To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:

Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.

Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
The models that support PoE provide up to four ports of either PoE (15.4 W per port; IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (30 W per
port; IEEE 802.3at), depending on the power source used. For more information, see the
page 79.
Caution: To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow standard board and component handling procedures.
To connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices, follow these steps:
1. When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP phones, connect a straight-through cable to an
RJ-45 connector on the front panel. See
When connecting to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, use a twisted four-pair, CAT5 or higher cable.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco IE 2000
Switch Software Configuration Guide or the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference.
