Timing Features
IE9320 GE Fiber (IE-9320-22S2C4X-E and IE-9320-22S2C4X-E) switches have integrated hardware support
for external time sources: GNSS antenna and Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG-B) interfaces. These
interfaces are complemented by the network time-distribution protocol Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
GNSS antenna and IRIG-B are supported in Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.12.x and later releases.

GNSS Antenna
IE9320 GE Fiber (IE-9320-22S2C4X-E and IE-9320-22S2C4X-E) switches have a built-in Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. (GNSS is often referred to as GPS.)
The receiver enables the switch to determine its own location and get an accurate time from a satellite
constellation. The switch can then become the source (Grand Master Clock) for time distribution in the network.
GNSS capability simplifies network synchronization planning and provides flexibility and resilience in
resolving network synchronization issues in a hierarchical network.

Note For information about GNSS, including guidelines and configuration, see the chapter "Global Navigation
Satellite System" in the Precision Time Protocol Configuration Guide, Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series
Switches.

The following illustration shows the placement of the GNSS receiver on the front panel of IE9320 Fiber
switches with 10 GE uplinks. The receiver is circled.

GNSS Antenna Requirements

Figure 5: GNSS Receiver

The system has an SMA connector to attach an external GNSS antenna. It can provide current-limited power
to power an active (amplified) antenna.
The GNSS receiver supports multiple satellite constellations as shown in the following table.

The following table shows the behavior of the GNSS LEDs.

LED Color System Status

GPS Off GNSS is not configured.

Solid Green Active with satellite fix.

Blinking Green Attempting to acquire satellite fix.

Blinking Amber Antenna Fault.

GNSS Antenna Requirements

GNSS RF Input
GNSS input requires a GPS/GNSS receive antenna with built-in low-noise amplifier (LNA) for optimal
performance. The LNA amplifies the received satellite signals:
• To ccompensate for cable loss
• To increase the signal amplitude to a suitable range for the receiver front-end
The amplification required is 22dB gain + cable loss + connector loss.
The recommended range of LNA gain (LNA gain minus all cable and connector losses) at the connector
of the receiver input is 22dB to 30dB with a minimum of 20dB and a maximum of 35dB.
• The GPS/GNSS input on the switch provides 3.3 or 5VDC (software configurable) to the antenna through
the same RF connector. The antenna should draw between 10 and 100mA. An antenna that draws less
than 10mA may wrongly report and "Antenna Open" fault even though the antenna is operating properly.

Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

14
 Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches
Power Input

Power Input
When deployed in a hazardous environment the antenna shall only use power provided by the RF input from
a single switch. No additional power may be supplied to the antenna and associated equipment.

Caution Supplying additional power, such as with a powered splitter or amplified repeater, may provide enough energy
to create an arc that could ignite the explosive atmosphere.
Attention :
L’ajout d’un dispositif d’alimentation électrique, comme un répartiteur électrique ou un répéteur amplifié,
peut générer suffisamment d’énergie pour créer un arc qui pourrait enflammer une atmosphère présentant un
risque d’explosion.

Surge Protection
The GNSS input has built-in ESD protection. If an outdoor antenna is being connected, additional surge
protectionis required to meet the regulations and standards for lightning protection in the countries where the
end product is installed.
The lightning protection must be mounted at the place where the antenna cable enters the building. The primary
lightning protection must be certified for conducting all potentially dangerous electrical energy to PE (protective
earth). Surge arrestors should support DC-pass and be suitable for the GPS/GNSS frequency range with low
RF attenuation.

Caution The antenna terminal should be earthed at the building entrance in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 70, the
National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a
Coaxial Cable.
Attention :
La borne de l’antenne doit être mise à la terre à l’entrée du bâtiment conformément à la norme ANSI/NFPA
70 et au National Electrical Code (NEC), en particulier l’article 820.93, « Grounding of Outer Conductive
Shield of a Coaxial Cable » (mise à la terre du blindage externe conducteur d’un câble coaxial).

