Switch Ports

Switch Ports
Uplink Ports
This section describes the uplink ports on Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches. The ports vary
depending on the switch model.

1000BASE-T/1000BASE-X Dual-Media Ports

Dual-media ports include SFP and copper uplink ports. The SFP ports support 1-Gb and 100-Mb modules.
The copper ports support 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T, with autonegotiation, auto-MDIX,
and cable diagnostics on an RJ-45 connector.
By default, the SFP interface has the higher priority if both the RJ-45 and the SFP interfaces are active. You
can override the default priority with the CLI command media-type SFP | RJ45.
IE-3100-8T2C-E, IE-3100-18T2C-E, IE-3105-8T2C-E, and IE-3105-18T2C-E switches support dual-media
ports.

Gigabit Ethernet SFP Only Ports

Gigabit SFP uplink ports support 1-Gb SFP and 100-Mb SFP modules. SFPs installed in these ports can draw
up to 825mW each.
IE-3100-4T2S-E is the only switch model that has gigabit SFP only ports.

Note • Refer to the Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Data Sheet and the Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility
Matrix for details about the supported SFP Modules.
• For installation instructions, see your SFP module documentation and the section Installing and Removing
SFP Modules.
For cable specifications, see the section SFP Module Cables, on page 66.

Downlink Ports
All Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches have gigabit 1000BASE-T ports that support 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T with autonegotiation, auto-MDIX, and cable diagnostics on an RJ-45 connector.
The number of downlink ports varies depending on the switch model. See Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged
Series Swtiches, on page 1 for more information.

Port Status LEDs

Each Ethernet port has a port LED that displays information about the individual port. The dual-media ports
have two LEDs, one by the SFP connector and the second by the RJ-45 connector.

Table 1: Port Status LED States

LED State Port Status

Off No link, or the port is administratively shut down.

Management Ports

LED State Port Status

Green Link present, but no activity.

Blinking green Activity: Port is sending or receiving data.

Alternating green Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and errors such as excessive collisions,
and amber CRC errors, and alignment and jabber errors are monitored for a link-fault indication.

Amber Port is blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and is not forwarding data.
After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain amber for up to 30 seconds as
STP checks the switch for possible loops.

Management Ports
You can connect the switch to a computer running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either
of the two console ports on the front panel. One is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 connector and the other is
a USB micro-Type B port. The USB port is behind a door that also covers the SD card slot.
The RS-232 console port uses an RJ-45-to-DB9 female cable. The USB console port uses a USB Type
B-to-5-pin micro-Type B cable. The USB-micro console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console
interface speeds.
By default, the USB console is the active input whenever the USB console is connected, and the RJ-45 console
is active when the USB console is not plugged in.
To use the USB-micro console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device
that is connected to the USB-micro console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the console
port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux requires no special drivers.

Management Port LED

The two management ports share a console LED, which shows which console port is in use. If both RS-232
and USB ports are connected, the USB port has priority, unless you have disabled the USB console.

Table 2: Management Port LED States

LED State Port Status

Off The USB port is not active; the RJ-45 port is active.

Green The RJ-45 port is active; the USB port is not active.

Power Connectors
Each Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switch supports 9.6–60V DC DIN rail power inputs, which provide
active-standby redundancy. The input with the higher voltage supplies all the power to the switch.

Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

6
 Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches
System LED

You connect power to the switch through the front panel connectors. The switch has a dual-feed DC power
supply: Two connectors provide primary and secondary DC power (DC-A and DC-B). Each input has an
independent screw terminal and an LED status indicator.
The DC power connectors are near the top right of the front panel. The power connector labeling is on the
panel. The positive DC power connection is labeled “+”, and the return connection is labeled “–”.
Figure 3: Power Connector

The switch can operate with a single power source or with dual power sources. When both power sources are
working, the switch draws power from the DC source with the higher voltage. If one of the two power sources
fail, the other continues to power the switch.
In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to separate
independent power sources. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due
to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
The following table shows the power connector LED states and what they mean.

Table 3: Power Connector LED States

 Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches
Alarms

Alarms
You connect the alarm signals to the Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switch through the alarm connector.
The switch has two dry-contact alarm inputs and one dry-contact Form-C relay alarm output.
The alarm connector attached to the bottom right of the front panel with provided captive screws. It provides
six alarm wire connections.
Figure 4: Alarm Connector

The alarm inputs are electrically isolated from system ground to prevent ground loops, but the inputs are not
isolated from each other. The alarm output is isolated from system ground and from the alarm inputs. The
alarm output supports signal levels of up to 48 VDC.
Both alarm input circuits can sense if the alarm input is open or closed. The alarm inputs can be activated for
environmental, power supply, and port status alarm conditions. From the CLI, you can configure each alarm
input as an open or closed contact.
The alarm output circuit is a relay with a normally open and a normally closed contact. The switch is configured
to detect faults that are used to energize the relay coil and change the state on both of the relay contacts:
normally open contacts close, and normally closed contacts open. The alarm output relay can be used to control
an external alarm device, such as a bell or a light.
There is a separate LED for each of the two inputs and for the output.

