THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT
NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT
ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION
PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO
LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

require product information). After you describe your situation, the TAC Case
Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If
your issue is not resolved using these recommendations, your case will be
assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer.
For P1 or P2 cases (your production network is down or severely degraded) or if
you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC
engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established
case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

78-6456-04 xxi
Preface
Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product

capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your
business operations.

This chapter provides the following topics that describe the

Catalyst 3500 series XL switches:
• Switch features
• Descriptions of the front and rear panels
• Management options
• Examples of the Catalyst 3500 XL switches in different network topologies
Features
The Catalyst 3500 series XL switches—also referred to as Catalyst 3500 XL
switches—are stackable 10/100 Ethernet switches to which you can connect
workstations and Cisco IP Phones and other network devices such as servers,
routers, and other switches. These switches also can be deployed as backbone
switches, aggregating 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet traffic from other network
devices. A feature specific to the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch is its ability to
provide inline power to Cisco IP Phones. (Phone adapters are not required when
connecting to the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL 10/100 switch ports.)
Figure 1-1 shows the switch models in the series, and Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 list

10/100 ports GBIC

module slots
10/100 Ports
The 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3512, 3524, 3524-PWR, and 3548 XL switches
are grouped in pairs. For example, in Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4, Figure 1-5, and
Figure 1-6, ports 1 and 2 are the left-most pair. The first member of the pair
(port 1) is above the second member (port 2). Port 3 is above port 4, and so on.
The 10/100 switch ports can connect, up to a distance of 100 meters, to any
compatible network device:
• 10BaseT-compatible devices such as workstations, Cisco IP Phones, and
hubs through standard RJ-45 connectors and Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling

78-6456-04 1-7
• 100BaseTX-compatible devices such as high-speed workstations, Cisco IP

Phones, servers, hubs, routers, and other switches through standard RJ-45
connectors and Category 5 cabling
Note Category 5 cable is required for 100BaseTX traffic. Ports operating

at 10 Mbps can use Category 3 and 4 cables, but these cables do not
work for ports operating at 100 Mbps.
When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and

Cisco IP Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through,
twisted-pair cable. When connecting the switch to switches or hubs,
use a crossover cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in
Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”
The 10/100 switch ports can be explicitly set to operate in any combination of
half duplex, full duplex, 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps. These ports also can be set for
speed and duplex autonegotiation, compliant with IEEE 802.3u. When set for
autonegotiation, the port can sense the speed and duplex settings of the attached
device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports
autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest
line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission, if the attached
device supports it) and configures itself accordingly.
The 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3512, 3524, 3524-PWR, and 3548 XL switches
provide protocol support for Cisco IP Phones. The Catalyst 3548 and
3524-PWR XL switches also support per-port priority override. Refer to the Cisco
IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide for more information about
these features.
Cisco IP Phones—connected to the 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3512, 3524, and
3548 XL switches—must be connected to an AC power source. However, the
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL 10/100 ports can:
• Provide –48V DC power to the following phones: Cisco IP Phone 7960,
Cisco IP Phone 7940, and Cisco IP Phone 7910
• Automatically detect if a Cisco IP Phone is connected
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a Catalyst 3524-PWR XL
10/100 port automatically provides power when a Cisco IP Phone is connected.
CMS and the CLI provide two inline power settings for each 10/100 port: Auto
and Never. When you select the Auto setting for inline power on a port, the port

1-8 78-6456-04

only provides power if a Cisco IP Phone is connected to it. The Auto setting is the
default. However, when you select the Never setting for inline power on a port,
the port does not provide power even if a Cisco IP Phone is connected to it.
You also can connect the Cisco IP Phone to a Catalyst 3524-PWR XL 10/100 port
and to an AC power source for redundant power. The power source to which the
Cisco IP Phone is first connected becomes its primary power source, and the
second power source is its backup. If the primary source fails, the second power
source becomes the primary power source to the Cisco IP Phone. During the
power transfer, the phone might reboot or reestablish link with the switch.
For information about Cisco IP Phones, refer to the documentation that came with
your Cisco IP Phone.
GBIC Module Slots