Antenna Sky Visibility

GPS signals require a direct line of sight between antenna and satellite. The antenna should see as much of
the sky as possible. Fixed installations require four satellites in view for an initial time fix, while subsequent
updates may be possible with fewer satellites.

IRIG Timecode
(IE-9320-22S2C4X-E and IE-9320-22S2C4X-E) switchess have IRIG-B timecode input and output capability.
The IRIG-B time protocol is widely used to establish and maintain time synchronization between system
devices. It is supported beginning with the Cisco IOS XE 17.12.1 release.

Note For detailed information about IRIG-B, including configuration information, see the chapter "IRIG Time
Code B" in the Precision Time Protocol Configuration Guide, Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches.

SFP Installation
This section presents procedures to install and remove fiber-optic and 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver modules.
SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the switch.
You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP
module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable
communications.

SFP Installation Considerations and Guidelines

Observe the following guidelines when installing SFP modules in the switch.

General Guidelines
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any module
more often than absolutely necessary.

Caution To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow standard board and component handling procedures.
Attention :
Pour éviter les dommages causés par les décharges électrostatiques (ESD), suivez les procédures standard de
manipulation de la carte et des composants.

Caution Do not install or remove the SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached. Doing so could result in damage
to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before
removing or installing an SFP module.
Attention :
Ne pas installer ni retirer le module SFP lorsque des câbles à fibre optique sont branchés. Cela pourrait
endommager les câbles, le connecteur de câble ou les interfaces optiques du module SFP. Avant le retrait ou
l’installation d’un module SFP, déconnectez tous les câbles.

SFP Installation Considerations and Guidelines

Power Guidelines

Caution The uplink SFP and SFP+ ports support up to 4 W of total SFP power. Most SFP modules draw 1 W or less
and allow use of all four SFP uplinks. When installing higher power modules, ensure that the total rated power
draw remains below 4 W. When installing modules that draw higher than 1 W, leave at least one empty slot
between them.
Attention :
Les ports de liaison ascendante SFP et SFP+ prennent en charge jusqu’à 4 W d’alimentation SFP totale. La
plupart des modules SFP consomment 1 W ou moins et permettent l’utilisation des quatre liaisons ascendantes
SFP. Lors de l’installation de modules d’alimentation de plus grande puissance, assurez-vous que la puissance
nominale totale reste inférieure à 4 W. Lors de l’installation de modules dont la consommation est supérieure
à 1 W, laissez au moins un logement vide entre eux.

Caution The following requirement applies only to installations in a hazardous location where an explosive atmosphere
may be present.
Do not insert and remove SFP modules while power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Statement 1087
Attention :
L’exigence suivante s’applique uniquement aux installations dans un emplacement dangereux où il y a une
atmosphère présentant un risque d’explosion.
N’insérez pas et ne retirez pas les modules SFP lorsque l’appareil est sous tension; un arc électrique peut se
produire. Cela risque d’entraîner une explosion dans les installations situées dans des emplacements dangereux.
Avant de poursuivre, assurez-vous que l’alimentation est coupée ou que la zone est sécurisée. Énoncé 1087

Temperature Considerations
Some SFP modules are not rated to work at very low temperatures.

Caution Depending on the SFP module you use, the operating temperature limits may be affected. Choose an SFP
module appropriate to the installed environment. For a complete list of supported SFP modules, see the Cisco
Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Data Sheet on Cisco.com.
Attention :
Selon le module SFP utilisé, les limites de température de fonctionnement peuvent être affectées. Sélectionnez
un module SFP approprié à l’environnement où il est installé. Pour obtenir une liste complète des modules
SFP pris en charge, consultez la fiche technique des commutateurs robustes de la gamme Cisco Catalyst

Guidance for Connecting to SFP Modules

Note Different Cisco devices have different SFP transceiver socket configurations. Your Cisco device might
require that the SFP transceiver be installed with the bale-clasp either in a latch-up or a latch-down orientation.
Verify that you have the SFP transceiver oriented correctly when you position it in front of the port socket.

