Connecting Network Devices; Power Over Ethernet Considerations - Cisco SF250-24-K9 Quick Start Manual

Connecting Network Devices

3
To connect the smart switch to the network:
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,
S 1
TEP
printer, network storage, or other network device.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the
S 2
TEP
numbered smart switch Ethernet ports.
The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to
Features of the Cisco 250 Series Smart Switches
about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.
Repeat
S 3
TEP
the smart switch.
Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit
N
OTE
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 the attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it
is connected. This is normal behavior.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without
W
ARNING
routing to the outside plant.
If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the
following power requirement:
