Connecting Network Devices

To connect the managed switch to the network:
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.
Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered managed switch Ethernet ports.
The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to
Features of the Cisco Small Business Managed Switch, page 10
for details about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is
connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Considerations

If your switch is one of the PoE models, consider the following:
As a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) device, the switch can deliver a
maximum of 15.4 Watts per PoE port to a PD (Powered Device).
