Product Overview

This section describes the Cisco IE 2000U Industrial Ethernet Switch (IE 2000U), hereafter referred to as the switch. The switch provides a Gigabit Ethernet aggregation and small form factor switch for the substation automation family of Connected Grid switches. It is suitable for Connected Energy applications such as grid automation, distributed generation, integrated renewable energy, trackside substations, and water applications.

You can connect these switches to devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. In connected grid environments, you can connect any Ethernet-enabled industrial communication devices, including field area routers (FARs), connected grid routers (CGRs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), drives, sensors, video devices, traffic signal controllers, and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs).

You can mount the switch on a DIN rail in an industrial enclosure. Its components are designed to withstand extremes in temperature, vibration, and shock that are common in an industrial environment.

The Cisco IE 2000U Industrial Ethernet switch has six models, which are grouped according to five different port configurations. The IE 2000U-16TC-G-X model is the only model available with a conformal coating (Humiseal AR/UR UV40).

10/100BASE-T Ports

You can set the 10/100BASE-T ports to operate at 10 or 100 Mb/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can also set these ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation in compliance with IEEE 802.3ab. (The default setting is autonegotiate.) 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. In all cases, the attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters). 100BASE-TX traffic requires CAT5 cables or better. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 cables or better.

When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, make sure that the cable is a straight-through cable.

You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the command-line interface (CLI) to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly.

Power over Ethernet Ports

On the IE 2000U-16TC-GP model of the IE 2000U switch, four of the 10/100BASE-T ports are available as PoE ports. The four ports can operate either as PoE (IEEE 802.3af) ports or can be configured to operate as PoE+ (IEEE 802.at) ports. In order to operate 10/100 ports as PoE ports, a separate DC power source is required. For more information, see Connecting Power to the Switch PoE DC-Input (Optional).

Cable lengths of up to 328 feet (100 m) are supported.

10/100/1000BASE-T Ports

The IEEE 802.3u 10/100/1000BASE-T ports provide full-duplex 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over CAT5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cabling. The default setting is autonegotiate.

Cable lengths of up to 328 feet (100 m) are supported.

100 Mb/s SFP Module Slots

The IEEE 802.3u 100 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 Mb/s connectivity over multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic transceiver module that accepts a dual local connector (LC). Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and length.

100/1000 Mb/s SFP Module Slots

The IEEE 802.3u 100/1000 Mb/s SFP module slots provide full-duplex 100 or 1000 Mb/s connectivity over multi-mode (MM) fiber cables or single-mode (SM) fiber cables. These ports use a SFP fiber-optic transceiver module that accepts a dual LC connector. Check the SFP specifications for the cable type and length.

Dual-Purpose Fast Ethernet Ports

You can configure the dual-purpose Fast Ethernet ports on the switch as either 10/100BASE-T ports or as 100 Mb/s SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100BASE-T ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10 or 100 Mb/s (Fast) Ethernet ports.

By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port.

You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the Cisco Connected Grid Switches Interfaces Software Configuration Guide.

Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Ports

You can configure the dual-purpose Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch as either 10/1001000BASE-T ports or as 100/1000 Mb/s SFP-module ports. You can set the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.

By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP). When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP-module port has priority, but you can use the media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP port.

You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information on configuring interfaces, see the Cisco Connected Grid Switches Interfaces Software Configuration Guide.

SFP Modules

The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces. The modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections. You can use any combination of the supported SFP modules listed in Table 2.

For information about SFP modules, see your SFP module documentation and the Installing SFP Modules into SFP Module Slots. For cable specifications, see SFP Module Cables.

Power Connectors

You connect the DC power to the switch through the front panel connectors. The switch has a dual-feed DC power supply; two connectors provide primary and secondary DC power (DC-A and DC-B). The DC power connectors are near the top right of the front panel. See Figure 1. Each power connector has an LED status indicator.

The switch power connectors are attached to the switch chassis. Each power connector has screw terminals for terminating the DC power (see Figure 7). All connectors are attached to the switch front panel with the provided captive screws.

The power connector labeling is on the panel. The positive DC power connection is labeled “+”, and the return connection is labeled “–”.

Figure 7 Power Connector

The switch can operate with a single power source or with dual power sources. When both power sources are operational, the switch draws power from the DC source with the higher voltage. If one of the two power sources fails, the other continues to power the switch.

