  • Page 1 Quick Start Guide Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches...
  • Page 2 Welcome Thank you for choosing the Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch, a Cisco network communications device. This device is designed to be operational right out of the box as a standard layer 2 and 3 switch. In the factory default configuration, it will forward packets between connecting devices after power up.
  • Page 3 Mounting the Cisco Stackable Managed Switch There are two ways to physically install the switch: • Set the switch on a flat surface. • Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit). Do not deploy the device in a location where any of the following conditions exist: High Ambient Temperature—Refer to the following table for the high...

  • Page 4: Rack-Mount Placement

    Reduced Air Flow—Both side panels must be unobstructed to prevent overheating. Mechanical Overloading—The device should be level, stable, and secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position. Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.

  • Page 5: Connecting Network Devices

    Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit 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.

Due to the support of legacy PoE, it is possible that a PoE switch acting as a PSE may mistakenly detect and supply power to an attaching PSE, including other PoE switches, as a legacy PD.

    IP address of 192.168.1.254. Stacking the Switches Before configuring the switches as a stack, refer to the Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide for additional details. Refer to the front panel graphics in...
  • Page 11 Switches in the same stack are connected together through their stack ports. Depending on the type of stack ports and the desired speed, you may need regular Cat5 or better Ethernet cables and/or Cisco approved modules or cables for the 500 Series switches.
  • Page 12 Changing the stack mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch. Stack Unit Modes Devices can operate in one of the following Stack Unit modes: • Standalone—The device is not connected to any other device and does not have a stack port. •...
  • Page 13 Stack Configuration Options The following describes some typical stack configurations: Possible Stack Configuration Stack Ports Speed SG500Xs in Native Stacking mode. 1G/10G or 1G/5G Sx500s in Native Stacking mode. 1G/5G (default) or 1G Copper/ SFP (Combo) SG500Xs and Sx500s in Basic 1G/5G Hybrid mode, where either device can serve as master, backup, or slave.

    Gigabit LED (if present)—(Green) Located on the right of a GE port. Lights steady when another device is connected to the port, is powered on, and a 1000 Mbps link is established between the devices. When the LED is off, the connection speed is under 1000 Mbps or nothing is cabled to the port.

  • Page 20: Troubleshoot Your Connection

    Troubleshoot Your Connection If you cannot access your switch from the web-based interface, the switch might not be reachable from your computer. You can test network connections by using ping on a computer running Windows: Open the Terminal application. Enter the ping command and the switch IP address. For example ping 192.168.1.254 (the default IP address of the switch).
  • Page 21 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: Most connections will be available in a few seconds. Due to the standard spanning tree loop detection logic, adding new connections might take 30 to 60 seconds for the affected interfaces and/or LAN to become operational.