Step 5 With the bale-clasp closed (locked), slide the SFP transceiver into the socket until you feel it snap in place in the socket.
You may hear an audible click as the SFP transceiver latch engages in the socket.

Step 6 Connect the network interface cable RJ-45 plug to the SFP RJ-45 connector.
Step 7 Observe the port status LED:
• Green indicates that the SFP transceiver and the target device established a link.
• Amber indicates that the port is discovering the network topology and searching for loops.
This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
• Off indicates that the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a
problem with the adapter installed in the target device. Refer to Troubleshooting for solutions to cabling problems.

Step 7 Close the cover, and then hand-tighten the screw.

Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports

The Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328
feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6
UTP, or later cable. The 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category 4 cable.

Note Use shielded Ethernet cables to improve EMI/EMC performance.

The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default on the switch. At this setting, the switch ports configure
themselves to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the device does not support autonegotiation, you
can set the switch port speed and duplex parameters. To maximize performance, either let the ports autonegotiate
both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information about autonegotiation and auto-MDIX.
For simplified cabling, the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled
by default. With auto-MDIX enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections
and configures the interface accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable
for connections to an Ethernet port, regardless of the type of connected device.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Cables and Adapters to select the cable for connecting the
Ethernet ports to other devices.
When using PoE/PoE+, those ports have the same autonegotiation settings and cabling requirements as those
in the Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports. These ports provide PoE power.

Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

46
Switch Installation
Connecting Devices to the Ethernet Ports

See the section Cables and Connectors for information on the cables and connectors.
The ports provide PoE/PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power to a connected PoE
powered device (PD).

Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid
using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted
access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location
are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a
special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072
Avertissement :
Les risques de décharge électrique sont présents sur des circuits d’alimentation par Ethernet (PoE)
si des interconnexions sont effectuées en utilisant du matériel métallique exposé, des conducteurs,
ou des terminaux. Évitez d’utiliser de telles méthodes d’interconnexion, à moins que les pièces
métalliques exposées se trouvent dans un emplacement d’accès restreint et que les utilisateurs et le
personnel de soutien dont l’accès à l’emplacement restreint est autorisé soient avisés du risque. Une
zone à accès limité est accessible uniquement si vous utilisez des outils, des clés et des verrous
spéciaux ou d’autres moyens de protection. Énoncé 1072

Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the
cables to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.
Attention :
Les câbles de catégories 5e et 6 peuvent contenir des niveaux élevés d’électricité statique. Procédez

Power Supply Installation

This chapter describes how to remove and install a new or replacement power supply. Your switch ships with
at least one power-supply module (AC or DC, depending on your order).
The power-supply modules are field-replaceable units (FRUs) and are hot-swappable when deployed in
nonhazardous locations.
For translations of the safety warnings in this chapter, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
for the Cisco IE9300 Rugged Series Switches on Cisco.com.

Power Supply Modules

This section contains information about the power supply modules compatible with the switch.
All the power supply modules in the following table are compliant for hazardous environments.

Note For detailed specifications of the products in the preceding table, see the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series
Switch data sheet.

The 250- and 400-watt power supplies provide a higher PoE power budget on IE9310 and IE9320 systems
that support PoE. These higher capacity supplies are also compatible with optical and non-PoE copper systems,
although the higher capacity is not necessary for operation.

Note The power supplies in the preceding table are recommended for new installations. The older
PWR-RGD-LOW-DC and PWR-RGD-AC-DC power supplies (without the -H suffix) are supported for users
who already own them. However, these older supplies are not approved for use in hazardous locations and
must not be used in HazLoc applications.