The Cisco Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module slots support the following
modules to provide flexibility in media and distance options:
• 1000BaseSX GBIC module for fiber connections of up to 550 meters.
• 1000BaseLX/LH GBIC module for fiber connections of up to 10 kilometers.
• 1000BaseZX GBIC module for fiber connections of up to 100 kilometers.
• GigaStack GBIC module for creating a 1-Gbps stack configuration of up to
nine Catalyst 3500 XL switches. The GigaStack GBIC supports one
full-duplex link (in a point-to-point configuration) or up to nine half-duplex
links (in a stack configuration) to other Gigabit Ethernet devices. Using the
required Cisco proprietary signaling and cabling, the maximum distance for
a GigaStack GBIC-to-GigaStack GBIC connection is 1 meter.
You can install up to two GBICs in the Catalyst 3512, 3524, 3524-PWR and
3548 XL switches and up to eight GBICs in the Catalyst 3508G XL switch.
Note GBIC modules are not factory-installed on these switches, but you
can order GBIC modules separately.
Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8 show how a GBIC module is inserted into a GBIC
module slot on the switch. Refer to the documentation that came with your GBIC
module for complete GBIC module information.

Color RPS Status

Off RPS is off or is not installed.
Solid green RPS is operational.
Blinking green RPS and the switch AC power supply are both powered on. If the switch power
supply fails, the switch powers down and restarts after 15 seconds, using power
from the RPS. The switch goes through its normal boot sequence when it restarts.
Note This is not a recommended configuration. For more information see the
“RPS Connector on the Catalyst 3508, 3512, 3524, and 3548 XL Switches”
section on page 1-23.
Amber RPS is connected but not functioning properly. One of the power supplies in the
RPS could be powered down, or a fan on the RPS could have failed.
Note If you are using an RPS with a revision level lower than Z3
with a Catalyst 3508G XL or a Catalyst 3548 XL switch, the
switch RPS LED might display amber (normally indicating an
RPS malfunction) even when the RPS is functioning properly.
The LEDs display correctly for RPS revision level Z3 or later.
The label on the bottom of the RPS shows the revision level.
Note The Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS) supports the

Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch.

operating on the RPS.
For more information about the failure conditions on the Cisco RPS 300, refer to
the Cisco Redundant Power System 300 Hardware Installation Guide.
Port LEDs and Modes

Each 10/100 port and module slot has a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group
or individually, display information about the switch and about the individual
ports. The port modes (Table 1-6) determine the type of information displayed
through the port LEDs.
To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is
highlighted. When you change port modes, the meaning of the port LED colors
also changes. Table 1-7 and Table 1-8 explain how to interpret the port LED
colors after you change the port mode.
Note To change the port mode in the Catalyst 3548 XL switch, press the
Mode label.

• Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS)—Supports the
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch
RPS Connector on the Catalyst 3508, 3512, 3524, and 3548 XL Switches
The Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600-AC-RPS) provides a quasi-redundant power
source for four external devices that use up to 150W DC each. Use a one-to-one
cable (one connector at each cable end) to connect four external devices to the
four DC output power modules. The power source is quasi-redundant because
there are two AC input power modules for the Cisco RPS and one DC output
power module for each external device. The AC input to the Cisco RPS is fully
redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.
Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS
receptacle.
Note Do not connect the switch power cord to an AC outlet if the switch
is also connected to a powered-on RPS. The switches do not support
the fully-redundant configuration described in the RPS
documentation. The redundant-with-reboot configuration is not
recommended. For more information on the Cisco RPS 600, refer to
the Cisco Redundant Power System Hardware Installation Guide.