In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to separate independent power sources. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.

The switch can be powered from a site source or a 50 Watt AC-input power supply module (part number PWR-IE50W-AC=). For more information on wiring the DC power source, see Wiring the DC Power Source. For information on power consumption, see Table 16 in the Technical Specifications chapter.

PoE Power Connector

The IE 2000U switch model with PoE capability (IE 2000U-16TC-GP) is equipped with an additional DC input terminal block. This DC terminal block allows the connection of a power supply, either the PWR-IE65W-PC-AC= or PWR-IE170W- PC-AC= AC Input power supply or the PWR-IE65W-PC-DC= or PWR-IE170W- PC-DC= DC Input power supply, or an input from site source DC that is used to provide dedicated external power to operate the PoE or PoE+ ports. The PoE terminal block accepts 48 VDC or 54 VDC at 2.5 A.

Alarm Connector

You connect the alarm signals to the switch through the alarm connector. The switch supports two alarm inputs and one alarm output relay. The alarm connector is on the bottom right of the front panel. See Figure 1.

The alarm connector provides six alarm wire connections. The connector is attached to the switch front panel with the provided captive screws.

Figure 8 Alarm Connector

Both alarm input circuits can sense if the alarm input is open or closed. The alarm inputs can be activated for environmental, power supply, and port status alarm conditions. From the CLI, you can configure each alarm input as an open or closed contact.

The alarm output circuit is a relay with a normally open and a normally closed contact. The switch is configured to detect faults that are used to energize the relay coil and change the state on both of the relay contacts: normally open contacts close, and normally closed contacts open. The alarm output relay can be used to control an external alarm device, such as a bell or a light.

See the Cisco Connected Grid Switches System Management Software Configuration Guide for instructions on configuring the alarm relays.

For more information about the alarm connector, see Cable and Connectors

Management Ports

You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either the RJ-45 console port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console port. These ports use the following connectors:

n RJ-45 console port uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

n USB-mini console port (5-pin connector) uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin mini-Type B cable.

The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.

To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that is connected to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.

Note: For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver.

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux requires no special drivers.

Note: The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors, but they are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 9.

Figure 9 USB Mini-Type B Port

The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB-mini console port is activated, but no input activity occurs for a specified time period. When the USB-mini console port deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB-mini console interface, see the Cisco Connected Grid Switches Interfaces Software Configuration Guide.

LEDs

You can use the LEDs to monitor the switch status, activity, and performance. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the front panel LEDs.

Power Status LEDs

The switch can operate with one or two DC power sources. Each DC input has an associated LED that shows the status of the corresponding DC input. If power is present on the circuit, the LED is green. If power is not present, the LED color depends on the alarm configuration. If alarms are configured, the LED is red when power is not present; otherwise, the LED is off.

If the switch has dual power sources, the switch draws power from the power source with the higher voltage. If one of the DC sources fails, the alternate DC source powers the switch, and the corresponding power status LED is green. The power status for the failed DC source is either off or red, depending on the alarm configuration.

Table 7 lists the power status LED colors and meanings.

Note: If you use site source DC to power the PoE ports, you can operate all four ports either as PoE or as PoE+. Make sure that the site power has 2.5A at 54 VDC to power four PoE+ port. When using PWR-IE170W modules, PoE port can power either 4 PoE or PoE+ ports. When using PWR-IE65W modules, PoE port can power 4 PoE or two PoE+ ports.

To install the PoE power supply module, complete the steps in the Installing the DC Power Supply Module on a DIN Rail.

Note: You can order these IE 2000U PoE power supply modules from your Cisco sales representative:

n PWR-IE65W-PC-DC=, PoE 65-W DC-input power supply module

n PWR-IE65W-PC-AC=, PoE 65-W DC- or AC-input power supply module

n PWR-IE170W-PC-DC=, PoE 170-W DC-input power supply module

n PWR-IE170W-PC-AC=, PoE 170-W DC- or AC-input power supply module

Note: The input rating is 48/54VDC 2.5A.

Caution: To prevent the switch from overheating, ensure these minimum clearances:

n Top and bottom: 2.0 inches (50.8 mm)

n Exposed side (not connected to the module): 2.0 inches (50.8 mm)

n Front: 2.0 inches (50.8 mm)

Contact your Cisco TAC if tighter spacings are required.

