Introducing the Switch

Front of the Switch

Network Ports

24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports.

All these ports have the “Auto-MDIX” feature, which means that you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect any network devices to the switch.

Two RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T ports for high speed uplink.

Two mini-GBIC (SPF) slots for fiber uplinks.

LEDs

On the 2610 Switches, there are three groupings of LEDs:

switch status LEDs (Table 1-2)

port LEDs (Table 1-3)

Port LED Mode indicator LEDs (near the selector button) (Table 1-4)

Power

On

The internal power supply is working properly.

Off

No power connection. The switch is NOT receiving power.

 

 

Flashing2

A failure of the internal power supply. It should be flashing simultaneously

 

 

with the Fault LED. (If an RPS is connected to the switch, the RPS is

 

 

actively powering the switch, the RPS LED will be on.)

 

 

 

Fault

Off

The normal state; indicates there are no fault conditions on the switch.

(orange)

Flashing2

A fault has occurred with a component on the switch. The Status LED for

 

 

 

the component with the fault will flash simultaneously.

 

On

On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of

 

 

switch self test. If this LED is on for a prolonged time, the switch has

 

 

encountered a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test. See

 

 

chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for more information.
