The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet on which the first switch resides. See Table 9.

Maintaining the Switch

The Cisco MDS 9124e Switch does not require any regular physical maintenance. However, it is critical that environmental conditions, described in ”Environmental considerations” are met to help prevent switch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow.

Installing dust covers in empty ports

The dust covers included in the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch shipping carton, (see Figure 1) must be inserted in ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper airflow and helps reduce dust contamination of the switch.

Replacing an SFP transceiver

In some cases you might need to reinstall an SFP transceiver. To remove an SFP transceiver:

1.Press and hold the cable release.

2.Remove the cable from the transceiver.

3.Pull the bail (wire handle) to release the transceiver.

4.Grasp the bail, and gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port.

5.Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required.

To install a replacement SFP:

1.Make sure that the bail is in the unlocked position.

2.Orient the SFP with the appropriate port. See Figure 7 and Table 10.
