4. Opsætning og installation

4.1 Udpakning

Carefully remove the switch and all accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present:

• Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L Switch
• Strømledning
• Rack-mount kit (if included)
• Console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9)

4.2 Fysisk installation

Switchen kan installeres på et skrivebord eller monteres i et standard 19-tommer udstyrsrack.

Desktopplacering:

Place the switch on a flat, stable surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the device.

Rack montering:

1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the provided screws.
2. Fastgør kontakten i udstyrsstativet med passende rackskruer.
3. Ensure proper airflow by leaving adequate space around the switch.

4.3 Tilslutning af strøm

Connect the provided power cord to the AC power connector on the rear of the switch and then to a grounded electrical outlet. The switch will power on automatically.

4.4 Tilslutning af netværkskabler

Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, access points, IP phones) to the 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the front panel. For devices requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensure they are connected to PoE-enabled ports.

Use the uplink ports (SFP/SFP+) for connecting to other switches or routers, typically with fiber optic cables or copper transceivers.

4.5 Adgang til indledende konfiguration

For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your computer's serial port to the console port on the switch. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with the following settings:

• Baud rate: 9600
• Databits: 8
• Paritet: Ingen
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flowkontrol: Ingen

Alternatively, if the switch has a pre-configured IP address and is accessible on the network, you can use SSH or a web-based management interface for configuration.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænd/sluk

The switch powers on automatically when connected to a power source. To power off, disconnect the power cord. For controlled shutdown, use the appropriate command-line interface (CLI) commands if configured.

5.2 LED-indikatorer

The front panel features various LED indicators to provide status information:

• System LED: Angiver den samlede systemstatus (f.eks. grøn for normal drift, gul for fejl).
• RPS LED: Indicates Redundant Power System status.
• Portstatus LED'er: Located next to each Ethernet port, indicating link status, activity, and PoE status.
• Mode Button LEDs: Indicate the currently selected mode for port LEDs (e.g., Stat, Duplex, Speed, PoE).

Refer to the Cisco documentation for a detailed explanation of each LED state.

5.3 Grundlæggende netværksforbindelse

Once powered on and configured, the switch will forward traffic between connected devices. Verify connectivity by checking port LEDs and testing network access from connected devices.

5.4 PoE Functionality

The 24-Port PoE switch provides power to compatible devices (e.g., IP phones, wireless access points) connected to its Ethernet ports. Ensure that the connected devices are PoE-compliant and that the switch has sufficient power budget.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Rengøring

Keep the switch clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the device.

6.2 firmwareopdateringer

Periodically check the Cisco website for firmware updates. Applying updates can improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities. Follow Cisco's official procedures for firmware upgrades.

6.3 Miljøhensyn

Ensure the switch operates within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Maintain proper ventilation to prevent overheating.

7. Fejlfinding

Dette afsnit indeholder grundlæggende fejlfindingstrin til almindelige problemer.

• Ingen strøm:
  • Kontroller, at netledningen er korrekt tilsluttet til både afbryderen og stikkontakten.
  • Tjek stikkontakten med en anden enhed.
  • Sørg for, at strømforsyningen fungerer korrekt.
• Ingen netværksforbindelse:
  • Check the port LED for the connected device. If off, reseat the cable or try a different port/cable.
  • Verify the connected device is powered on and configured correctly.
  • Check switch configuration for port shutdown or VLAN issues.
• PoE virker ikke:
  • Ensure the connected device is PoE-compliant.
  • Check the PoE status LED for the port.
  • Verify the switch's PoE power budget is not exceeded.
  • Check PoE configuration on the switch.

For advanced troubleshooting, consult the official Cisco documentation or contact Cisco technical support.