To attach source DC to the PoE DC-input connector:

1. Verify that power is off to the DC circuit that you are going to attach to the switch PoE DC-input connector.

This can be either of the two power supplies (AC-input or DC-input) or site source DC.

As an added precaution, place the appropriate safety flag and lockout devices at the source power circuit breaker, or place a piece of adhesive tape over the circuit breaker handle to prevent accidental power restoration while you are working on the circuit.

2. Locate the PoE DC-input power connector, which is labeled PoE, on the switch front panel.

3. Loosen the power connector’s two screws and remove the plug portion of the connector from the switch.

4. Measure two strands of twisted-pair copper wire (16- to18-AWG size stranded copper wire that is an appropriate type, wire size, and color-code for your country) long enough to connect the switch to the DC power source.

5. Using a wire-stripping tool, strip each of the two twisted-pair wires coming from each DC-input power source to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm).

Note: Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the power connector after installation.

6. Loosen the two captive screws on the PoE power plug and insert the exposed part of the positive wire into the connection labeled “+” and the exposed part of the return wire into the connection labeled “–”. See Figure 33 below.

Ensure that you cannot see any wire lead. Ensure that only wire with insulation extends from the connector.

Warning: An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the connector(s) or terminal block(s). Statement 122

Running Boot Fast

When the switch powers on, it automatically initiates a boot fast sequence. The boot fast sequence allows the switch to boot up in less than 60 seconds. To test the switch, follow the steps in these sections:

n Powering On the Switch

n Verifying Boot Fast

n Disconnecting Power

Powering On the Switch

To apply power to a switch that is directly connected to a DC power source, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, and switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.

Verifying Boot Fast

When you power on the switch, it automatically begins a boot fast sequence. The System LED blinks green as the Cisco IOS software image loads. If the boot fast sequence fails, the System LED turns red.

Note: Boot fast failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco TAC immediately if your switch does not complete boot fast successfully.

Note: You can disable boot fast and run POST by using the Cisco IOS CLI. See the Cisco Connected Grid Switches System Management Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Master Command List, All Releases for more information.

Disconnecting Power

To disconnect power after successfully running boot fast:

1. Turn off power to the switch.

2. Disconnect the cables.

Connecting Alarm Circuits

After the switch is installed and DC power is wired, you are ready to connect the alarm connections.

Wiring the External Alarms

The switch has two alarm input and one alarm output relay circuits for external alarms. The alarm input circuits are designed to sense if the alarm input is open or closed relative to the alarm input reference pin. Each alarm input can be configured as an open or closed contact. The alarm output relay circuit has a normally open and a normally closed contact.

Alarm signals are connected to the switch through the six-pin alarm connector. Three connections are dedicated to the two alarm input circuits: alarm input 1, alarm input 2, and a reference ground. An alarm input and the reference ground wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm input circuit. The three remaining connections are for the alarm output circuit: a normally open output, a normally closed output, and a common signal. An alarm output and the common wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm output circuit.

The labels for the alarm connector are on the switch panel and are displayed in Table 13.

Warning: Explosion Hazard—Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1081

Caution: The input voltage source of the alarm output relay circuit must be an isolated source and limited to less than or equal to 24 VDC, 1.0 A or 48 VDC, 0.5 A.

Note: Wire connections to the alarm connector must be 16- to 20-AWG, UL- and CSA-rated, style 1007 or 1569 twisted-pair copper appliance wiring material (AWM) wire.

To wire the switch to an external alarm device:

1. Remove the captive screws that hold the alarm connector on the switch, and remove the connector from the switch chassis. See Figure 36.

Figure 36 Removing the Alarm Connector

Alarm connector

2. Measure two strands of twisted-pair wire (16-to-20 AWG) long enough to connect to the external alarm device.

Choose between setting up an external alarm input or output circuit.

3. Use a wire stripper to remove the casing from both ends of each wire to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm).

Note: Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wires. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the alarm connector after installation.

4. Insert the exposed wires for the external alarm device into the connections based on an alarm input or output circuit setup (see Table 13).

For example, to wire an alarm input circuit, complete the IN1 and REF connections (see Figure 37).

Figure 37 Inserting Wires into the Alarm Connector (Alarm Input Circuit)

REF - External device connection 2

5. Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the alarm connector captive screw (above the installed wire leads) to 2 in-lb (0.23 N-m) torque. See Figure 38 for details.

