Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Ports  
10/100BASE-T Ports  
You can set the 10/100BASE-T ports on the switch to operate in any combination of half duplex, full  
duplex, or 10 or 100 Mb/s. You can set the ports for speed and duplex auto-negotiation. The default  
setting is auto-negotiate.  
When set for auto-negotiation, the switch determines the speed and duplex settings of the attached  
device, and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports auto-negotiation, the  
switch negotiates the best connection (the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex  
transmission if the attached device supports it), and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the  
attached device must be within 328 feet (100 meters).  
The 10/100BASE-T ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328  
feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded  
twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.  
PoE and PoE+ Ports  
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  
The 10/100BASE-T PoE+ ports on the Cisco CGS-2520-16S-8PC and Cisco CGS-2520-16S-8PC-C  
models provide:  
Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4 W PoE per port) and support for  
IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30 W PoE+ per port).  
Support for prestandard Cisco powered devices.  
Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including:  
enhanced power negotiation  
power reservation  
per-port power policing  
Each power supply module can support an equivalent PoE load of two PoE+ ports or four PoE ports.  
When both power supply modules are installed, the system has enough power to support four PoE+  
ports, or eight PoE ports.  
If ports are designated as high priority and low priority PoE or PoE+ ports at the command line  
interface (CLI), and one power supply module fails or is removed, power to the high priority ports  
is maintained, and power to the low priority ports is dropped. When assigning priority to PoE or  
PoE+ ports, it is important to assign priorities on the basis of power supply capacity.  
For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the CGS 2520 Switch Software  
Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.  
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the “Connecting Devices to the

Chapter 1 Product Overview  
Ports  
Note  
The output of the PoE+ circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.  
Dual-Purpose Gigabit Ethernet Ports  
You can configure the dual-purpose ports on the switch as either 10/100/1000 ports or as SFP module  
ports. You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to autonegotiate, or you can configure them as fixed 10, 100,  
or 1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports.  
By default, the switch selects the medium for each dual-purpose port (10/100/1000BASE-T or SFP).  
When a link is achieved on one media type, the switch disables the other media type until the active link  
goes down. If links are active on both media, the SFP module port has priority, but you can use the  
media-type interface configuration command to manually designate the port as an RJ-45 port or an SFP  
port.  
You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with the selected media type. For information  
on configuring interfaces, see the CGS 2520 Switch Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.  
For more information on the SFP module ports see:  
SFP Modules  
The switch Ethernet SFP modules provide connections to other devices. These field-replaceable  
transceiver modules provide the uplink interfaces.The modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic  
connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections. You can use any combination of the supported  
SFP modules listed in Table 1-2.

Alarm Ports  
The switch has four alarm inputs and one alarm output. The alarm setting is open or closed.  
Open means that the normal condition has current flowing through the contact (referred to as a  
normally closed contact). The alarm is generated when the current stops.  
Closed means that no current flows through the contact (referred to as a normally open contact). The  
alarm is generated when the current flows.  
This section contains the following alarm port information:  
Alarm Input  
The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. You can connect up to four alarm inputs from devices, such  
as a door, a temperature gauge, or a fire alarm, to the alarm port. You can use the CLI to set the alarm  
severity to minor, major, or critical. An alarm generates a system message and turns on an LED. See the  
“Alarm LEDs” section on page 1-10 for the LED descriptions.  
Alarm Output  
The alarm output can be configured as a minor or major alarm. Output alarms often control an external  
alarm, such as a bell or a light. To connect an external alarm device to the relay, connect two relay contact  
wires to complete the electrical circuit. See the “Alarm Port” section on page B-3 for information on the  
alarm pinouts.

Management Ports  
You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either  
the RJ-45 console port or the USB console port.  
RJ-45 console port. The RJ-45 connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable  
USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector); the USB connection uses a USB Type A-to-5-pin  
mini-Type B cable  
The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.  
To use the USB console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device that  
is connected to the USB console port (device running with Microsoft Windows).  
Note  
Note  
For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the “Installing the Cisco Microsoft  
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the  
console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special  
drivers.  
The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.  
Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 1-5.  
Figure 1-5  
USB Mini-Type B Port  
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB console port is  
activated, but no input activity occurs on it for a specified time period. When the USB console port  
deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB  
cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the switch software  
guide.  
LEDs  
You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance.

