BITS Port

The Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) port is an RJ-45 interface that provides external synchronized clocking through a timing signal generator(TSG). The BITS port on the switch can be configured to accept either a T1 or an E1 framed input.

Alarm Input Port

The switch supports four alarm inputs. Use the CLI to define each alarm input to respond to a normally open or closed dry-contact closure and to define thealarm severity as minor, major, or critical. When a condition triggers an alarm, the console displays an alarm message, and the corresponding Alarm LEDresponds.

Management and Console Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or theconsole port. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable. The console portconnection uses a RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable.

The Ethernet management port operates in any combination of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s, and its traffic is isolated from the other ports. See Table 7 fordescriptions of the Ethernet management port LEDs.

10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Downlink Ports (Cisco ME-3600X-24TS-M)

The 24 10/100/1000BASE-T copper downlink ports use standard RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts.

Gigabit Ethernet SFP Downlink Ports (Cisco ME-3600X-24FS-M)

The 24 Gigabit Ethernet SFP downlink ports use the SFP module patch cable, a 0.5-meter, copper, passive cable with SFP module connectors at each end.This cable is only used with 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports to connect two switches in a cascaded configuration.

10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink Ports

The switch 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules provide the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP+ module slot. The SFP+ modules have LC connectorsfor fiber-optic connections. The SFP+ module slots support SFP+ and Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules. The SFP+ module slots do not support 100BASE-X and1000BASE-T modules.



Use only Cisco SFP+ or SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information.

SD Memory Slot

The switch has an SD (secure digital) memory slot for additional storage. You can save configurations or Cisco IOS images and transfer them to othersystems. The memory slot supports standard SD (1 MB and 2 GB) memory cards or SDHC (4 GB) memory cards.

LEDs

You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

A description of the front panel LED functions is provided in Table 1 .

Amber Port is blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and is notforwarding data. After a port is reconfigured, the port LEDcan remain amber for up to 30 seconds as STP checks theswitch for possible loops.

Rear Panel

The rear panel on the switch has two power supply module slots and a ground connector. Power supply module slots can accept AC or DC input powersupply or a fan module. See Figure 3 .

Management Options

Cisco IOS CLI

You can fully configure and monitor the switch from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switchconsole port or by using Telnet from a remote management station.

CiscoView application

The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image so that you can set configuration parameters and view switch status andperformance information. The CiscoView application can be a standalone application or part of a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) platform.

SNMP network management

You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switchsupports a comprehensive set of Management Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups.
