Chapter1 Product Overview Switch Components

Catalyst 2948G and 2980G Switch Ports

The Catalyst 2948G switch 10/100BASE-T ports are configured in two rows. The
top row contains odd-numbered ports (1 through 47), and the bottom row contains
even-numbered ports (2 through 48).
The Catalyst 2980G switch 10/100BASE-T ports are configured in four rows. The
top two rows are numbered 1 through 48, with the first row odd-numbered (1
through 47) and the second row even-numbered (2 through 48). The bot tom two
rows are numbered 1 through 32, with the first row odd-numbered (1 through 31)
and the second row even-numbered (2 through 32).
Two GBIC ports are at the right of the front panel on the Catalyst 2948G and
Catalyst 2980G switches:
•On the Catalyst2948G switches, these ports are located at the far right of the
front panel. The upper Gigabit Ethernet port is port 49; t h e lower i s po rt 5 0.
The Link Status LEDs for these ports are below port 50.
•On the Catalyst 2980G switches, the GBIC Ethernet ports are located
immediately to the right of ports 31 and 32. The port on the left is port 33; the
port on the right is port 34. The Link Status LEDs for the Gigabit Ethernet
ports are located below each port.

Catalyst 2948G-GE-TX Switch Ports

The Catalyst 2948G-GE-TX 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports are
configured in two rows. The top row contains odd-numbered ports (1 through 47 ),
and the bottom row contains even-numbered ports (2 through 48).
The SFP module slots are numbered left to right 49 through 52.
