3. Installatie en instellingen

3.1 Uitpakken en inspectie

Carefully unpack the switch and inspect it for any damage during shipping. Report any damage to your vendor immediately.

3.2 Voorbereiding van de locatie

Before installation, ensure the installation site meets the environmental requirements. The switch dimensions are approximately 17.5 x 15.2 x 1.75 inches (44.45 x 38.61 x 4.45 cm) or 17.5"L x 17.5"W x 2.9"H (44.45 x 44.45 x 7.37 cm) depending on specific mounting. Allow sufficient space for cabling and ventilation.

3.3 De schakelaar monteren

The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Use the provided rack-mount brackets and screws to secure the switch. Ensure the switch is level and securely fastened.

3.4 Stroom aansluiten

1. Sluit het netsnoer aan op de netstroomaansluiting op het achterpaneel van de switch.
2. Steek het andere uiteinde van het netsnoer in een geaard stopcontact.
3. Controleer of de systeem-LED op het voorpaneel brandt; dit geeft aan dat er stroom wordt geleverd.

3.5 Netwerkapparaten aansluiten

Connect network devices (computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the 48 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports using standard Ethernet cables. For devices requiring power, connect them to the PoE+ enabled ports. Use SFP modules in the expansion slots for fiber optic or other uplink connections.

3.6 Initiële configuratietoegang

For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your management workstation to the console port on the switch. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with appropriate settings (typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control) to access the command-line interface (CLI).

4. Bediening

4.1 In-/uitschakelen

Once connected to a power source, the switch will automatically power on. There is no physical power button. To power off, disconnect the power cord. For proper shutdown, it is recommended to save configurations before disconnecting power.

4.2 LED-indicatoren

The front panel of the switch features various LEDs to indicate system status and port activity:

• Systeem-LED: Indicates overall system health (e.g., green for normal operation, amber for issues).
• RPS-LED: Indicates the status of the Redundant Power System (if installed).
• Stapel-LED: Indicates the status of the FlexStack connection.
• Poortstatus-LED's: Each Ethernet port has an LED to indicate link status (on/off) and activity (blinking). Green typically indicates a 1000 Mbps link, amber for 10/100 Mbps.
• PoE-LED: Indicates Power over Ethernet status for the respective port.

4.3 Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

The switch supports PoE+ (802.3at) on all 48 Ethernet ports, providing up to 30W of power per port to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. Ensure connected devices are PoE+ compliant for optimal performance.

4.4 Cisco FlexStack

The Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48LPS-L supports FlexStack technology, allowing multiple switches to be stacked together to operate as a single logical unit. This simplifies management and increases network scalability. Refer to the Cisco documentation for detailed FlexStack configuration and cabling instructions.

5. Onderhoud

5.1 Cleaning the Switch

Periodically clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may contain flammable substances or cause electrical shock. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.

5.2 firmware-updates

Regularly check the Cisco website for the latest firmware updates. Keeping the switch firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the instructions provided by Cisco for the update process.

5.3 Milieumonitoring

Monitor the operating environment to ensure it remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Excessive heat can reduce the lifespan of the device. The upper temperature rating is 40 degrees Celsius.

6. Probleemoplossing

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Cisco Catalyst switch.

6.1 Geen stroom

• Verify the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet.
• Controleer het stopcontact met een ander apparaat om er zeker van te zijn dat het werkt.
• Inspecteer het netsnoer op eventuele schade.
• Ensure the system LED on the front panel is illuminated.

6.2 Geen verbinding op een poort

• Zorg ervoor dat de Ethernetkabel stevig is aangesloten op zowel de switchpoort als het netwerkapparaat.
• Check the cable for damage and try a different cable.
• Verify the network device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• Check the port status LED on the switch; if it's off, there's no link.
• Confirm that the port is not administratively shut down in the switch configuration.

6.3 Connectiviteitsproblemen

• Verify IP addressing and subnet mask configurations on connected devices and the switch.
• Check for duplicate IP addresses on the network.
• Ensure VLAN configurations are correct if your network uses them.
• Test connectivity using ping or traceroute commands from the switch CLI.

6.4 PoE+ Device Not Receiving Power

• Ensure the connected device is PoE+ compliant.
• Check the PoE LED for the specific port; if it's off or amber, there might be an issue.
• Controleer of de switch over voldoende vermogen beschikt om alle aangesloten PoE+-apparaten van stroom te voorzien.
• Confirm that PoE is enabled on the port in the switch configuration.
