2. Configuració i instal·lació
2.1 Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully unpack the switch and verify that all components are present and undamaged. Retain the packaging materials for future use or if the unit needs to be transported.
- Cisco Catalyst 3560-48PS-E Switch
- Cable d'alimentació de CA
- Kit de muntatge en bastidor (si s'inclou)
- Cable de la consola
- Documentació (aquest manual)
2.2 Preparació del lloc
Assegureu-vos que el lloc d'instal·lació compleixi els requisits següents:
- Temperatura: Operating temperature range is typically 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
- Humitat: Relative humidity should be between 10% and 85% (non-condensing).
- Ventilació: Ensure adequate airflow around the switch. Do not block ventilation openings.
- Potència: A grounded AC outlet with appropriate voltage (240 Volts) is required.
- Estabilitat: Place the switch on a stable, level surface or install it in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
2.3 Muntatge en bastidor (opcional)
If rack mounting, attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the screws supplied with the kit. Secure the switch into the rack using appropriate rack screws.
2.4 Connexió de potència
- Connect the AC power cord to the power connector on the rear panel of the switch.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.
- The switch will begin its power-on self-test (POST) sequence. Observe the system LED for status.
2.5 Connexió de dispositius de xarxa
Connect network devices (e.g., computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the 48 10/100BASE-TX PoE ports using standard Ethernet cables. For uplink connections or high-speed devices, use the 4 SFP-based Gigabit ports with appropriate SFP transceivers and fiber optic or copper cables.
3. Instruccions de funcionament
3.1 Engegada i arrencada inicial
Once connected to power, the switch automatically powers on. The System LED will indicate the boot status. A solid green System LED indicates successful boot-up and normal operation.
3.2 Indicadors LED
Monitor the front panel LEDs to understand the switch's status:
- LED del sistema: Indicates overall system health. Green (normal), Amber (fault).
- RPS LED: Redundant Power System status.
- LED d'estat del port: Indiqueu l'estat de l'enllaç, l'activitat i l'estat del PoE per a cada port.
- Botó de mode: Cycles through port status, port duplex, port speed, and PoE mode.
3.3 Accés a la configuració bàsica
The switch can be configured via a console port, Telnet, SSH, or a web-based interface (if enabled). For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your computer's serial port to the switch's console port.
- Console Port Settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
- Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for detailed configuration procedures.
3.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Operation
The 48 Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE, providing power to connected PoE-compatible devices such as IP phones and wireless access points. The switch automatically detects and powers PoE devices. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the switch's PoE budget.
4. Manteniment
4.1 Atenció general
Keep the switch in a clean, dust-free environment. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings.
4.2 actualitzacions de microprogramari
Periodically check the Cisco website for the latest firmware updates. Applying updates can improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities. Follow Cisco's official documentation for firmware upgrade procedures.
4.3 Neteja
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure the switch is powered off and disconnected from the power source before cleaning.
5. Solució De Problemes
Aquesta secció proporciona els passos bàsics per a la resolució de problemes comuns.
5.1 Problemes d'energia
- Sense energia:
- Verify the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and the AC outlet.
- Comproveu la presa de corrent amb un altre dispositiu per assegurar-vos que funciona.
- Assegureu-vos que el volum correctetage (240 Volts) is supplied.
- System LED is Amber: Indicates a system fault. Consult the Cisco documentation for specific error codes or contact Cisco support.
5.2 Problemes de connectivitat de xarxa
- Sense enllaç al port:
- Comproveu la connexió del cable Ethernet als dos extrems.
- Prova un cable o port diferent.
