Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on
when both the switch and the connected device have established link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for
loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn
on:
• The device at the other end might not be turned on.
• There might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See
Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
Installing and Removing SFP Modules
These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP
module slots on the front of the switch. These field-replaceable modules provide the uplink optical
interfaces, send (TX) and receive (RX).
You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. See the Cisco IE 3000 release notes for the list of
supported modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of
the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See
Table C-1 on page C-5 for cable stipulations for SFP module connections.
