Install The Sfp Or Sfp+ Modules; Verify Port Connectivity - Cisco Catalyst 2360 Getting Started Manual

Connecting to the Switch Ports
The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. The
Note
switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a
copper 10/100/1000 module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the
connection.

Install the SFP or SFP+ Modules

The Catalyst 2360 switch has four SFP+ module slots. These slots support both SFP and SFP+ modules.

the switch slot until you feel the connector snap
into place.
Step 2 Connect an appropriate cable to the module port.
Connect the other cable end to the other device.
For a list of supported modules, see the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on
installing, removing, and connecting to SFP modules, see the documentation that came with the SFP
module.

modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Verify Port Connectivity

After you connect the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch
establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. If the LED turns
off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem
with the adapter installed in the target device. See the
information about online assistance.
