4. Einrichtung und Installation

4.1 Auspacken

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

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

4.2 Physische Installation

Der Switch kann auf einem Schreibtisch installiert oder in einem Standard-19-Zoll-Geräteschrank montiert werden.

Desktop-Platzierung:

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

Rackmontage:

1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the provided screws.
2. Befestigen Sie den Schalter mit geeigneten Rackschrauben im Geräteschrank.
3. Ensure proper airflow by leaving adequate space around the switch.

4.3 Stromversorgung anschließen

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 Netzwerkkabel anschließen

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 Zugriff auf die Erstkonfiguration

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:

• Baudrate: 9600
• Datenbits: 8
• Parität: Keine
• Stoppbits: 1
• Flusskontrolle: Keine

Alternatively, if the switch has a pre-configured IP address and is accessible on the network, you can use SSH or a web-basierte Verwaltungsschnittstelle zur Konfiguration.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1 Ein-/Ausschalten

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 LED-Anzeigen

Die Frontplatte verfügt über verschiedene LED-Anzeigen zur Statusinformation:

• System-LED: Indicates overall system status (e.g., green for normal operation, amber for fault).
• RPS LED: Indicates Redundant Power System status.
• Port-Status-LEDs: 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 Grundlegende Netzwerkverbindungen

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. Wartung

6.1 Reinigung

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 Firmware-Updates

Periodically check the 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 Umweltaspekte

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

7. Fehlerbehebung

Dieser Abschnitt bietet grundlegende Schritte zur Fehlerbehebung bei häufig auftretenden Problemen.

• Kein Strom:
  • Vergewissern Sie sich, dass das Netzkabel sowohl am Schalter als auch an der Steckdose fest angeschlossen ist.
  • Überprüfen Sie die Steckdose mit einem anderen Gerät.
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Stromversorgung ordnungsgemäß funktioniert.
• Keine Netzwerkverbindung:
  • Check the port LED for the connected device. If off, reseat the cable or try a different port/cable.
  • Vergewissern Sie sich, dass das angeschlossene Gerät eingeschaltet und korrekt konfiguriert ist.
  • Check switch configuration for port shutdown or VLAN issues.
• PoE funktioniert nicht:
  • 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.