RPS Connector on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL Switch
The Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS) has two output levels: –48V and
12V with a total output power of 300W. It provides a fully-redundant power
source for up to six switches. It automatically senses when one of the switches has
experienced power failure and automatically sends power to the affected switch.
Although it supports up to six switches, it can power only one switch at a time. If
more than one switch fails at the same time, the subsequent switches will not be
powered.
Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR300-AC-RPS) to the RPS
receptacle.
For more information on the Cisco RPS 300, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power
System 300 Hardware Installation Guide.
Console Port
You can connect a Catalyst 3500 XL switch to a PC by means of the console port
and the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter. You need to provide a
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console
port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=)
containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout
information, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page B-4.
Management Options
Catalyst 3500 XL switches offer several management options:
• Cisco Cluster Management Suite
This suite is made up of four web-based applications that you use to create,
monitor, and configure a cluster of switches or an individual switch. You use
the Cluster Builder, Cluster View, and Cluster Manager applications to create,
configure, and monitor clusters. You use the Visual Switch Manager (VSM)
application to manage individual and standalone switches. For more
information, refer to the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software
Configuration Guide and the online help for these applications.

1-24 78-6456-04

Network Configuration Examples
• Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI)

Connect a PC or terminal directly to the console port, located on the rear
panel of the switch, to access the CLI. If the switch is connected to your
network, you can use a Telnet connection to manage the switch from a remote
location. See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference for more
information.
• CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image
that you can use to set configuration parameters and to view switch status and
performance information. The CiscoView application, which you purchase
separately, can be a standalone application or part of an SNMP
network-management platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more
information.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management
You can manage switches from an SNMP-compatible management station
that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The
switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and MIB II, the
IEEE 802.1D bridge MIB, and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See
the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more
information.

This section provides network configuration concepts and includes examples of
using the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the
segments through Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Design Concepts for Using the Switch

As your network users compete for network bandwidth, it takes longer to send and
receive data. When you configure your network, consider the bandwidth required
by your network users and the relative priority of the network applications they
use. Table 1-9 describes what can cause network performance to degrade and
describes how you can configure your network to increase the bandwidth
available to your network users.

78-6456-04 1-25
Table 1-9 Considerations for Increasing Network Performance
Network Demands Suggested Design Methods

• Too many users on a single • Create smaller network segments so that fewer users share
network segment and a growing the bandwidth, and place the network resources in the same
number of users accessing the logical network as the users who access those resources

• Use full-duplex operation between the switch and its
connected workstations.
• The increased power of new PCs, • Connect global resources—such as servers and routers to
workstations, and servers which network users require equal access—directly to the

applications (such as e-mail with
large attached files) and from • Use the Fast EtherChannel or Gigabit EtherChannel feature
bandwidth-intensive applications between the switch and its connected servers and routers.
(such as multimedia)
• An evolving demand for IP • Use quality of service (QoS) to prioritize applications such
telephony as IP telephony during congestion and to help control both
delay and jitter within the network. Use switches that
support at least two queues per port to prioritize voice and
data traffic as either high or low priority based on
802.1p/Q.
You can connect the switch to other devices and create backup paths by using
Fast Ethernet or gigabit links or Fast EtherChannel or Gigabit EtherChannel links.
Using the Hot Standby Redundancy Protocol (HSRP), you can create backup
paths between Catalyst 4908G-L3 switches. Figure 1-21 illustrates three
configuration examples for using the Catalyst 3500 XL switches to create the
following:
• Cost-effective wiring closet—A cost-effective way to connect many users to
the wiring closet is to connect up to nine Catalyst 3500 XL switches through
GigaStack GBIC connections. When you use a stack of Catalyst 3548 XL
switches, you can connect up to 432 users. To preserve connectivity between
the switches in case one switch in the stack fails, connect the bottom switch
to the top switch to create a GigaStack loopback.

