Front Panel Ports - Cisco 300 Quick Start Manual

No IP route:
If the switch and your computer are in different IP subnets, you need
one or more routers to route the packets between the two subnets.
Unusually long access time:
Due to the standard spanning tree loop detection logic, adding new
connections may take 30 to 60 seconds for the affected interfaces
and/or LAN to become operational.

Managed Switch
This section describes the exterior of the managed switches including
ports, LEDs, and connections.

Front Panel Ports

The ports and LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
RJ-45 Ethernet Ports—Use these ports to connect network devices, such
as computers, printers, and access points, to the switch.
MiniGBIC (if present)—The miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) ports are
connection points for miniGBIC modules, so the managed switch can
uplink to other switches by using optical fiber.
• MiniGBIC ports are compatible with Cisco miniGBIC modules MGBSX1,
MGBLH1, MGBLX1, MGBBX1, MFELX1, MFEFX1, and MFEBX1, as well as
other brands of miniGBIC modules.
• MiniGBIC interface is a combination port, shared with one other RJ-45
interface. When the MiniGBIC is active, the adjacent RJ-45 port is
disabled.
• The LEDs of the corresponding RJ-45 port light to respond to the
miniGBIC interface traffic.