Note: Do not over-torque the captive screws of the alarm connectors. Do not exceed 2 in-lb (0.23 N-m) torque.

Figure 38 Torquing the Alarm Connector Captive Screws

6. Repeat the above steps to insert the input and output wires of one additional external alarm device into the alarm connector.

Figure 39 shows the completed wiring for two external alarm devices. The first alarm device circuit is wired as an alarm input circuit; the IN1 and REF connections complete the circuit. The second alarm device circuit is wired as an alarm output circuit that works on a normally open contact basis; the NO and COM connections complete the circuit.

Attaching the Alarm Connector to the Switch

Warning: Failure to securely tighten the captive screws can result in an electrical arc if the connector is accidentally removed. Statement 397

Warning: When you connect or disconnect the power and/or alarm connector with power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that all power is removed from the switch and any other circuits. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1058

To attach the alarm connector to the front panel of the switch:

1. Insert the alarm connector into the receptacle on the switch front panel. See Figure 40.

n Installing and Removing SFP Modules

n Connecting to SFP Modules

n Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

n Where to Go Next

Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

The switch 10/100/1000 ports automatically 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 Ethernet ports:

n Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

n Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

The PoE-capable IE 2000U-16TC-GP model provides up to four ports of either PoE (15.4 W per port; IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (30 W per port; IEEE 802.3at). In order to utilize the PoE capability, you must attach a site source DC or power supply module to the PoE power connector on the switch faceplate. For more information about the PoE power connector, see Connecting Power to the Switch PoE DC-Input (Optional).

Warning: Do not connect or disconnect cables to the ports while power is applied to the switch or any device on the network because an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed from the switch and cannot be accidentally be turned on, or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1070

Caution: To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

To connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices:

1. When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. See Figure 41.

When connecting to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher grade cable.

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco Connected Grid Switches Interfaces Software Configuration Guide or go to the Cisco IOS 15.2M&T command references, at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/prod_command_reference_list.html

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device.

The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device establish a link.

The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

If the port LED does not turn on:

— Check that the device at the other end is turned on.

— Check the cable and adapter. There might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed on the attached device. See Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

3. Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the switch. These field-replaceable modules provide the optical interfaces, send (TX) and receive (RX).

You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. See the Release Notes for the Cisco IE 2000U Switches at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs for the list of supported modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See Table 19 for cable stipulations for SFP module connections.

Caution: When you use commercial SFP modules such as CWDM and 1000BX-U/D, reduce the maximum operating temperature by 59°F (15°C). The minimum operating temperature is 32°F (0°C).

Warning: Do not insert and remove SFP modules while power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1087

Installing SFP Modules into SFP Module Slots

Figure 42 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.

Caution: Do not install or remove the SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module. Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Figure 42 SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch

Installing Fiber-Optic SFP Modules

To insert a fiber-optic SFP module into the SFP module slot:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

2. Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the correct side of the SFP module.

On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).

3. Align the SFP module sideways in front of the slot opening.

4. Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot (Figure 43).

Figure 43 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot

5. Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports and store them for later use.

Caution: Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

6. Insert the LC cable connector into the SFP module.

Installing 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

The 1000BASE-T (copper) SFP transceiver, see Figure 44, has a bale-clasp locking mechanism that secures the transceiver in the module socket. An RJ-45 connector provides the transceiver's interface point to the network.

Figure 44 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver

1

RJ-45 connector

3

Bale-clasp latching mechanism in the open (unlocked) position.

2

Bale-clasp latching mechanism in the closed (locked) position.

Caution: To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair, CAT5 cabling.

Note: When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair, straight-through CAT5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover CAT5 cabling.

To install a 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector on the chassis or to a properly grounded bare metal surface.

Caution: To avoid ESD damage, handle the SFP by its sides; do not touch the connector pins.

2. Remove the new 1000BASE-T SFP module from its protective packaging.

3. Check the markings on the SFP transceiver to verify that you have the correct model for your network.

4. Position the SFP transceiver in front of the port socket opening.

Note: Different Cisco devices have different SFP transceiver socket configurations. Your Cisco device might require that the SFP transceiver be installed with the bale-clasp either in a latch-up or a latch-down orientation. Figure 45, left view, shows the SFP installed in a latch-up orientation where the bale-clasp latching mechanism pivots up to the closed (locked) position. Figure 45, right view shows the SFP installed in a latch-down orientation where the bale-clasp latching mechanism pivots down to the closed (locked) position. Verify that you have the SFP transceiver oriented correctly when you position it in front of the port socket.