1-26 78-6456-04

Using gigabit GBIC modules on two of the switches, you can have redundant
uplink connections to a gigabit backbone switch such as the
Catalyst 3508G XL switch. If one of the redundant connections fails, the
other can serve as a backup path. You can configure the stack members and
the Catalyst 3508G XL switch as a switch cluster to manage them through a
single IP address.
• High-performance workgroup—For users who require high-speed access to
network resources, use gigabit GBIC modules to connect the switches
directly to a backbone switch in a star configuration. Each switch in this
configuration provides users a dedicated 1-Gbps connection to network
resources in the backbone. Compare this with the switches in a GigaStack
configuration, where the 1-Gbps connection is shared among the switches.
Using gigabit GBIC modules also provides flexibility in media and distance
options:
– 1000BaseSX GBIC module: Fiber connections of up to 550 m
– 1000BaseLX/LH GBIC module: Fiber connections of up to 10 km
– 1000BaseZX GBIC module: Fiber connections of up to 100 km
• Redundant gigabit backbone—To enhance network reliability and load
balancing for different VLANs and subnets, you can connect the
Catalyst 3500 XL switches, again in a star configuration, to two backbone
switches. If one of the backbone switches fails, the second backbone switch
preserves connectivity between the switches and network resources.

Small- to Medium-Sized Network Configuration

Figure 1-22 illustrates a configuration for a network that has up to 250 users.
Users in this network require e-mail, file-sharing, database, and Internet access.
You optimize network performance by placing workstations on the same logical
segment as the servers they access most often. This divides the network into
smaller segments (or workgroups) and reduces the amount of traffic that travels
over a network backbone, thereby increasing the bandwidth available to each user
and improving server response time.
A network backbone is a high-bandwidth connection (such as Fast Ethernet or
Gigabit Ethernet) that interconnects segments and network resources. It is required
if numerous segments require access to the servers. The Catalyst 3500 XL
switches in this network are connected through a GigaStack GBIC on each switch
to form a 1-Gbps network backbone. This GigaStack also can be configured as a
switch cluster, with primary and secondary command switches for redundant
cluster management.
Workstations are connected directly to the 10/100 switch ports for their own
10- or 100-Mbps access to network resources (such as web and mail servers).
When a workstation is configured for full-duplex operation, it receives up to
200 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth from the switch.
Servers are connected to the gigabit GBIC module ports on the switches, allowing
1-Gbps throughput to users when needed. When the switch and server ports are
configured for full-duplex operation, the links provide 2 Gbps of bandwidth. For
networks that do not require gigabit performance from a server, connect the server
to a Fast Ethernet or Fast EtherChannel switch port.
Connecting a router to a Fast Ethernet switch port provides multiple,
simultaneous access to the Internet through one line.

Collapsed Backbone and Switch Cluster Configuration

Figure 1-23 illustrates a configuration for a network of approximately
500 employees. This network uses a collapsed backbone and switch clusters. A
collapsed backbone has high-bandwidth uplinks from all segments and
subnetworks to a single device, such as a gigabit switch, which serves as a single
point for monitoring and controlling the network. You can use a
Catalyst 4908G-L3 switch, as illustrated, or a Catalyst 3508G XL switch to create
a gigabit backbone. A Catalyst 4908G-L3 backbone switch provides the benefits
of inter-VLAN routing and allows the router to focus on WAN access.
The workgroups are created by clustering the Catalyst switches except the
Catalyst 4908G-L3 switch. Using the Cisco Cluster Management Suite, you can
group the switches into multiple clusters, as illustrated, or into a single cluster.
You can manage a cluster through the IP address of its primary and secondary
command switches, regardless of the geographic location of the cluster members.
This network also includes voice and data subnetworks, where Cisco IP Phones
are connected—using standard straight-through, twisted-pair cable with RJ-45
connectors—to the 10/100 inline-power ports on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL
switches and to the 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3500 and 2900 XL switches.
These multiservice switch ports automatically detect if an IP phone is connected.
You also configure each port for 802.1p/Q QoS to give forwarding priority to
voice traffic over data traffic. Cisco CallManager controls call processing,
routing, and IP phone features and configuration. Users with workstations running
Cisco SoftPhone software can place, receive, and control calls from their PCs.
Using Cisco IP Phones, Cisco CallManager software, and Cisco SoftPhone
software integrates telephony and IP networks, where the IP network supports
both voice and data.
Each 10/100 inline-power port on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches provides
–48V DC power to the Cisco IP Phone. The IP phone can receive redundant power
when it also is connected to an AC power source. IP phones connected to switches
other than the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches receive power from an AC power
source.
Grouping servers in a centralized location provides benefits such as security and
easier maintenance. The gigabit connections to a server farm provide the
workgroups full access to the network resources (such as a call-processing server
running Cisco CallManager software, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)/Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server, or an IPTV multicast server).