Express Setup Button

Express Setup Button

Express Setup is a web-based procedure to configure initial IP address information to the new switch. It
provides a simple way to manage the switch and connect it to an existing network of local routers and the
internet.
The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switch front panel has an Express Setup button and a setup LED.
The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation; you need a paper clip or similar object to press it. You
trigger different Express Setup features by varying the amount of time that you press the button.

Table 6: Express Setup Modes

Mode Seconds Required to Trigger Mode Description

Short Press 1 to 5 Places the switch into Express

Setup mode.

Medium Press 6 to 10 Causes the switch to start DHCP

discovery phase on the VLAN1
interface.

Long Press 16 to 20 Causes the switch to erase its

startup configuration and reload.
This in turn causes the switch to
revert to its Day 1 default
configuration.

When you first set up the switch, we recommend that you use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information.
This process enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch
through the IP address for more configuration.
For more information, see the "Running Express Setup" chapter in this guide.

Express Setup LED

The Express Setup LED on the front of the switch displays the express setup mode for the initial configuration.
The following table shows the LED states and what they mean.

Wiring the Protective Ground and DC Power for Alarm Circuits

For instructions on grounding the switch and connecting the DC power, see Ground the Switch, on page 26.

Wire the External Alarms

The switch has two alarm input and one alarm output relay circuits for external alarms. The alarm input circuits
are designed to sense if the alarm input is open or closed relative to the alarm input reference pin. Each alarm
input can be configured as an open or closed contact. The alarm output relay circuit has a normally open and
a normally closed contact.
Alarm signals are connected to the switch through the six-pin alarm connector. Three connections are dedicated
to the two alarm input circuits: alarm input 1, alarm input 2, and a reference ground. An alarm input and the
reference ground wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm input circuit. The three remaining
connections are for the alarm output circuit: a normally open output, a normally closed output, and a common
signal. An alarm output and the common wiring connection are required to complete a single alarm output
circuit.
The following table shows the labels for the alarm connector that are on the switch panel.

Note You can insert the SFP connector into either of the ports outlined in red in the preceding illustration. You
can insert the RJ-45 connector into either of the ports outlined in orange in the preceding illustration.

For more information about RJ-45 connections, SFP modules, and optical connections, see Connect to 10/100/1000 Ports,
on page 49, Installing and Removing SFP Modules, on page 51, and Connecting to SFP Modules, on page 56 in this
guide.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the other device.
By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose port and
configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize only an RJ-45 connector
or only an SFP module by using the media-type interface configuration command.

Verifying the Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in its final location, power on the switch, and verify that the switch powers up.
The purpose is to verify that switch powers up, and that any fiber or copper connections made establish an
Ethernet link. This step is optional.

What to Do Next
If the switch has been previously configured and is currently in nondefault state, then the switch does not
need further configuration. you can use any of the following management options to change the default
configuration:
• Start the Web UI, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone switches. This
is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the Web
UI from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the Software
Configuration Guide and the Web UI online help.
• Use the CLI to configure the switch as an individual switch from the console.
• Start an SNMP application.
• Start the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) management tool. You can manage an entire industrial
automation system with the CIP-based tools.

Note If the switch is in default state and needs initial configuration, see the following chapters in this guide: Express
Setup and Switch Configuration with the CLI Setup Program. These chapters can help you with Day 1
configuration.

Cables and Adapters

SFP Module Cables
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and for reliable communications,
the cable must not exceed the allowable length. See the Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Data Sheet on
cisco.com for detailed cabling information.

Note • The maximum operating temperature of the switch varies depending on the type of SFP module that you
use.
• Modal bandwidth applies only to multimode fiber (MMD),
• A mode-field diameter/cladding diameter = 9 micrometers/125 micrometers.
• 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules connected with MMF over a short link distance require a
mode-conditioning patch cord.
Ordinary patch cords can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). Using
the 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameterMMF requires a mode-conditioning patch
cord between the single mode fiber (SMF) SFP module and the MMF cable on both the send and receive
link ends.
• Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m) require a mode-conditioning patch cord.
• 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can send data up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF
or low-attenuation SMF. The distance depends on fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.
Fiber-optic cable spans less than 15.43 miles (25 km) require a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical
attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module.

