Connecting Switches

All the switches (Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 series switches and the Catalyst 2900
series XL switches) can use:
•
One-to-one cable for quasi-redundancy
•
One-to-one cable with the switch AC power cable connected for redundancy with
reboot
•
Two-to-one Y-cable for full redundancy
•
Two-to-one Y-cable with the switch AC power cable connected for redundancy with
reboot
Depending on when it was manufactured, a Catalyst 1900 series switch (WS-C1900,
Note

information, contact Cisco Customer Service at 800 553-6387 or 408 526-7209.
