  • Page 9: Chapter 2: Getting To Know The Switch

    Getting to Know the Switch Overview The SFE2000 and SFE2000P models are 24-port, layer-2 Ethernet switches that expand the capability of the Linksys system. These two versions are functionally identical except the SFE2000P model offers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be used to supply power to various Linksys products over Ethernet cable.

    (Activity) LEDs flash to indicate that the Ethernet switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. • On the SFE2000, a green Link LED indicates that the port is linked to a 10/100Mbps device. • On the SFE2000P, a green Link LED indicates that PoE is active on that port.

  • Page 11: Stack Id Leds

    Reset Switch The Ethernet switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET opening. If the reset switch is held for 10 seconds or longer, the Ethernet switch will be reset to its default settings.

  • Page 12: Uplink Ports

    Uplink Ports The Switch is equipped with 4 uplink ports and 2 mini-GBIC uplink ports. G1-G4 Ports G1-G4 are Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ab) uplink ports which support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. Ports G3 and G4 are shared with GBIC1 and GBIC2 ports, respectively. If shared ports pairs are both connected, then the mini-GBIC port takes priority.

  • Page 13: Power Port

    An optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS) is connected to the RPS port. An RPS enhances the reliability of the Ethernet switch and it can keep the unit running if a power failure occurs. Only use a Linksys RPS1000 Redundant Power Supply unit and a proper RPS cable (RPSCBL1) with the Ethernet switch.

  • Page 14: Chapter 3: Connecting The Switch

    Before You Install the Switch... When you choose a location for the Ethernet switch, observe the following guidelines: • Make sure that the Ethernet switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected. • Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

  • Page 15: Placement Options

    To mount the Ethernet switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, (each Ethernet switch requires 1RU of space in the rack), follow these instructions: 1. Remove the four front screws on one side of the Ethernet switch. Retain the screws for re- installation.

  • Page 16: Wall-Mount Placement

    5. Attach the Ethernet switch to the rack using the supplied screws. Wall-Mount Placement 1. On one of the side corners, remove the four front screws on of the Ethernet switch. Retain the screws for re-installation. NOTE: The Ethernet switch, shown below, is mounted with the ports located on top.
  • Page 17 5. If you use the console interface to configure the Ethernet switch, then connect the supplied serial cable to the console port (located on the back of the Ethernet switch), and tighten the captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your PC’s serial port. (The PC must be running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)

  • Page 18: Stacking Multiple Switches

    The Stacking configuration provides multiple switch management through a single point as if all stack master and stack members were a single Ethernet switch. All stack masters are accessed through a single IP address through which the stack is managed. The stack can be managed from the web-based interface or the console interface.

  • Page 19: Connecting Cabling For Stacking

    Linksys One Ready Communications Solution By default, the Ethernet switch is in stacking mode. Using the console interface or the web interface, you can change the mode to standalone mode. TIP: Power the Ethernet switches in the order that you want them in the Stack ID.