The following illustration shows a PWR-RGD-AC-DC-H power supply. The PWR-RGD-LOW-DC-H power
supply appears identical; the only visual difference is the label. The PWR-RGD-AC-DC-250 power supply
is similar to the other power supplies. However, it extends 30 mm (1.18 inches) from the rear of the switch.
The PWR-RGD-AC-DC-400 switch also is similar to other power supplies, but extends 39.88 mm (1.57
inches) from the rear of the switch.

Diagnosing Problems
The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show boot fast failures,
port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from Web UI, the
CLI, or an SNMP workstation. See the appropriate configuration guide, or the documentation that came with
your SNMP application for details.

Switch Boot Fast

Contact your Cisco TAC representative if your switch does not successfully boot.

Note You can disable boot fast and run POST by using the Cisco IOS CLI. See the appropriate configuration guide
for more information.

Switch LEDs
Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See details about LEDs colors and their
meanings In the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches, on page 1 chapter.

Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

77
 Troubleshooting
Switch Connections

Switch Connections
Bad or Damaged Cable
Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at
the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors. You
can identify this problem because the port has many packet errors or it constantly flaps. That is, it loses and
regains the link.
• Exchange the copper or fiber-optic cable with a known good cable.
• Look for broken or missing pins on cable connectors.
• Rule out any bad patch panel connections or media converters between the source and the destination.
If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media converters (fiber-optic-to-copper).
• Try the cable in another port to see if the problem follows the cable.

Ethernet and Fiber-Optic Cables

Make sure that you have the correct cable:
• For Ethernet, use Category 3 or better copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category
5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100/1000 Mb/s, and PoE connections.
• Verify that you have the correct fiber-optic cable for the distance and port type. Make sure that the
connected device ports match and use the same type encoding, optical frequency, and fiber type.
• Determine if a copper crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required or the reverse.
Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable.

Link Status
Verify that both sides have a link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show a link even
though the other side does not have a link.
A port LED that is on does not guarantee that the cable is functional. It might have encountered physical
stress, causing it to function at a marginal level. If the port LED does not turn on:
• Connect the cable from the switch to a known good device.
• Make sure that both ends of the cable are connected to the correct ports.
• Verify that both devices have power.
• Verify that you are using the correct cable type. See Cables and Connectors for information.
• Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable, and
then reconnect it.

 Troubleshooting
10/100/1000/2500 Port Connections

10/100/1000/2500 Port Connections

If a port appears to malfunction:
• Verify the status of all ports by checking the LEDs. For more information, see sections about the different
panel features in the chapter Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches, on page 1.
• See the show interfaces command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down. Re-enable
the port if necessary.
• Verify the cable type. See the chapter Cables and Connectors, on page 87.

SFP Module
Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security
information. This encoding verifies that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
• Inspect the SFP module. Exchange the suspect module with a known good module.
• Verify that the module is supported on this platform. (The switch release notes on Cisco.com list the SFP
modules that the switch supports.)
• Use the show interfaces command to see if the port or module is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown.
Reenable the port if needed.
• Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.

Interface Settings
Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either side
of the link, it does not come up until you reenable the interface. Use the show interfaces command to see if
the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the connection. If needed, reenable the
interface.

Ping End Device

Ping from the directly connected switch first, and then work your way back port by port, interface by interface,
trunk by trunk, until you find the source of the connectivity issue. Make sure that each switch can identify
the end device MAC address in its Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) table.

Spanning Tree Loops

ASpanning Tree Protocol (STP) loops can cause serious performance issues that look like port or interface
problems.
A unidirectional link can cause loops. It occurs when the traffic sent by the switch is received by the neighbor,
but the traffic from the neighbor is not received by the switch. A broken cable, other cabling problems, or a
port issue can cause this one-way communication.
You can enable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the switch to help identify unidirectional link
problems. For information about enabling UDLD on the switch, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in
the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

