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For  
console port and adapter pinout information, see the Cable and Adapter  
Specificationssection on page B-4.  
The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The  
terminal-emulation softwarefrequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal  
or Procomm Plusmakes communication between the switch and your PC or  
terminal possible during the setup program.  
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Configure your PC- or terminal-emulation software to communicate with the  
switch through hardware flow control.  
Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these  
switch console port default characteristics:  
9600 baud  
8 data bits  
1 stop bit  
No parity  
After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate back to its  
original setting. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL  
Software Configuration Guide for instructions.

Understanding POST Results  
Each time the switch is powered on, eight POSTs run automatically to check the  
most important system components before the switch begins forwarding packets.  
When the switch begins its POST, the port status LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds,  
and then they turn green. As each test runs, the port status LEDs turn off, starting  
with number 1x. The port status LEDs for ports 2x to 8x each turn off in turn as  
the system completes a test.  
When the POST completes successfully, the port status LEDs go off, indicating  
that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port status LED associated with  
the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. Table 3-1 lists the eight  
POST tests and their associated LEDs.  
Note  
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not  
pass POST.

Correcting Module POST Failures  
If you install modules WS-X2914-XL or WS-X2922-XL in a Catalyst 2924M XL  
or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch, the module fails POST. This failure occurs  
because the expansion modules support 2048 MAC addresses and the switch  
supports 8192 MAC addresses. To correct the failure, restart the switch with the  
module installed. After the restart, the address capacity of the switch is reduced  
to 2048 MAC addresses.  
Diagnosing Problems  
Common switch problems fall into the following categories:  
Poor performance  
No connectivity  
Corrupted software  
Table 3-2 describes how to detect and resolve these problems.

Connectors and Cable Specifications  
This appendix describes the Catalyst 2900 XL switch ports and the cables and  
adapters that you use to connect the switch to other devices.  
Connector Specifications  
10/100 Ports  
The 10/100 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts  
with internal crossovers, as shown by an X in the port name. These ports have  
their transmit (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a  
straight-through cable and an adapter can be attached to the port. Figure B-1  
shows the pinouts.

When connecting the 10/100 ports to compatible workstations, servers, routers,  
and Cisco IP Phones, you must use a straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T  
and 100BASE-TX. (Figure B-4 shows the straight-through cable schematics.)  
When connecting to other switches or repeaters, you must use a crossover cable.  
(Figure B-5 shows the crossover cable schematics.)  
Note  
Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports when one of the ports is  
designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both  
connectors and cables are designated with an X or when both ports do not have  
an X.  
100BASE-FX Ports  
100BASE-FX ports use duplex SC connectors, as shown in Figure B-2. These  
ports use 10/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic cabling.

Identifying a Rollover Cable  
You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable.  
Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to  
the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire  
connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure B-6).