1.75 in. (4.4 cm). Statement 1076  
Installation Guidelines  
Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:  
Cabling must be kept away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and  
fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is away from other devices that might  
damage the cables.  
Operating environment is within the temperature ranges listed in the “Switch Specifications” section  
Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondensing).  
Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.  
For 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are not  
more than 328 feet (100 meters).  
For cable lengths for small-form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module connections, see the “SFP Module  
Cables” section on page B-4 and the module documentation.  
Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. To prevent overheating, the switch  
must meet the minimum clearance of 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) at the top and bottom. For clearances  
needed for wall mounting, see specifications in “Wall-Mounting” section on page 2-16.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules  
Installing and Removing SFP Modules  
Small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules provide the uplink optical interfaces, laser send (TX) and  
laser receive (RX).  
When installing or removing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:  
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any  
module more often than is absolutely necessary.  
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when  
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.  
Warning  
Caution  
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008  
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the  
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module  
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.  
Caution  
We strongly recommend that you not install or remove the SFP module while the fiber-optic cable is  
attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, to the cable connector, or to the optical  
interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect the cable before you remove or install an SFP module.  
Installing SFP Modules  
This section describes how to install Small Form Factor pluggable (SFP) modules. SFP modules are  
inserted into the SFP modules connected to the switch.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.  
Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.  
Note  
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows  
that show the direction (send or receive) of the connection.  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Step 6  
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.  
Align the module in front of the slot opening, and insert until you feel the connector snap into place.  
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it to lock it into place.  
For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and store them in a clean location for reuse.  
Caution  
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port until you are ready to  
insert the SFP cables.  
Step 7  
Connect the SFP cables.

maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires  
Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. The 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category  
4 cable.  
The auto-negotiation 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  
auto-negotiation, 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.  
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 a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, regardless of the type of  
connected device.  
See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more  
information about auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX.  
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Table 2-1 to select the cable for connecting the  
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to other devices.  
See the “Connector and Cable Specifications” section on page B-1 for cable-pinout descriptions.

Connecting to the 10/100 PoE+ Ports  
The Cisco CGS-2520-16S-8PC switch (and the CGS-2520-16S-8PC-C switch) 10/100 PoE+ ports have  
the same auto-negotiation settings and cabling requirements as those in the “Connecting to the 10/100  
and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-25. These ports provide PoE power.  
See the “PoE and PoE+ Ports” section on page 1-4 for information on the cables and connectors.  
The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and also provide Cisco  
prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.  
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power to a connected  
IP phone or an access point.  
To access an advanced PoE+ planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator on Cisco.com:

You can use this application to calculate the power supply requirements for a specific PoE configuration.  
The results show output current, output power, and heat dissipation.  
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  
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.  
Where to Go Next  
After the switch is mounted onto the rack, do the following:  
Wire the switch to a power source (see the “Power Supply Installation” chapter).

Power Supply Installation  
This chapter describes how to remove and install a new or replacement power supply. Your switch ships  
with at least one installed power supply module (AC or DC, depending on your order). The power supply  
modules are field-replaceable units (FRUs) and are hot-swappable.  
For translations of the safety warnings in this chapter, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety  
Information for the Cisco CGS 2520 on the documentation CD and also on Cisco.com.  
Power Supply Modules  
For information on the power supply modules, see the “Power Supply Features” section on page 1-14.  
Table 3-1  
Power Supply Modules  
Model  
Description  
PWR-RGD-LOW-DC  
PWR-RGD-AC-DC  
Low-voltage DC. For voltage information, see Table A-8 on page A-4  
High-voltage AC or DC. For voltage information, see Table A-7 on page A-4  
PWR-RGD-AC-DC-C (For China) High-voltage AC or DC. For voltage information, see Table A-7  
Note  
Each power supply module can support an equivalent PoE load of two PoE+ ports or four PoE ports.  
When both power supply modules are installed, the system has enough power to support four PoE+ ports,  
or eight PoE ports. If ports are designated as high priority and low priority PoE or PoE+ ports at the  
command line interface (CLI), and one power supply module fails or is removed, power to the high  
priority ports is maintained, and power to the low priority ports is dropped. When assigning priority to  
PoE or PoE+ ports, it is important to assign priorities on the basis of power supply capacity.