78-6456-04 1-31
The connection between the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch and the router is
configured for Fast EtherChannel, increasing the bandwidth to 200 Mbps
(400 Mbps in full duplex).

Large Campus Configuration

Figure 1-24 illustrates a configuration for a network of more than 1000 users.
Because it can aggregate up to 130 gigabit connections, a Catalyst 6500
multilayer switch is used as the backbone switch.
You can use the earlier workgroup configurations to create workgroups with
gigabit uplinks to the Catalyst 6500 switch. For example, you can use switch
clusters that have a mix of Catalyst 3500 and 2900 XL switches.
The Catalyst 6500 switch provides the workgroups with gigabit access to core
resources:
• Cisco 7000 series router for access to the WAN and the Internet.
• Server farm that includes a call-processing server running Cisco CallManager
software. Cisco CallManager controls call processing, routing, and IP phone
features and configuration.
• Cisco Access gateway (such as Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway or Cisco
Access Analog Trunk Gateway) that connects the IP network to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or to users in an IP telephony network.

After the switch is mounted on the wall, attach the power cord to the switch. If
you are using the RPS, see the Cisco RPS documentation.
After the power is connected, the system LED turns amber for 2 seconds, and then
it flashes green while the switch completes a series of self-tests described in the
“Powering On the Switch and Running POST” section on page 2-17.

Installing the Switch on a Table or Shelf
Installing the Switch on a Table or Shelf

Follow these steps to install the switch on a table or shelf:
Step 1 Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. Attach
the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit.
Step 2 Place the switch on the table or shelf near an AC power source.
Step 3 Connect the power cord to the switch rear panel and to the power outlet. If you are
using the RPS, see the RPS documentation for installation instructions.
After the power is connected, the system LED turns amber for 2 seconds, and then
it flashes green while the switch completes POST.
Powering On the Switch and Running POST

If your configuration has an RPS, see the “Power Connectors” section on
page 1-22 and the Cisco RPS documentation.
To power on the switch after you install it, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you have started the emulation software program (such as ProComm,
HyperTerminal, tip, or minicom) from your management station.
Step 2 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of eight tests that run
automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. When the switch
begins POST, the port LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and then they turn green.
The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LED turns off. As each test runs, the
port LEDs, starting with number 1, turn off. The port LEDs for ports 2 to 8 each
turn off in turn as the system completes a test.

78-6456-04 2-17
Connecting to the 10/100 Ports
When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs return to the status mode
display, indicating that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port LED
associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. If POST
fails, refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” to determine a course of action.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch
does not pass POST.

The switch 10/100 Ethernet ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of
attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can
explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters.
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex
parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage. To
maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the 10/100
Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
You can configure the 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch to
either automatically provide inline power when a Cisco IP Phone is connected or
to never provide inline power even if a Cisco IP Phone is connected. The default
setting is Auto.
Caution It takes a Catalyst 3524-PWR XL 10/100 port up to 10 seconds to

initially detect, power, and link to a Cisco IP Phone. If you
disconnect the Cisco IP Phone before link has been established, you
must wait 10 seconds before connecting another network device
(other than another Cisco IP Phone) to that switch port. Failure to do
so can result in damage to that network device.

2-18 78-6456-04

Follow these steps to connect to 10BaseT and 100BaseTX devices:
Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect
a straight-through Category 5 cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel
(Figure 2-10). When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover
Category 5 cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in the “Crossover and
Straight-Through Cable Pinouts” section on page B-4.

Note The Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch can connect to a Cisco IP Phone

through a straight-through, twisted-pair cable. The rear panel of the
Cisco IP Phone might have more than one RJ-45 jack. Use the
LAN-to-phone jack to connect the phone to the
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch. Refer to the documentation that
came with your Cisco IP Phone for information about connecting
devices to it.

