 THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT
NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT
ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION
PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO
LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Product Overview

This chapter provides the following topics that describe the

Catalyst 2900 series XL switches, hereafter referred to as the switches.
• Switch features, including management options
• Descriptions of the front and rear panels
• Descriptions of the LEDs

Features
The switches are stackable 10/100 Ethernet switches to which you can connect
workstations, Cisco IP Phones, and other network devices such as servers,
routers, and other switches. The 2900 XL LRE switches employ Long-Reach
Ethernet (LRE), a very-high-data-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL)-based
technology that allows an Ethernet network to reach distances up to 4921 feet
(1500 meters). The switches can be deployed as backbone switches, aggregating
10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet traffic from other network devices.
The Catalyst 2900 XL switches have these features:
• Autonegotiates speed and duplex operation on all 10/100 ports
• Operates in full-duplex mode on all 100BASE-FX ports
• Checks for errors on a received packet, determines the destination port, stores
the packet in shared memory, and then forwards the packet to the destination
port

Features

Management Interface Options

The Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches are designed for
plug-and-play operation: you only need to assign basic IP information to the
switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have specific
network needs, you can configure and monitor the switch—on an individual basis
or as part of a switch cluster—through its various management interfaces.
You can configure and monitor individual switches and switch clusters by using
the following interfaces:
• Cluster Management Suite (CMS)—CMS is a graphical user interface that
can be launched from anywhere in your network through a web browser such
as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. CMS is already
installed on the switch, and no additional installation is required. Using CMS,
you can fully configure and monitor a standalone switch, a specific cluster
member, or an entire switch cluster. You can also display network topologies
to gather link information, and display switch images to modify switch- and
port-level settings.
• Command-line Interface (CLI)—The switch CLI Cisco IOS software and is
enhanced to support desktop-switching features. You can fully configure and
monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI. You can access
the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch
console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)—SNMP provides a means to
monitor and control the switch and switch cluster members. You can manage
switch configuration settings, performance, security, and collect statistics by
using SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN
Management Suite (LMS) and HP OpenView.
You can manage the switch from an SNMP-compatible management station
that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The
switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and four Remote
Monitoring (RMON) groups.
For more information about CMS, the CLI, and SNMP refer to the Catalyst
2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.

10/100 Ports
The 10/100 switch ports (see Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-4) can connect to any
compatible network device up to 328 feet (100 meters) away:
• 10BASE-T-compatible devices, such as workstations, Cisco IP Phones, and
hubs through standard RJ-45 connectors and Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling
• 100BASE-TX-compatible devices, such as high-speed workstations,
Cisco IP Phones, servers, hubs, routers, and other switches through standard
RJ-45 connectors and Category 5 cabling

Note A Category 5 cable is required for 100BASE-TX traffic. A port operating at

10BASE-T can use Category 3 and 4 cables.

When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP

Phones, be sure that the cable is a straight-through, twisted-pair cable. When
connecting the switch to switches or hubs, use a crossover cable. Pinouts for
the cables are described in Appendix B, “Connectors and Cable
Specifications.”

The 10/100 switch ports can be explicitly set to operate in any combination of
half duplex, full duplex, 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps. These ports also can be set for
speed and duplex autonegotiation, compliant with IEEE 802.3u. When set for
autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached
device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports
autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest
line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached
device supports it) and configures itself accordingly.

 Chapter 1 Product Overview
100BASE-FX Ports

The 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 2900 XL switches provide protocol support for
Cisco IP Phones and per-port priority override. Refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series
XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide for more
information about these features.
Cisco IP Phones—connected to the 10/100 port—must be connected to an AC
power source. Unlike the 3524-PWR XL switch, the Catalyst 2900 XL switches
do not provide inline power.
For more info on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch, refer to the
Catalyst 3500 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide.

100BASE-FX Ports
The 100BASE-FX ports use 10/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic
cabling. The connection distances between the switch and the attached device can
be as follows:
• If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for
half-duplex operation, the connection can be up to 1352 feet (412 meters).
• If the switch port and the port on the attached device are configured for
full-duplex operation, the connection can be over distances of up to 6562 feet
(2 kilometers).