Troubleshooting  
This chapter contains the following topics:  
Diagnosing Problems  
The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show POST failures,  
port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the device  
manager, the CLI, or an SNMP workstation. See the software configuration guide, the switch command  
reference guide on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.  
The following topics can be used as approaches to diagnosing problems:  
Switch POST Results  
Note  
POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does  
not pass POST.  
Switch LEDs  
Look at the port LEDs information when troubleshooting the switch. See the “LEDs” section on page 1-8  
for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting  
Diagnosing Problems  
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 (loses and  
regains 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 convertors between the source and the  
destination. If possible, bypass the patch panel, or eliminate media convertors  
(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 copper cable for 10 Mb/s UTP connections. Use either Category 5,  
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s 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. See Table 2-1 for recommended Ethernet  
cables.  
Link Status  
Verify that both sides have link. A broken wire or a shutdown port can cause one side to show link even  
though the other side does not have 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.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting  
Diagnosing Problems  
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 the “Connector and Cable Specifications”  
section on page B-1 for information.  
Look for loose connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated but is not. Disconnect the cable,  
and then reconnect it.  
10/100 and 10/100/1000 Port Connections  
A port appears to malfunction:  
Verify the status of all ports. See Table 1-8 on page 1-11 for descriptions of the LEDs and their  
meanings.  
Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or  
shut down. Re-enable the port if necessary.  
10/100 PoE+ Port Connections  
A powered device connected to a PoE+ port does not receive power:  
Verify the status of all the ports. See Table 1-8 for descriptions of the LEDs and their meanings.  
Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is error-disabled, disabled, or  
shutdown. Re-enable the port if necessary.  
Verify the cable type. Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access  
points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802 (PoE and PoE+ standards) might not  
support PoE or PoE+ when connected to the switch by a crossover cable. Replace the crossover cable  
with a straight-through cable.  
Caution  
Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE or PoE+ port fault. Use only compliant  
cabling to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones, and wireless access points, IEEE 802.3af or IEEE  
802.3at-compliant devices.  
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 privileged EXEC command to see if the port or module is error-disabled,  
disabled, or shutdown. Re-enable the port if needed.  
Make sure that all fiber-optic connections are clean and securely connected.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting  
Diagnosing Problems  
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 re-enable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged  
EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shut down on either side of the  
connection. If needed, re-enable 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  
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 could 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.  
Switch Performance  
Speed, Duplex, and Auto-Negotiation  
Port statistics that show a large amount 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 auto-negotiation 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.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting  
Diagnosing Problems  
Auto-Negotiation 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 auto-negotiation 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 “Cables and

Connector and Cable Specifications  
This appendix contains the following topics:  
Connector Specifications  
10/100 Ethernet Ports  
The 10/100 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts with internal crossovers.  
These ports have the send (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a twisted-pair  
straight-through cable and adapter can be attached.

Appendix B Connector and Cable Specifications  
Connector Specifications  
When connecting 10/100 ports to devices such as servers, workstations, and routers, you can use a two  
or four twisted-pair straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Figure B-5 shows  
the two twisted-pair straight-through cable schematics. Figure B-7 shows the four twisted-pair  
straight-through cable schematics.  
When connecting the ports to other devices, such as switches or repeaters, you can use a two or four  
twisted-pair crossover cable. Figure B-6 shows the two twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.  
Figure B-8 shows the four twisted-pair crossover cable schematics.  
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use a straight-through cable to connect ports when only one port is labeled  
with an X. Use a crossover cable to connect ports when both ports are labeled with an X or when both  
ports are not labeled with an X.  
You can use Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling when connecting to 10BASE-T-compatible devices. You must  
use Category 5 (or higher) cabling when connecting to 100BASE-TX-compatible devices.  
Note  
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic  
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled,  
the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces  
accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a  
copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of  
device on the other end of the connection.

Console Port Adapter Pinouts  
The console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, which is described in Table B-2 and Table B-3. If you  
did not order a console cable, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the switch  
console port to a PC console port. You need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter if you  
want to connect the switch console port to a terminal. You can order an adapter (part number  
ACS-DSBUASYN=). For console port and adapter pinout information, see Table B-2 and Table B-3.  
Table B-2 lists the pinouts for the console port, the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, and the console device.
