Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached
devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex
parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters
manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
•
•
Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through
the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072
You can configure the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the switch to either automatically provide
PoE when a Cisco IP Phone, Cisco Aironet Access Point, or end device compliant with IEEE 802.3af is
connected. Alternatively, you can configure them to never provide PoE, even if an IP phone or an access
point is connected. The default setting is Auto. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and
component handling procedures.
Use the guidelines in
10/100/1000 ports to other devices. See the
cable-pinout descriptions.