Long-Reach Ethernet Ports

The Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) ports (Figure 1-4) use one RJ-21 connector to
connect up to 24 Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) devices
though unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The link between the
LRE switch port and each CPE device can reach speeds of up to 15 Mbps (full
duplex) and distances of up to 4921 feet (1500 meters).
The default mode for each LRE port is speed autonegotiation, half duplex
operation. For information about configuring the LRE ports, refer to the Catalyst
2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide.
For more information about the Cisco 575 LRE CPE, refer to the Cisco
575 LRE CPE Hardware Installation Guide.

 Chapter 1 Product Overview
100BASE-FX Ports

If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network (ISDN),

use the same cabling as LRE traffic, the LRE port must be connected to the patch
panel through a basic telephone service, also known as plain old telephone service
(POTS) splitter. The splitter routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice
(low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the switch and private branch
exchange (PBX) switch or public-switched telephone network (PSTN)
If the other telephone services are connected through a private branch exchange
(PBX) switch, a Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice
traffic to private telephone networks and the public system telephone network
(PSTN). For more information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter
(PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS
Splitter.
If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required
to directly connect to the PSTN. For more information about homologated POTS
splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.

Note If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not

needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.

Expansion Slots
The expansion slots (see Figure 1-2) are for the Catalyst 2900 XL hot-swappable
modules. Each module port is internally switched to other switch ports and is
managed through the switch management interfaces.
Table 1-1 lists the modules that the expansion slots support.

These modules automatically configure themselves when you insert them in

expansion slots and tighten the thumb screws. A power-on self-test (POST)
verifies that the module is working properly before it starts forwarding packets.
Modules WS-X2914-XL and WS-X2922-XL support 2048 MAC addresses. If
you install one of these modules in a 2924M XL or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch
(both supporting 8192 MAC addresses), the module fails POST. You can start the
module by restarting the switch with the module installed. After the restart, the
switch address capacity is reduced to 2048 MAC addresses.
See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL Modules Installation Guide and the
Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules Installation and Configuration Guide for
detailed information on expansion modules for Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.

LEDs
You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and its performance.
Figure 1-5, Figure 1-6, and Figure 1-7 show the location of the LEDs and the
Mode button that you use to select a port mode. Changing a port mode changes
the information provided by each port LED.
All of the LEDs described in this section except the utilization meter (UTL) are
visible on the Cluster Management Suite (CMS) window and, if the switch is a
cluster member, on the CMS Cluster Manager window. The Catalyst 2900 Series
XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide describes how to
use CMS to manage standalone or individual switches and how to use cluster
management software to manage switch clusters].

Internal Power Supply Connector

The internal power supply is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages
between 100 and 240 VAC. If you plan to use the internal power supply, use the
supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power
outlet.

Cisco RPS Connector

Specific Cisco RPS models support specific Catalyst 2900 XL switches:
• Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600-AC-RPS)—supports the Catalyst 2912 XL,
2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2924MF XL, and 2924M XL switches
• Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1)—supports the Catalyst
2912 LRE XL and 2924 LRE XL switches

RPS Connector on the Catalyst 2912 XL, 2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2924MF XL, and 2924M XL Switches

The Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600-AC-RPS) provides a quasi-redundant power

source for four external devices that use up to 150W DC each. Use a one-to-one
cable (one connector at each cable end) to connect four external devices to the
four DC output power modules. The power source is quasi-redundant because
there are two AC input power modules for the Cisco RPS and one DC output
power module for each external device. The AC input to the Cisco RPS is fully
redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.

Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) to the RPS 600
receptacle.

Note Do not connect the switch power cord to an AC outlet if the switch is also
connected to a powered-on RPS. The switches do not support the
fully-redundant configuration described in the RPS documentation. The
redundant-with-reboot configuration is not recommended.

For more information on the Cisco RPS 600, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power
System Hardware Installation Guide.

RPS Connector on the Catalyst 2912 LRE and 2924 LRE XL Switches

The RPS is a 300W redundant power system that can support six external network
devices and provides power to one failed device at a time. It automatically senses
when the power supply of a connected device fails and provides the necessary
power to the failed device to prevent loss of network traffic. When the device
internal power supply has been brought up or replaced, the RPS automatically
stops powering the device.

Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the RPS 300
receptacle.