Figure 45 SFP Transceiver Socket Orientation

5. With the bale-clasp closed (locked), slide the SFP transceiver into the socket until you feel it snap in place in the socket.

You may hear an audible click as the SFP transceiver latch engages in the socket (Figure 43).

6. Connect the network interface cable RJ-45 plug to the SFP RJ-45 connector.

7. Observe the port status LED:

— Green indicates that the SFP transceiver and the target device established a link.

— Amber indicates that the port is discovering the network topology and searching for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.

— Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. Refer to Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots

To remove an SFP module from a module receptacle:

1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a grounded bare metal surface.

2. Disconnect the LC from the SFP module.

3. Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.

4. Unlock and remove the SFP module.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch. See Figure 46.

5. Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.

6. Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

Connecting to SFP Modules

This section describes how to connect to a fiber-optic SFP port. To connect to an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port instead of a fiber-optic port, see the Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port.

For instructions on how to install or remove an SFP module, see the Installing and Removing SFP Modules.

Warning: Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Warning: Do not connect or disconnect cables to the ports while power is applied to the switch or any device on the network because an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed from the switch and cannot be accidentally be turned on, or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1070

Caution: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling guidelines in the Preparing for Installation. See Cable and Connectors for information about the LC on the SFP module.

To connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP module:

1. Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.

2. Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port. See Figure 47.

Figure 47 Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module Port

3. Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device.

4. Observe the port status LED:

— Green indicates that the switch and the target device established a link.

— Amber indicates that the STP is discovering the network topology and is searching for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.

— Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

5. If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or the target device.

Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

The dual-purpose port is a single port with two interfaces, one for an RJ-45 cable and another for an SFP module. Only one interface can be active at a time. If both interfaces are connected, the SFP module has priority. For more information about dual-purpose ports, see the Power Connectors.

Warning: Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008

Caution: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light. Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling guidelines in the Preparing for Installation. See Cable and Connectors for information about the LC on the SFP module.

To connect to a dual-purpose port:

1. Connect an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable to the SFP module port. See Figure 48.

For more information about RJ-45 connections, SFP modules, and optical connections, see the Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports, the Installing and Removing SFP Modules, and the Connecting to SFP Modules.

Figure 48 Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

2

RJ-45 connector

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the other device.

By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose port and configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize only an RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media type interface configuration command. For more information, see the Cisco IOS 15.2M&T command references, at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/prod_command_reference_list.html

Where to Go Next

If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:

n Start Cisco Configuration Professional, which is a PC-based application that provides device management for switches and routers. It simplifies configuration of features through easy-to-use wizards.

n Use the CLI to configure the switch as an individual switch from the console. See the Cisco IOS Master Command List, All Releases on Cisco.com for information about using the CLI at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/products_product_indices_list.html

n Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.

Troubleshooting

This section provides these topics for troubleshooting problems:

n Diagnosing Problems

n How to Recover Passwords

n Finding the Switch Serial Number

Diagnosing Problems

The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show boot fast failures, port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the CLI or an SNMP workstation. See the Cisco Connected Grid Switches System Management Software Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for details. For command information, go to the Cisco IOS 15.2M&T command references at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/prod_command_reference_list.html

Switch Boot Fast

See the Verifying Switch Operation for information on boot fast.

Note: Boot fast failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco TAC representative if your switch does not successfully complete boot fast.

Note: You can disable boot fast and run POST by using the Cisco IOS CLI. See the Cisco Connected Grid Switches System Management Software Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs and the Cisco IOS 15.2M&T command references at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/prod_command_reference_list.html.

Switch LEDs

Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See the LEDs for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Switch Connections

Bad or Damaged Cable

Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors. You can identify this problem because the port has many packet errors or it constantly flaps (loses and regains link).

n Exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known good cable.

n Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

n Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media converters between the source and the destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media converters (fiber-optic-to-copper).

n Try the cable in another port to see if the problem follows the cable.

Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

Ensure that you have the correct cable:

n For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections.

n Verify that you have the correct fiber-optic cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the connected device ports match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.

n Determine if a copper crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse. Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable. See Table 11 for recommended Ethernet cables.

