Chapter 3 Switch Installation (8-Port Switches)

Installing the Switch

Step 2 Remove the four rubber feet from the adhesive strip, and attach them to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit. This prevents the switch from sliding on the desk or shelf.

Note We strongly recommend that you attach the rubber feet. Doing so helps prevent airflow restriction and overheating.

Step 3 Place the switch on the desk or shelf.

Note We strongly recommend that you allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings to prevent airflow restriction and overheating.

Do not stack switches or place switches side-by-side unless they are separated on all sides by at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance from each other.

Do not place any items on the top of the switch.

After the switch is mounted on the desk or shelf, do these tasks to complete the installation:

1.Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 3-6.

2.Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the switch getting started guide for instructions.

3.Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-18, the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-19, and the “Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 2-22to complete the installation.

For configuration instructions about using the command-line interface (CLI) setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Desk- or Shelf-Mounting (with Mounting Screws)

This section is specific to the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches. For information applicable to the other Catalyst 2960 switches, see Chapter 2, “Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches).”

The switch can be secured to a desk or shelf with mounting screws. Follow these steps:

Step 1 Locate the screw template. You can use the template to align the mounting screw holes and also as a

guide to make sure that you install the screws into the desk or shelf with proper clearance.

Step 2 Position the screw template on top of the desk or shelf so that the two side-by-side slots face the front of the desk or shelf, as shown in Figure 3-1. This ensures that the power cord faces the rear of the desk or shelf after the switch is installed.

Note Wait before you attach the screw template to the desk or shelf.

2960 specifications

Cisco Systems 2960 series switches are a prominent solution in the networking landscape, known for their reliability, scalability, and feature-rich offerings. Ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises, these switches provide a robust foundation for network infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and connectivity.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 2960 series is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. The switches support multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), allowing network administrators to segment traffic efficiently and enhance security protocols. This is crucial in modern networks where managing traffic and isolating sensitive information is a priority.

The Cisco 2960 series also incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling the prioritization of critical applications and services. This functionality ensures that time-sensitive data, such as voice and video traffic, maintains a high quality of service even in congested networks. With support for IEEE 802.1p and DSCP marking, administrators can fine-tune their network performance to meet specific organizational needs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant characteristic of the Cisco 2960 series. This feature allows switches to deliver electrical power alongside data over Ethernet cables to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. With PoE, organizations can reduce clutter from power cables and increase deployment flexibility for various devices.

In terms of security, the Cisco 2960 series is equipped with a range of integrated security features. The switch supports port security, 802.1X authentication, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), providing robust defenses against unauthorized access and potential network vulnerabilities. These security measures are essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Moreover, the Cisco 2960 series offers enhanced network management capabilities with Cisco's Intelligent Network Services. This includes support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco Prime, and Embedded Event Manager (EEM), allowing for efficient monitoring, troubleshooting, and policy enforcement across the network.

Additionally, the Cisco 2960 switches provide various models and configurations, catering to different networking needs. Options include models with varying port densities, uplink configurations, and stacking capabilities, making it easy for organizations to choose solutions that align perfectly with their requirements.

In summary, the Cisco 2960 series is a versatile and essential component of modern networking environments. Its advanced features, including Layer 2 support, QoS, PoE, robust security, and diverse management tools, make it an excellent choice for organizations looking to build a strong and secure network infrastructure.