Rear-Panel Description

Note The RPS can only power one switch at a time. If more than one switch fails at
the same time, any subsequent switch is not supported by the RPS until the
first switch failure is resolved.

For more information on the Cisco RPS 300, refer to the Cisco Redundant Power
System 300 Hardware Installation Guide.

Console Port
You can connect a switch to a PC through the switch console port and by using
the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter. You need to provide a
RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect the switch console port to a
terminal. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that
adapter from Cisco. For console port and adapter pinout information, see the

After the switch is mounted on the wall, power the switch as described in
“Powering On the Switch and Running POST” section on page 2-25.

Powering On the Switch and Running POST

To power on the switch after you install it, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.

As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of eight tests that run
automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. When the switch
begins POST, the port LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and then they turn green.

Connecting to a 10/100 Port

The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LED turns off. As each test runs, the
port LEDs, starting with number 1, turn off. The port LEDs for ports 2 to 8 each
turn off in turn as the system completes a test.
When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs return to the status mode
display, indicating that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port LED
associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. If POST
fails, refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” to determine a course of action.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch
does not pass POST.

Connecting to a 10/100 Port

The switch 10/100 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached
devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly
set the speed and duplex parameters.
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex
parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage. To
maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the 10/100
Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.

Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port

The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the
topology and searches for loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port
LED turns green.
If the port LED does not come 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 Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for solutions to cabling
problems.
Step 4 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 5 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect to each 10/100 port.

Connecting to a 100BASE-FX Port

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of the
100BASE-FX single-mode supervisor engine module. Avoid exposure and do
not stare into open apertures.

Warning Avoid exposure to the laser beam.

Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the fiber-optic port or the rubber caps
from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs
and caps protect the fiber-optic port and cable from contamination and
ambient light.

You can connect the 100BASE-FX ports to other 100BASE-FX-compatible

network devices, such as servers, routers, and other switches. These ports use a
duplex SC connector, and you must provide the 50/125- or 62.5/125-micron
multimode fiber-optic cable to connect these ports to other 100BASE-FX devices.
The fiber-optic distances between the switch and the attached device follow.

Connecting to an LRE Port

Step 5 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each 100BASE-FX port.

Connecting to an LRE Port

Depending on the switch model, you can connect the LRE port to either 12 or 24
Cisco 575 LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) devices through a patch
panel. If telephone services, such as voice or integrated services digital network
(ISDN), use the same cabling as LRE traffic, you must connect the LRE to a plain
old telephone service (POTS) splitter.

Note If no other telephone services travel on the same wiring as LRE traffic, the
LRE switch connects directly to a patch panel.

Connecting the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter requires a

male-to-male RJ-21 cable, category 3 or above.You can order RJ-21 cables from
your cable vendor, or you can order these cables from your Cisco sales
representative:
• CAB-5-M120M120-5 (Category 5 cable with 90-degree, male-to-male RJ-21
connectors)
• CAB-5-M180120-5 (Category 5 cable with 120-degree, male-to-male RJ-21
connectors)
The screws you need to secure the cable to the switch are shipped with the cable.
Contact your Cisco sales representative for more information.
To connect the LRE port to a patch panel or POTS splitter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect one end of a wiring trunk cable to the RJ-21 connector of the LRE port
on the switch. (See Figure 2-19.)

Connecting to an LRE Port

Step 2 Referring to the following figure, secure the cable to the switch:
• For a 90-degree connector, see the top of Figure 2-19.
• For a 12-degree connector, see the bottom Figure 2-19.

Note The cable tie is not included with the connector and cable assembly.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the patch panel or POTS splitter.

Each LRE port status LED turns on when it establishes a link with a Cisco
575 LRE CPE. For more information about the LRE link between the switch LRE
port and the CPE, as well as information about the configuration and management
of CPE devices, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL
Software Configuration Guide.
For more information about the Cisco 575 LRE CPE device, refer to the
Cisco 575 LRE CPE Hardware Installation Guide.
If telephone services, such as voice or ISDN, use the same cabling as LRE traffic,
the LRE port must be connected to the patch panel through a basic telephone
service, also known as plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter
routes LRE data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the
telephone line to the switch and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or
public-switched telephone network (PSTN).
If the other telephone services are connected through a PBX switch, a
Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter can be used. The PBX routes voice traffic to private
telephone networks and the public system telephone network (PSTN). For more
information about the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter (PS-1M-LRE-48), refer to the
Installation Notes for the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter.
If the installation does not have a PBX, a homologated POTS splitter is required
to directly connect to the PSTN. For more information about homologated POTS
splitters, contact your Cisco sales representative.