Link Status

Verify that both sides have a link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show a link even though the other side does not have a link.

A port LED that is on does not guarantee that the cable is functional. It might have encountered physical stress, causing it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:

n Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.

n Ensure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.

n Verify that both devices have power.

n Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See Cables and Adapters for information.

n Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable, and then reconnect it.

10/100 and 10/100/1000 Port Connections

If a port appears to malfunction:

n Verify the status of all ports. See Table 8 for descriptions of the LEDs and their meanings.

n Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down. Reenable the port if necessary.

n Verify the cable type. See Cable and Connectors

SFP Module

Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding verifies that the module meets the requirements for the switch.

n Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module.

n Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs list the SFP modules that the switch supports.)

n Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down. Reenable the port if needed.

n Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.

Interface Settings

Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either side of the link, it does not come up until you reenable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the connection. If needed, reenable the interface.

Ping End Device

Ping from the directly connected switch first, and then work your way back port by port, interface by interface, trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch can identify the end device MAC address in its Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.

Spanning Tree Loops

STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.

A unidirectional link can cause loops. It occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by the neighbor, but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken cable, other cabling problems, or a port issue can cause this one-way communication.

You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link problems. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the Cisco Layer 2 Switching Software Configuration Guide for Cisco IE 2000U and the documentation for Cisco Connected Grid Switches on Cisco.com.

Switch Performance

Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation

Port statistics that show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions errors, might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.

A common issue occurs when duplex and speed settings are mismatched between two switches, between a switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when manually setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.

To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the duplex or the speed settings:

n Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

n Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the interfaces on both ends of the connection.

n If a remote device does not autonegotiate, use the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Autonegotiation and Network Interface Cards

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By default, the switch ports and interfaces autonegotiate. Laptops or other devices are commonly set to autonegotiate, yet sometimes issues occur.

To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does not solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on the NIC. You can resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.

Cabling Distance

If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable distance from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines. See the Cables and Adapters.

Resetting the Switch

These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch to the factory default settings:

n You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP address.

n You want to reset the password on the switch.

Note: Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

Caution: If you press the Express Setup button when you power on, the automatic boot sequence stops, and the switch enters bootloader mode.

To reset the switch:

1. Power up the switch and wait a couple of minutes for it to boot up completely.

2. Press and hold the Express Setup button for about 10 seconds.

The configuration is reset and the system reboots.

The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.

How to Recover Passwords

Password recovery is a feature that a system administrator can enable or disable. If password recovery is disabled, the only way to recover from a lost or forgotten password is to clear the switch configuration entirely.

Cisco Connected Grid Switches Security Software Configuration Guide provides details about disabling the password recovery feature. Cisco IOS Basics and File Management for Connected Grid Switches provides information about the procedure for recovering passwords.

Finding the Switch Serial Number

If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you need to know the serial number of your switch. The serial number is on the compliance label on the right-hand side of the switch. See Figure 49. You can also use the show version privileged EXEC command to obtain the switch serial number.

Figure 53 10/100/1000 Port Pinouts

Console Port

The switch has two console ports: a USB 5-pin mini-Type B port on the front panel (see Figure 54) and an RJ-45 console port on the rear panel.

Figure 54 USB Mini-Type B Port

The USB console port uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable, shown in Figure 55. The USB Type A-to-USB mini-Type B cable is not supplied. You can order an accessory kit (part number 800-33434) that contains this cable.

Figure 55 USB Type A-to-USB 5-Pin Mini-Type B Cable

The RJ-45 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. (See Table 21 and Table 22.) The supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable is used to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide an 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. For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table 21 and Table 22.

SFP Module Cables

Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the allowable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, CAT5 (or greater) cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Notes

n The maximum operating temperature of the switch varies depending on SFP module type. See Table 2 for supported temperature ranges.

n Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber (MMF).

n A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.

n 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules connected with MMF over a short link distance require a mode-conditioning patch cord.

Ordinary patch cords can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). Using the 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber (MMF) requires a mode-conditioning patch cord between the single mode fiber (SMF) SFP module and the MMF cable on both the send and receive link ends.

n Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m) require a mode-conditioning patch cord.

n 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF. The distance depends on fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.

n Fiber-optic cable spans less than 15.43 miles (25 km) require a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module.