78-6456-04 2-19
Connecting to the GBIC Module Ports
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector of the other device. The
port LED comes on when both the switch and the connected device have
established link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the
topology and searches for loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port
LED turns green.
If the port LED does not come on, the device at the other end might not be turned
on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in
the attached device. See Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling
problems.
Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Note Install the Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) as described in the
“GBIC Module Slots” section on page 1-9, and then connect to the
1000BaseX ports.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the GBICs

(1000BaseSX module or the 1000BaseLX/LH module), refer to the GBIC
documentation.

Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port
For more information on the GigaStack GBIC connections and configuration

scenarios, see the Catalyst GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter Hardware
Installation Guide.
Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port

Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch
console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you
want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For
console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter
Specifications” section on page B-4.
The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The
terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal
or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or
terminal possible during the setup program.
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:
Step 1 Be sure that your PC- or terminal-emulation software is configured to

communicate with the switch via hardware flow control.
Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these
console port default characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
After you have gained access to the switch, you can change the port baud rate. See
the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide for instructions.

78-6456-04 2-23
Assigning Switch Information
Step 3 Using the supplied rollover cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port,
as shown in Figure 2-13. See the “Identifying a Rollover Cable” section on
page B-5 for a description of the pinout.

appropriate adapter to the terminal.
Step 5 Insert the other end of the supplied rollover cable in the attached adapter.
Step 6 Boot the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

You can assign the switch IP address information, host and cluster names, and
passwords by two methods:
• Using the setup program in the switch
• Using a BOOTP server
This section describes each method.

2-24 78-6456-04

Using the Setup Program

You can use an automatic setup program to assign IP information and to create a
default configuration for continued operation. Later, you can use the Cluster
Management Suite or the command-line interface (CLI) to customize your
configuration. To run the setup program, access the switch from the PC terminal
that you connected to the console port. (See the “Connecting a PC or Terminal to
the Console Port” section on page 2-23.)
Note If the switch will be a cluster member, it is not always necessary to

assign IP information or a password, as the switch will be managed
through the IP address of the command switch. If you are
configuring a command switch or standalone switch, you need to
assign IP information.
The first time that you access the switch, it runs a setup program that prompts you
for IP and other configuration information necessary for the switch to
communicate with local routers and the Internet. This information also is required
if you plan to use the Cluster Management Suite to configure and manage the
switch.
Note If the switch will be a cluster member managed through the IP

address of the command switch, it is not necessary to assign IP
information or a password. If you are configuring the switch as a
standalone switch or as a command switch, you must assign IP
information. Refer to the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software
Configuration Guide for more information.
You will need the following information from your system administrator:
Switch IP address ___________.___________.___________._________
Subnet mask (netmask) ___________.___________.___________._________

78-6456-04 2-25
Default gateway (router) ___________.___________.___________._________
Enable secret password ___________________________________________
Use this procedure to create an initial configuration for the switch:
Note Be sure the rollover cable is connecting a PC serial port to the switch
console port. The data characteristics are 9600 baud, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit, and no parity. Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9
adapter to connect a PC to the switch console port. You need to
provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to
connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from
Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the
“Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on page B-4.

2-26 78-6456-04

Note On a command switch, the host name is limited to

28 characters; on a member switch to 31 characters. Do not
use -n, where n is a number, as the last characters in a host
name for any switch.
Enter host name: host_name
Step 7 Enter a secret password (which ensures switch security), and press Return:
Note The secret password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric

characters, can start with a number, is case-sensitive, and
allows spaces but ignores leading spaces.
Enter enable secret: secret_password
Step 8 Enter Y to enter a Telnet password:

Would you like to configure a Telnet password? [yes]: y
Step 9 Enter the Telnet password, and press Return:
Note The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric

characters, is case-sensitive, allows spaces, but ignores
leading spaces.
Enter Telnet password: telnet_password
Step 10 Enter Y to configure this switch as the cluster command switch. Enter N to
configure it as a member switch or as a standalone switch.
Note If you enter N to configure the switch as a member switch or

as a standalone, it appears as a candidate switch in Cluster
Builder and the Step 11 message is not displayed.
Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? y

