4. Configurare și instalare

4.1 Despachetarea

Carefully remove the switch and all accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present:

• Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L Switch
• Cablu de alimentare
• Rack-mount kit (if included)
• Console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9)

4.2 Instalare fizică

The switch can be installed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

Plasare pe desktop:

Place the switch on a flat, stable surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the device.

Montare pe rack:

1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the provided screws.
2. Fixați comutatorul în rack-ul de echipamente folosind șuruburile de rack corespunzătoare.
3. Ensure proper airflow by leaving adequate space around the switch.

4.3 Conectarea puterii

Connect the provided power cord to the AC power connector on the rear of the switch and then to a grounded electrical outlet. The switch will power on automatically.

4.4 Conectarea cablurilor de rețea

Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, access points, IP phones) to the 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the front panel. For devices requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensure they are connected to PoE-enabled ports.

Use the uplink ports (SFP/SFP+) for connecting to other switches or routers, typically with fiber optic cables or copper transceivers.

4.5 Acces la configurația inițială

For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your computer's serial port to the console port on the switch. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with the following settings:

• Rata baud: 9600
• Biți de date: 8
• Paritate: Niciuna
• Biți de oprire: 1
• Controlul fluxului: Nici unul

Alternatively, if the switch has a pre-configured IP address and is accessible on the network, you can use SSH or a web-based management interface for configuration.

5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare

5.1 Pornire/Oprire

The switch powers on automatically when connected to a power source. To power off, disconnect the power cord. For controlled shutdown, use the appropriate command-line interface (CLI) commands if configured.

5.2 Indicatori LED

The front panel features various LED indicators to provide status information:

• LED de sistem: Indicates overall system status (e.g., green for normal operation, amber for fault).
• RPS LED: Indicates Redundant Power System status.
• LED-uri de stare portului: Located next to each Ethernet port, indicating link status, activity, and PoE status.
• Mode Button LEDs: Indicate the currently selected mode for port LEDs (e.g., Stat, Duplex, Speed, PoE).

Refer to the Cisco documentation for a detailed explanation of each LED state.

5.3 Basic Network Connectivity

Once powered on and configured, the switch will forward traffic between connected devices. Verify connectivity by checking port LEDs and testing network access from connected devices.

5.4 PoE Functionality

The 24-Port PoE switch provides power to compatible devices (e.g., IP phones, wireless access points) connected to its Ethernet ports. Ensure that the connected devices are PoE-compliant and that the switch has sufficient power budget.

6. Întreținere

6.1 Curățare

Keep the switch clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the device.

6.2 de actualizări de firmware

Verificați periodic sistemul Cisco website for firmware updates. Applying updates can improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities. Follow Cisco's official procedures for firmware upgrades.

6.3 Considerații de mediu

Ensure the switch operates within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Maintain proper ventilation to prevent overheating.

7. Depanare

Această secțiune oferă pașii de bază pentru depanarea problemelor comune.

• Fără putere:
  • Verificați dacă cablul de alimentare este conectat corect atât la întrerupător, cât și la priză.
  • Verificați priza cu un alt dispozitiv.
  • Asigurați-vă că sursa de alimentare funcționează corect.
• Fără conectivitate la rețea:
  • Check the port LED for the connected device. If off, reseat the cable or try a different port/cable.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and configured correctly.
  • Check switch configuration for port shutdown or VLAN issues.
• PoE nu funcționează:
  • Ensure the connected device is PoE-compliant.
  • Check the PoE status LED for the port.
  • Verify the switch's PoE power budget is not exceeded.
  • Check PoE configuration on the switch.

For advanced troubleshooting, consult the official Cisco documentation or contact Cisco technical support.