 Troubleshooting
Switch Performance

Switch Performance
Speed, Duplex, and Autonegotiation
Port statistics that show a large number of alignment errors, frame check sequence (FCS), or late-collisions
errors, might mean a speed or duplex mismatch.
A common issue occurs when duplex and speed settings are mismatched between two switches, between a
switch and a router, or between the switch and a workstation or server. Mismatches can happen when manually
setting the speed and duplex or from autonegotiation issues between the two devices.
To maximize switch performance and to ensure a link, follow one of these guidelines when changing the
duplex or the speed settings.
• Let both ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Manually set the speed and duplex parameters for the interfaces on both ends of the connection.
• If a remote device does not autonegotiate, use the same duplex settings on the two ports. The speed
parameter adjusts itself even if the connected port does not autonegotiate.

Autonegotiation and Network Interface Cards

Problems sometimes occur between the switch and third-party network interface cards (NICs). By default,
the switch ports and interfaces autonegotiate. Laptops or other devices are commonly set to autonegotiate,
yet sometimes issues occur.
To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does not
solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on the NIC. You can resolve this
by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.

Cabling Distance
If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable distance
from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines. See the chapter Cables and
Connectors, on page 87.

Reset the Switch

These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch to the factory default settings:
• You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP
address.
• You want to reset the password on the switch.

Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

80
 Troubleshooting
Recovering Passwords

Note Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

Caution If you press the Express Setup button when you power on, the automatic boot sequence stops, and the switch
enters bootloader mode.
Attention :
Si vous appuyez sur le bouton de configuration express lors de la mise sous tension, la séquence de démarrage
automatique s’arrête et le commutateur passe en mode de chargeur de démarrage.

Step 1 Press and hold the Express Setup button (recessed behind a small hole in the faceplate) for about 10 seconds with a paper
clip or similar object.
The switch reboots. The system LED turns green after the switch completes rebooting.

Step 2 Press the Express Setup button again for 3 seconds.

A switch 10/100/1000 Ethernet port blinks green.

What to do next
The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup
procedure described in the chapter Configuring the Switch with the CLI Setup Program.

Recovering Passwords
Password recovery is a feature that a system administrator can enable or disable. If password recovery is
disabled, the only way to recover from a lost or forgotten password is to clear the switch configuration entirely.
The software configuration guides provide details about enabling and disabling the password recovery feature
and the procedure for recovering passwords.

Enabling Secure Data Wipe

Secure data wipe is a Cisco wide initiative to ensure storage devices on all IOS XE based platforms are properly
purged using NIST SP 800-88r1 compliant secure erase commands.
This feature is supported in Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1 and later on the following IoT switches for all license
levels:
• IE9310
• IE9320

When secure data wipe is enabled, everything in flash, SDflash, and USB flash is erased, including:

Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

81
 Troubleshooting
Enabling Secure Data Wipe

• User configuration and passwords

• Cisco IOS XE image
• Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC)
• rommon variables
• ACT2 Secure Storage

The switch will be in rommon prompt with default factory settings (baud rate 9600) after the command is
executed. The internal flash memory will not get formatted until the IOS image is rebooted.

Note If an sdflash/usbflash with a valid image inserted, the device will boot with the image in the external media
based on the boot precedence. The device will be in rommon only if no external media with an image is
inserted in the device.

Performing a Secure Data Wipe

To enable secure data wipe, enter the factory-reset all secure command in priviledged exec mode, as shown
in the following example:
Switch#factory-reset all secure
The factory reset operation is irreversible for securely reset all. Are you sure? [confirm]

The following will be deleted as a part of factory reset: NIST SP-800-88r1

1: Crash info and logs
2: User data, startup and running configuration
3: All IOS images, including the current boot image
4: OBFL logs
5: User added rommon variables
6: Data on Field Replaceable Units(USB/SD/SSD/SATA)
7: License usage log files
Note:
Secure erase logs/reports will be stored in flash.
The system will reload to perform factory reset.
It will take some time to complete and bring it to rommon.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE POWER OR INTERRUPT THE OPERATION