Diagnosing Problems
The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show port-connectivity problems
and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the Web UI, the CLI, or an SNMP workstation.
See the software configuration guides for Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches or the documentation
that came with your SNMP application for details.

Switch LEDs
Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See the LED information in the chapter
Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches, on page 1 for a description of the LED colors and their
meanings.

Switch Connections
Bad or Damaged Cable
Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at
the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors. You
can identify this problem because the port has many packet errors or it constantly flaps (loses and regains
link).
• Exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known good cable.

Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

93
 Troubleshooting
Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.

• Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media convertors between the source and the destination.
If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media convertors (fiber-optic-to-copper).
• Try the cable in another port to see if the problem follows the cable.

Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

Make sure that you have the correct cable:
• For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5, Category
5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100, 10/100/1000 Mb/s, and PoE connections.
• Verify that you have the correct fiber-optic cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the
connected device ports match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.
• Determine if a copper crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse.
Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable.

Link Status
Verify that both sides have a link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show a link although
the other side does not have a link.
A port LED that is on does not guarantee that the cable is functional. It might have encountered physical
stress, causing it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:
• Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.
• Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.
• Verify that both devices have power.
• Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See the chapter Cables and Connectors, on page 63 in
this guide for information.
• Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable, and
then reconnect it.

10/100/1000 Port Connections

If a port appears to malfunction, complete the following steps.
• Verify the status of all ports by checking the LEDs. For more information, see information about LEDs
in the chapter Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches, on page 1 in this guide.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or shut
down. Re-enable the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type.

Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

94
 Troubleshooting
SFP Module

SFP Module
Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security
information. This encoding verifies that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
• Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module.
• Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the SFP
modules that the switch supports.)
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled,
disabled, or shutdown. Reenable the port if needed.
• Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.

Interface Settings
Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either side
of the link, it does not come up until you reenable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC
command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the connection. If
needed, reenable the interface.

Ping End Device

Ping from the directly connected switch first, and then work your way back port by port, interface by interface,
trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch can identify
the end device MAC address in its Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.

Spanning Tree Loops

STP loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface problems.
A unidirectional link can cause loops. It occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by the neighbor,
but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken cable, other cabling problems, or a
port issue can cause this one-way communication.
You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link
problems. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in
the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

Switch Performance
Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation
Port statistics that show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions
errors, might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.

Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

95
 Troubleshooting
Reset the Switch

A common issue occurs when duplex and speed settings are mismatched between two switches, between a
switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when manually
setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.
To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the
duplex or the speed settings.
• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the interfaces on both ends of the connection.
• If a remote device does not autonegotiate, use the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed
parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Reset the Switch

These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch to the factory default settings:
• You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP
address.
• You want to reset the password on the switch.

Note Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

Caution If you press the Express Setup button when you power on, the automatic boot
sequence stops, and the switch enters bootloader mode.
Attention :
Si vous appuyez sur le bouton de configuration express lors de la mise sous
tension, la séquence de démarrage automatique s’arrête et le commutateur passe
en mode de chargeur de démarrage.

To reset the switch, complete the following steps.

Step 1 Press and hold the Express Setup button for 15 to 20 seconds with a paper clip or similar object.
The button is recessed behind a small hole in the faceplate. The Express Setup LED turns green after the switch reboots.
The switch reboots and returns to the manufacturing default configuration.

Step 2 Press the Express Setup button again for 3 seconds.

A switch 10/100/100 Ethernet port blinks green.

 Troubleshooting
Recovering Passwords

What to do next
The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup
procedure that is described in the Switch Configuration with the CLI Setup Program chapter in this guide.
You can also configure the switch by using Express Setup as described in the Express Setup chapter in this
guide.

Recovering Passwords
The default configuration for the switch allows an end user with physical access to the switch to recover from
a lost password by interrupting the boot process during power-on and by entering a new password. These
recovery procedures require that you have physical access to the switch.

Note On these devices, a system administrator can disable some of the functionality of this feature by allowing an
end user to reset a password only by agreeing to return to the default configuration. If you are an end user
trying to reset a password when password recovery has been disabled, a status message reminds you to return
to the default configuration during the recovery process.

See Reset the Switch, on page 96 in this guide for instructions on resetting the switch and entering a new
password.

Finding the Switch Serial Number

If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you must know the serial number of your switch. You can also
use the show version privileged EXEC command to obtain the switch serial number.
Also, the Serial Number for the switch is printed on the device label, on the device itself.
