(Mini-GBICs) High-Speed Stack Connections The switch has rear‐panel connectors for high‐speed connections in a stack configuration. The high‐speed stacking cables used for the connections are optional items and must be ordered separately. There are two types of cables: • a C2CAB‐SHORT cable to connect two adjacent switches in the stack, and • a C2CAB‐LONG cable to connect from the top switch to the bottom switch in the stack. You need only one C2CAB‐LONG cable per stack. 1-4 Introduction C2H124-48P Stackable Switch Ã Â Æ Ç È É Mini-GBIC port status LEDs Two ports for stack connections Password Reset switch AC power input connector 10 Redundant power supply (RPS) DC connector Å...
Redundant Power Supply Capability The switch has power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional external redundant power supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the RPS assumes the entire load of the switch without interrupting network traffic. The internal power supply and RPS each have their own AC power connection, which enables the connection of each power supply to a different AC power circuit for additional AC power source redundancy. PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support The switch is 802.3af compliant, which means it can provide power over Ethernet cable connections from its 48, RJ45 front panel connectors to PDs in the network. Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to provide 48 Vdc power to a powered device using the same Ethernet cabling that provides data. Modern Ethernet implementations employ differential signals over twisted pair cables. This requires a minimum of two twisted pairs for a single physical link. Both ends of the cable are isolated with transformers blocking any DC or common mode voltage on the signal pair. PoE exploits this fact by using two twisted pairs as the two conductors to supply a direct current. One pair carries the power supply current and the other pair provides a path for the return current. While several proprietary legacy implementations of PoE have been deployed by LAN equipment vendors, in 2003 the IEEE published the IEEE 802.3af‐2003 specification, which is part of the 802.3 suite of standards. The switch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. It supports the standard resistor based detection method, as well as AC disconnect capability. The switch is also capable of supplying 7.5 Watts of power to all ports simultaneously. Each PD (Powered Device) has a PDC (Powered Device Classification) that is transmitted to the switch for power management purposes. Table classifications and the associated power ranges.

Ethernet network requirements for the switches to operate at 100 Mbps. Note: When using the fixed ports on the switch for 100 Mbps operation use Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 100 Mbps operation. The fixed switch ports are capable of operating at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. This is accomplished by the switch when Auto-Negotiation is enabled.
1000BASE-T Network 1000BASE-T Network The C2G124‐48P, RJ45 fixed front panel connectors support RJ45 copper 1000BASE‐T compliant connections. The Mini‐GBIC port sockets on the C2G124‐48P and C2H124‐48P support optional SFP MGBIC‐02 for RJ45 copper 1000BASE‐T connections. When connecting a 1000BASE‐T segment to one of the RJ45 fixed ports or to an optional MGBIC‐02, use Category 5 UTP cabling. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3‐2002 1000BASE‐T Gigabit Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 1000 Mbps.

Connecting High-Speed Stacking Cables The stack of switches can be connected in a ring or daisy chain topology. In a ring topology all the switches are connected. The only difference in the cable connections in a daisy chain topology is that one cable is not installed. Up to 8 switches can be stacked together using C2CAB‐SHORT and C2CAB‐LONG high‐speed stacking cables. You can add switches and reach up to a maximum of 384 Ethernet ports per stack. The high‐speed stacking cables allow the entire stack to operate with a single IP address. 3-10 Hardware Installation Attaching the Rackmount Brackets Fastening the Switch to the Rack 2 M3 x 6 mm flathead screws 3‐6.

There are two types of cables: • C2CAB-SHORT cable to connect two adjacent switches in the stack. • C2CAB-LONG cable to connect from the top switch to the bottom switch in the stack. You only need one C2CAB-LONG cable per stack.
Configuring Switches in a Stack After connecting the cables to the stacking ports, proceed to “Connecting AC and PoE Power” on page 3‐15 for instructions. Configuring Switches in a Stack The information in the following sections is important to understand C2 switch operation and installations in a stack installation. About SecureStack C2 Switch Operation in a Stack The SecureStack C2 products are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight C2 switches. Once installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network expands. You can also mix different products in the family in a single stack to provide a desired combination of port types and functions to match the requirements of individual applications. In all cases, a stack of switches performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in“Connecting High‐Speed Stacking Cables” on page 3‐10, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack. ...
The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.
• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.
Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to details If the switch is a standalone unit, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack. PoE Power If you are installing an optional SecureStack C2 PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐...
Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all high-speed stacking cables are connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active.

(MGBIC‐MT01). Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable: • Transmit (TX) • Receive (RX) The transmit strand from a device port connects to the receive port of a fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable MT‐RJ port connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device. Enterasys Networks recommends labeling fiber‐optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are pre‐labeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable. To connect an MT‐RJ cable to a fixed MT‐RJ connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure and proceed as follows: Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the front panel MT‐RJ fiber‐optic port (port 21 in this example) and from the connectors on each end of the cable. Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent contamination. Connecting to the Network 3‐18 ...
Connecting to the Network Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean.
Check that the fiber‐optic connection meets the dB loss and cable specifications outlined in the Cabling Guide for multimode cabling. To obtain this document, refer to “Related Documents” on page xvi. If a link has not been established, refer to Chapter a problem persists, refer to “Getting Help” on page 1‐7 for details on contacting Enterasys Networks for support. Repeat steps 1 through 4, above, until all connections have been made. Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to LC Ports Warning: Do not use optical instruments to view laser output.
