Product Overview ACTV LED Color Description Blinking green This appears on the switch in a StackPower ring configuration that detects an open ring or has only one StackPower cable connected. Amber There is a fault: load shedding is occurring, a StackPower cable is defective, or an administrative action is required.
LED blinks green to show that this is switch 3 in the stack. PoE LED The PoE LED indicates the status of the PoE mode: either PoE, PoE+, or Cisco UPOE. Table 10: PoE LED Color Description PoE mode is not selected. None of the 10/100/1000 ports have been denied power or are in a fault condition.
Link is off due to a fault or because it has exceeded a limit set in the switch software. Caution Link faults occur when noncompliant cabling is connected to an SFP/SFP+ port. Use only standard-compliant cabling to connect to Cisco SFP/SFP+ ports. You must remove from the network any cable or device that causes a link fault. Amber Link for the SFP/SFP+ has been disabled.

Switch Installation Safety Warnings Warning Do not stack the chassis on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can cause severe bodily injury and equipment damage. Statement 48 Warning Ethernet cables must be shielded when used in a central office environment. Statement 171 Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
• AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel. • The pluggable transceiver module minimum bend radius and connector length is met. See the Cisco pluggable transceiver module documentation for more information.
Box Contents The switch getting started guide describes the box contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support. Tools and Equipment Obtain these necessary tools: • A Number-2 Phillips screwdriver.
If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you need the 1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, StackWise Ports, on page 25.
Switch Installation Data Stack Cabling Configurations Data Stack Cabling Configurations This is an example of a recommended configuration that uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. In this example, the switches are stacked in a vertical rack or on a table. This configuration provides redundant connections.
Switch Installation Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks Figure 21: Example of a Data Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections The figures below show data stacks of switches with failover conditions. In this figure, the StackWise cable is bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections. Figure 22: Example of a Data Stack with a Failover Condition In this figure, link 2 is bad.
Following the failure of a power supply, the StackPower mode becomes power sharing. Note Power-sharing mode is the recommended configuration for Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches . For general concepts and management procedures for switch power stacks, see the Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
• Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables. If you do not specify the length of the StackPower cable, the 0.3 meter cable is supplied. If you need the 1.5 meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, see StackPower Connector, on page 30.

Configuring the Switch Configuring Basic Device Settings Procedure Step 1 In the Device ID and Location Settings section, type a unique name to identify your device in the network. Step 2 Choose the date and time settings for your device. To synchronize your device with a valid outside timing mechanism, such as an NTP clock source, choose Automatic, or choose Manual to set it yourself.
To ease your configuration tasks and save time, choose a site profile based on where your device may be installed and managed in your network. Based on the site profile you choose, your device is automatically configured according to Cisco best practices. You can easily modify this default configuration, from the corresponding detailed configuration screens.

Configuring the Switch Configure STP Settings Step 2 To configure a data VLAN, ensure that the Data VLAN check box is checked, type a name for your VLAN, and assign a VLAN ID to it. If you are creating several VLANs, indicate only a VLAN range. Step 3 To configure a voice VLAN, ensure that the Voice VLAN check box is checked, type a name for your VLAN, and assign a VLAN ID to it.
Configuring the Switch Configuring Port Settings Step 6 In the Management Details section, type an IP address to identify the SNMP server. SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 are supported on your device. Step 7 Specify the SNMP community string to permit access to the SNMP protocol. Figure 84: DHCP, NTP, DNS and SNMP Settings What to do next Configure port settings.

Configuring the Switch Configuring the Switch Using the CLI Procedure Step 1 From the WebUI, navigate through Administration > Device and select the General page. Step 2 In the VTY Line field, enter 0-30. Figure 87: Configuring VTY Line Configuring the Switch Using the CLI Accessing the CLI Through the Console Port You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the RJ-45 console port or USB console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation...
If you are connecting the switch USB console port to a Windows-based PC for the first time, install the USB driver. See Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver, on page 105. USB Type A port on the switch provides file system support and is NOT a console port. See USB Note Type A Port section.

Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows 7 USB Driver Procedure Step 1 Obtain the Cisco USB console driver file from the Cisco.com web site and unzip it. You can download the driver file from the Cisco.com site for downloading the switch software. Note Step 2 If using 32-bit Windows 7, double-click the setup.exe file in the Windows_32 folder.
Step 1 Run setup.exe for Windows 32-bit or setup(x64).exe for Windows-64bit. Click Next. Step 2 The InstallShield Wizard for Cisco Virtual Com appears. Click Next. Step 3 When the Program Maintenance window appears, select the Remove radio button. Click Next.
You can also get statistics from Device Manager, from the CLI, or from an SNMP workstation. Switch POST Results POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does not pass POST. Switch LEDs If you have physical access to the switch, look at the port LEDs for troubleshooting information about the switch.
Troubleshooting Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables • Remove and inspect the stack cable and stack port for bent pins or damaged connectors. If the cable is bad, replace it with a known good cable. Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables Make sure that you have the correct cable for the connection. •...
SFP and SFP+ Module Use only Cisco SFP or SFP+ modules in the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
Troubleshooting Switch Performance You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link problems. Switch Performance Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation If the port statistics show a large amount of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions errors, this might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.
Replacing a Failed Data Stack Member Procedure Step 1 If you are using Cisco IOS XE Release 3E or later releases, enter the erase startup-config privileged EXEC command to clear the contents of your startup configuration. Step 2 Press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs blink after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs above the Mode button turn green.
