Connecting AC and PoE Power

2.Use one of the following methods to complete the stack cable connections:

–If the running stack uses a daisy chain topology, make the stack cable connections from the bottom of the stack to the new switch (that is, STACK DOWN port from the bottom switch of the running stack to the STACK UP port on the new switch).

–If the running stack uses a ring stack topology, break the ring and make the stack cable connections to the new switch to close the ring.

3.Apply power to the new switch.

Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack

When using the clear config command (as described in the SecureStack C3 Configuration Guide) to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following:

•Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.

•Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.

Connecting AC and PoE Power

AC Power

Note: The power supply in the switch has automatic voltage sensing that allows connection to power sources ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

To connect the switch to the power source, refer to Figure 3‐8 and proceed as follows:

1.Plug the power cord into the switch AC power connector.

2.Plug the other end of the power cord into a dedicated grounded AC outlet (not shown). The type of power outlet and power cord are country‐dependent.

Note: If you plan to connect all the switches quickly to allow automatic Manager selection, wait until all switches are fully operational before proceeding to the next step.

If you plan to power up each switch and allow it to become fully operational before applying power to the next switch, proceed to the next step.

The switch also comes equipped with four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, enabling high-speed data transfer and ensuring the backbone of the network can handle heavy loads with ease.

On the other hand, the C3G124-24P features 24 ports, also with PoE+ functionality, and is designed for smaller setups or branch office deployments. It offers a power budget of 370 watts, which efficiently supports essential devices while remaining cost-effective. Similar to its 48-port counterpart, the C3G124-24P includes four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, providing flexibility and scalability for various network configurations.

Both switches incorporate advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, which include features such as VLAN support, link aggregation, and static routing. This versatility allows for effective traffic management and segmentation, which is crucial for maintaining a high-performing network. The switches also support security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security, ensuring that the network is protected from unauthorized access and potential threats.

Additionally, Enterasys Networks provides cloud-managed options for both models, allowing organizations to manage and monitor their network via a user-friendly interface. This cloud integration facilitates real-time alerts, configuration changes, and troubleshooting, empowering IT teams to respond swiftly to any issues that may arise.

Overall, the Enterasys Networks C3G124-48P and C3G124-24P switches are designed with scalability, power efficiency, and security in mind, making them suitable for a variety of applications from enterprise deployments to small business environments.
