Connecting To Sfp Modules - Cisco Catalyst 2960 Hardware Installation Manual

Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)
Figure 2-16
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on
when both the switch and the connected device have established link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for
loops. This can take up to 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn
on, the device at the other end might not be turned on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem
with the adapter installed in the attached device. See
cabling problems.
Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
