2.2 Nøglefunktioner

• Flexible Management: Manage the switch via the Cisco IOS CLI (command-line interface) or an intuitive web brugergrænseflade.
• Centralized Monitoring: Centrally monitor and configure up to 8 switches via a single IP address or with any third-party network management tool.
• Enterprise-Class Security: Natively supports IPv4/IPv6 FHS security features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP inspection. These can be easily configured using a single "Auto-Secure" command.
• 802.1x Support: Provides 802.1x support for all connected devices, enhancing network access control.

3. Opsætning

3.1 Udpakning og inspektion

Carefully unpack the switch and verify that all components are present and undamaged. The box should contain:

• Cisco Catalyst 1000-48P-4X-L Switch
• Tilbehørssæt
• 1 printed document (this manual or a quick start guide)

If any items are missing or damaged, contact your vendor or Cisco support immediately.

3.2 Fysisk installation

1. Rack montering: The switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. Secure the switch using the provided rack-mount brackets and screws. Ensure adequate ventilation around the switch.
2. Strømtilslutning: Connect the power cord to the switch's power input and then to a grounded AC power outlet.
3. Netværkskabelforbindelse: Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, servers, access points) to the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the switch. For high-speed uplinks, insert SFP+ transceivers into the SFP+ ports and connect fiber optic cables.

3.3 Indledende tænding

After connecting the power cord, the switch will automatically power on. Observe the system LED indicators on the front panel. The System LED should turn green, indicating successful power-up and self-test completion.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Administrationsgrænseflader

The Cisco Catalyst 1000-48P-4X-L switch can be managed using two primary interfaces:

• Command-Line Interface (CLI): Access the CLI via a console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9) connected to the console port, or remotely via Telnet/SSH after initial configuration. The CLI provides full control over all switch features.
• Web Brugergrænseflade (Web UI): An intuitive graphical interface accessible via a web browser. After assigning an IP address to the switch, open a web browser and enter the switch's IP address to access the Web UI.

4.2 Grundlæggende konfiguration

Initial configuration typically involves:

• Assigning an IP address and subnet mask to the management VLAN interface.
• Setting up a default gateway.
• Configuring user accounts and passwords for secure access.
• Creating and assigning VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to segment network traffic.

4.3 Sikkerhedsfunktioner

The switch offers robust security features to protect your network:

• Havnesikkerhed: Restricts input to an interface by limiting and identifying MAC addresses of devices allowed to access the port.
• DHCP Snooping: Filters untrusted DHCP messages and builds a DHCP snooping binding database.
• Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI): Prevents ARP spoofing attacks by validating ARP packets.
• 802.1x Authentication: Provides port-based network access control, requiring users and devices to authenticate before gaining network access.
• "Auto-Secure" Command: A simplified command to configure multiple IPv4/IPv6 FHS security features simultaneously.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your switch:

• Firmwareopdateringer: Kontroller Cisco regelmæssigt website for the latest firmware updates. Applying updates can provide new features, performance improvements, and security patches.
• Miljøkontrol: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges. Keep the switch free from dust and obstructions to airflow.
• Kabelstyring: Vedligehold organiseret kabling for at forhindre utilsigtede afbrydelser og forbedre luftstrømmen.
• Sikkerhedskopiering af konfiguration: Regularly back up your switch configuration to an external storage device to facilitate quick recovery in case of a system failure.

6. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Cisco Catalyst 1000-48P-4X-L switch.

6.1 Almindelige problemer og løsninger

• Ingen strøm:
  • Kontroller, at netledningen er korrekt tilsluttet både afbryderen og stikkontakten.
  • Kontroller stikkontakten med en anden enhed for at sikre, at den fungerer.
  • Ensure the power supply unit (if external) is working correctly.
• Ingen netværksforbindelse:
  • Check the link/activity LEDs on the switch port and the connected device. A solid green or blinking LED indicates a valid link and activity.
  • Verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected and not damaged.
  • Ensure the connected device's network adapter is enabled and configured correctly.
  • Check switch port configuration (VLANs, port security) to ensure it matches the connected device's requirements.
• Langsom netværksydelse:
  • Check for network loops using spanning tree protocol (STP) status.
  • Monitor port utilization and error counters for congestion or faulty cables.
  • Ensure duplex settings match between the switch port and the connected device.