78-6456-04 2-27

end
!
Use this configuration? [yes/no]:
Step 13 If the information is correct, enter Y at the prompt, and press Return to use the
displayed configuration. When you see the message “Press RETURN to get
started,” the setup program is complete. You can use your browser and the Cluster
Management Suite or use the CLI to manage the switch.
If the information is not correct, enter N at the prompt, press Return, and begin
again at Step 1.
The Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide describes how
to set a password to protect the switch against unauthorized Telnet access and how
to access the switch if you forget the password.

2-28 78-6456-04

Default Configuration Settings
Using BOOTP
You can use BOOTP to assign IP information to a Catalyst 3500 XL switch. A
database with a list of physical MAC addresses and corresponding IP addresses
must be set up on the BOOTP server. Other optional information, such as the
corresponding subnet masks and default gateway addresses, can also be stored in
the database. The switch must be able to access the BOOTP server through one of
its ports.
If the switch starts and no IP address has been assigned, it transmits a BOOTP
broadcast request to all of its connected ports, requesting a mapping for its
physical MAC address. A valid response includes the IP address, which is
mandatory, and the subnet mask and the default gateway, which are optional.
The reception of a valid BOOTP response immediately activates the rest of the
system protocol suite, without requiring a system reset. The running configuration
is set, but the saved configuration in Flash memory is not automatically updated.
To save the IP information, log in to the CLI, and enter the write memory
command. The IP information is then preserved, and the switch does not issue
BOOTP messages the next time it resets.

After you assign IP information, the switch can operate with the default
configuration settings shown in Table 2-1.

Troubleshooting
The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the
switch. They show failures in the power-on self-test (POST), port-connectivity
problems, and overall switch performance. For a full description of the switch
LEDs, see the “LEDs” section on page 1-11.
You can also get statistics from the browser interface, from the command-line
interface (CLI), or from an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
workstation. See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Software Configuration Guide,
the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference (online only), or the
documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.
This chapter describes the following topics for troubleshooting problems:
• Understanding POST results
• Diagnosing problems

78-6456-04 3-1
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
Understanding POST Results
Understanding POST Results

Table 3-1 lists the eight POST tests and their associated LEDs.
POST tests run automatically each time the switch is powered on. When the
switch begins POST, the port LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and then they turn
green. The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LED turns off. As each test
runs, the port LEDs, starting with number 1, turn off. The port LEDs for ports 2
to 8 each turn off in turn as the system completes a test.
When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs return to the status mode
display, indicating that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port LED
associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber.
Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch
does not pass POST.

Connector and Cable Specifications
This appendix describes the Catalyst 3500 XL switch ports and the cables and
adapters that you use to connect the switch to other devices.
Connector Specifications
10/100 Ports
The 10/100 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts
with internal crossovers, as indicated by an X in the port name. These ports have
their transmit (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a
straight-through cable and adapter can be attached to the port. Figure B-1 shows
the pinout.
When connecting the 10/100 ports to compatible workstations, servers, routers,
and Cisco IP Phones, you must use a straight-through cable wired for 10BaseT
and 100BaseTX (Figure B-5 illustrates the straight-through cable schematics).
When connecting to other switches or repeaters, ensure that you use a crossover
cable. (Figure B-4 illustrates the crossover cable schematics.)
Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports when one of the
ports is designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two
ports when both ports are designated with an X or when both ports
do not have an X.

22084
The GigaStack GBIC cables are proprietary, high-data-rate cables with enhanced
signal integrity and EMI performance.
Caution Do not use standard IEEE 1394 cables with the GigaStack GBIC.
Console Port
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, described in Table B-1 and
Table B-2. The supplied RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and DB-9 adapter are used
to connect the console port of the switch to a console PC. You need to provide a
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you want to connect the switch console
port to a terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=)
containing that adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout
