Product Overview

The Cisco Metro Ethernet (ME) 3400E Ethernet Access switch—referred to as the switch—is an

Ethernet access switch that you can connect to other network devices, such as routers, other switches, a

home access gateway (HAG), or a computer.

Setting Up the Switch

See the Cisco ME 3400E Ethernet Access Switch Getting Started Guide on the documentation CD for

instructions on how to initially configure your switch. The getting started guide also covers switch

management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection

procedures, and troubleshooting help.

For instructions on setting up your switch using the command-line interface (CLI), see Appendix C,

“Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Switch Models

You can deploy the switch as a backbone switch, aggregating 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T,

and fiber-optic Ethernet traffic from other network devices.

See the switch software configuration guide for examples that show how you might deploy the switch in

your network.
