Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
The dual-purpose port is a single port with two interfaces, one for an RJ-45 cable and another for an SFP
module. Only one interface can be active at a time. If both interfaces are connected, the SFP module has
priority.
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
Caution
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables
from contamination and ambient light.
Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling stipulations in
the
To connect to a dual-purpose port, follow these steps:
Connect an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot,
Step 1
and connect a cable to the SFP module port.
For more information about RJ-45 connections, SFP modules, and optical connections, see the
"Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports" section on page
Modules" section on page
Connect the other end of the cable to the other device.
Step 2
By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose
port and configures the port accordingly. You can change this setting and configure the port to recognize
only an RJ-45 connector or only an SFP module by using the media type interface configuration
command. For more information, see the Cisco IE 4000 Switch Command Reference.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in its final location, power on the switch, and verify that the switch powers
up in boot fast style. The boot fast sequence allows the switch to boot up in less than 60 seconds.

Where to Go Next

If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use
any of these management options to change the default configuration:
•

Start Device Manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone
switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You
can access Device Manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more
information, see the Software Configuration Guide and the Device Manager online help.
