Catalyst 2900 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 1 Product Overview

100BASE-FX Ports

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,andFigure 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].
