Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management
Solution (SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it
from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or
SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with
embedded Cisco Networking Services agents in the switch software. You can use IE2100 to automate
initial configurations and configuration updates on the switch.
See the "Accessing Help Online" section on page 21 for a list of supporting documentation.

Rack-Mounting
This section covers basic 19-inch rack-mounting and switch port connections. As an example, all the
illustrations show the Catalyst 3560E-48 PoE switch. You can install and connect other
Catalyst 3560-E switches as shown in these illustrations. For additional installation and cabling
information, see the hardware installation guide on Cisco.com.

Equipment That You Supply

You need a Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.

Before You Begin

Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:
• Clearance to front and rear panels is such that
Front-panel indicators can be easily read.
–
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
–
• For switches that support the RPS 2300, confirm that you have access to the switch rear panel to
connect the RPS 2300. If you do not have access to the rear panel, you should cable the switches
before you rack-mount them.
• For switches with the optional 1150-W power supply module (model C3K-PWR-1150WAC), first
rack-mount the switch before installing the power supply module.
• AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.
