For additional installation and configuration information for Catalyst 3560 switches, see the Catalyst 3560 documentation on Cisco.com.
Shipping Box Contents The items shipped with your switch depend on the switch model and the options that you choose. Some items shown are optional, and your switch might look different.
These items ship with the Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-port switches: SYST STAT DPLX SPD PoE CONSO LE 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x 6x MODE 7x 8x Catalyst 35 60 SERIES Po E-8 1 2 1 ct ion du tat ce ro n n P e plia um m oc o D dC an 4 6 5 7 1 Catalyst 3560 switch 5 Documentation 2 Console cable (optional) 6 Mounting magnet 3 AC power cord 7 Screw template 4 Four rubber mounting feet 8 8 207410 3 Three number-8 Phillips pan-head screws Installation Warning Statements See the Regulatory Co
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
3 Running Express Setup When you use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information, the switch can then connect to local routers and the Internet. For further configuration, you can access the switch through its IP address. Step 1 Make sure that nothing is connected to the switch. During Express Setup, the switch acts as a DHCP server. If your PC has a static IP address, change your PC settings before you begin to temporarily use DHCP.
The Express Setup page appears. If it does not appear, see the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 18 for help. Step 10 Enter this information in the Network Settings fields: • In the Management Interface (VLAN ID) field, the default is 1. Enter a different VLAN ID only if you want to change the management interface through which you manage the switch. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001. • In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the switch.
Step 13 (Optional) Enter this information in the Advanced Setting fields: • In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch by using the command-line interface (CLI). If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password. • In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end.
Downloading Cisco Network Assistant You can download Cisco Network Assistant from Cisco.com to run on your PC. It offers advanced options for configuring and monitoring multiple devices, including switches, switch clusters, switch stacks, routers, and access points. There is no charge to download, install, or use Cisco Network Assistant. 1. You must be a registered Cisco.com user, but you need no other access privileges. http://www.cisco.com/go/NetworkAssistant 2. Find the Network Assistant installer. 3.
Before You Begin When you determine where to install the switch, follow these guidelines: • Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. Allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings. Do not stack switches, and do not place the 8- or 12-port switches side-by-side. • When you place the 8- or 12-port switch on a flat horizontal surface without the magnet, attach the rubber feet to the switch to prevent airflow restriction and overheating. • Allow at least 1.
Attaching the Brackets Use four Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long side of the brackets to the switch in one of these mounting positions: 1 SYST RPS 2 3 4 1X 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 STAT DUPLX SPEED PoE 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 15X 17X MODE 21 22 23 24 25 26 2X 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 31X 33X 37 38 39 40 16X 18X 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 Catalyst 3560 GSERIES PoE48 48 47X 32X 34X 49 51 50 48X 52 1 2 1 SYST RPS 1X STAT DUPLX SPEED PoE MODE
Mounting the Switch in a Rack Use the black Phillips machine screw to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket. Use the four number-12 Phillips machine screws to attach the brackets to the rack.
Securing the Switch on a Desk or Shelf (Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-Port Switches) To place a Catalyst 3560 8- or 12-port switch on a desk without using the mounting screws, attach the four rubber feet to the bottom panel of the switch. To secure Catalyst 3560 8- or 12-port switch on top of or under a desk or a shelf, or on a wall, use the mounting template and three mounting screws: 1. Position the screw template on the mounting surface with the two side-by-side slots forward.
Mounting the Switch with a Magnet (Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-Port Switches) According to safety regulations, when you mount the switch with a magnet, make sure its front panel faces down to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier access to the cables. This requires that you mount the switch with a magnet only on a vertical magnetic surface such as a metal filing cabinet. 1. Position the mounting magnet on the mounting surface. 2. Place the bottom of the switch on the magnet.
Rotate the wire to the right side of the AC power cord connector, and insert the AC power cord. Step 4 Place the power cord bushing on the power cord with the opening at the top. The retainer wire only fits into one slot on the bushing. Move the retainer wire into the bushing slot. Step 5 Slide the bushing so that it rests against the power-cord connector, and then rotate the bushing clockwise until the bushing is securely fastened and its opening is on the right side of the power cord.
7 Connecting to the Switch Ports This section describes how to connect to the switch, SFP module, and dual-purpose ports and how to verify your connections. For additional cabling information, see the Catalyst 3560 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com. Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports When you connect to servers, workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and routers, insert a straight-through, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable in a switch 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port.
Insert an appropriate cable into the module port. 33 34 35 33X Note If your switch has a dual-purpose port, see the “Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 17 for additional considerations. 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 Catalyst 35 60GSER 48 IES PoE-48 47X 1 34X 49 2 51 1 2 50 48X 52 Step 3 250517 Step 2 Insert the other cable end into the other device.
