3.6 کنفیگریشن کی ابتدائی رسائی

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. آپریشن

4.1 پاور آن/آف

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 ایل ای ڈی اشارے

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

• سسٹم ایل ای ڈی: Indicates overall system health (e.g., green for normal operation, amber for issues).
• آر پی ایس ایل ای ڈی: Indicates the status of the Redundant Power System (if installed).
• اسٹیک ایل ای ڈی: Indicates the status of the FlexStack connection.
• پورٹ اسٹیٹس ایل ای ڈی: 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 ایل ای ڈی: 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.
