Connecting the switch to the network

TIP:
After connecting the switch to the network, you can use the ping or tracert command to check the
interoperability between the switch and network. For more information, see
Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference

Connecting the switch to the network through an AUX cable

You need an AUX cable when configuring a switch with the remote modem dial-up approach.
An AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector and at the other
end is a DB-9 (male) connector. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the AUX port of the switch and the DB-9
(male) connector into the DB-9 (female) port of the modem. An AUX cable is the same as a console cable.
For more information, see
To connect the AUX port:
Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the switch.
1.
Plug the DB-9 (male) connector at the other end into the serial port of the modem.

Connecting the switch to the network through an Ethernet
twisted pair cable
The 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports of the switch support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are
connected to the network through category-5 or above twisted pairs that are equipped with RJ-45
connectors.
To connect a 10/100/1000Base-T port:
Plug one end of an Ethernet twisted pair cable into the copper Ethernet port (RJ-45 port) to be

connected on the switch.
Plug the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port of the peer device.

NOTE:
No Ethernet twisted pair cables are shipped with the switch. Prepare them yourself.