Note If a connection to a phone network is not required at all, a splitter is not

needed, and the switch can connect directly to the patch panel.

Connecting to a Module Port

For information about installing and connecting to modules in the Catalyst
2924M XL and 2912MF XL expansion slots, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL
Modules Installation Guide and the Catalyst 2900 Series XL ATM Modules
Installation and Configuration Guide.

Connecting to the Console Port

Use the supplied rollover cable and DB-9 adapter to connect a PC to the switch
console port. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you
want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order a kit
(part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco. For
console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter
Specifications” section on page B-4.
The PC or terminal must support VT100 terminal emulation. The
terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal
or Procomm Plus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or
terminal possible during the setup program.
Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Step 1 Configure your PC- or terminal-emulation software to communicate with the

switch through hardware flow control.
Step 2 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these
switch console port default characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
After you have accessed the switch, you can change the port baud rate back to its
original setting. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL
Software Configuration Guide for instructions.

Troubleshooting

The LEDs on the front panel of the Catalyst 2900 series XL switch provide
troubleshooting information about the switch. They show failures in the power-on
self-test (POST), port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance.
For a full description of the switch LEDs, see the “LEDs” section on page 1-9.
You can also get statistics from the browser interface, from the command-line
interface (CLI), or from an SNMP workstation. See the Catalyst 2900 Series XL
and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide, the Catalyst 2900
Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Command Reference, or the
documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.

Understanding POST Results

Understanding POST Results

Each time the switch is powered on, eight POSTs run automatically to check the
most important system components before the switch begins forwarding packets.
When the switch begins its POST, the port status LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds,
and then they turn green. As each test runs, the port status LEDs turn off, starting
with number 1x. The port status LEDs for ports 2x to 8x each turn off in turn as
the system completes a test.
When the POST completes successfully, the port status LEDs go off, indicating
that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port status LED associated with
the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. Table 3-1 lists the eight
POST tests and their associated LEDs.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not
pass POST.

Diagnosing Problems

Correcting Module POST Failures

If you install modules WS-X2914-XL or WS-X2922-XL in a Catalyst 2924M XL
or Catalyst 2912MF XL switch, the module fails POST. This failure occurs
because the expansion modules support 2048 MAC addresses and the switch
supports 8192 MAC addresses. To correct the failure, restart the switch with the
module installed. After the restart, the address capacity of the switch is reduced
to 2048 MAC addresses.

Diagnosing Problems
Common switch problems fall into the following categories:
• Poor performance
• No connectivity
• Corrupted software
Table 3-2 describes how to detect and resolve these problems.

 A P P E N D I X B
Connectors and Cable Specifications

This appendix describes the Catalyst 2900 XL switch ports and the cables and
adapters that you use to connect the switch to other devices.

Connector Specifications

10/100 Ports
The 10/100 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts
with internal crossovers, as shown by an X in the port name. These ports have
their transmit (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a
straight-through cable and an adapter can be attached to the port. Figure B-1
shows the pinouts.

When connecting the 10/100 ports to compatible workstations, servers, routers,

and Cisco IP Phones, you must use a straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-TX. (Figure B-4 shows the straight-through cable schematics.)
When connecting to other switches or repeaters, you must use a crossover cable.
(Figure B-5 shows the crossover cable schematics.)

Note Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports when one of the ports is
designated with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect two ports when both
connectors and cables are designated with an X or when both ports do not have
an X.

100BASE-FX Ports
100BASE-FX ports use duplex SC connectors, as shown in Figure B-2. These
ports use 10/125- or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber-optic cabling.

Identifying a Rollover Cable

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable.
Hold the cable ends side-by-side, with the tab at the back. The wire connected to
the pin on the outside of the left plug should be the same color as the wire
connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug (see Figure B-6).
