• OOB Port (if present)—The Out of Band (OOB) port is a CPU Ethernet port that can be used only as a
management interface. Bridging between the OOB port and the in-band Layer 2 interface is not supported.
This does not appear on 250 devices.
• Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Ports (if present) —Highlighted in blue, these ports support speeds up to 2.5 Gbps
or 5 Gbps on Cat5e cables. The maximum speed supported is printed on the blue shade under the port.
Uplink ports on CBS350-8MGP-2X also support multi-Gigabit speed. In this case, port speed can reach
10Gbps. Most of the cabling deployed worldwide is Cat5e, and previously limited to 1 Gbps at 100
meters. Cisco multi-Gigabit Ethernet enables speeds up to 2.5 or 5 Gbps on the same infrastructure
without replacing a cable.
• 60-Watt PoE Ports (if present)- The 60-Watt PoE port doubles the maximum PoE power delivered on
the port to 60W.
Front Panel LEDs
The following are the global LEDs found on the devices:
• System—(Green) The LED lights steady when the switch is powered on, and flashes when booting,
performing self-tests, or acquiring an IP address. If the LED flashes Amber, the switch has detected a
hardware or firmware failure, and/or a configuration file error.
The following are per port LEDs:
• LINK/ACT—(Green) Located on the left of each port. The LED lights steady when a link between the
corresponding port and another device is detected, and flashes when the port is passing traffic.
• SFP+ (if present)—(Green) Located on the right of a 10G port. The LED lights steady when a connection
is made through the shared port, and flashes when the port is passing traffic.
• Gigabit—(Green) Located on the right of the 1G port. The LED lights steady when another device is
connected to the port, is powered on, and a 1000 Mbps link is established between the devices. When
the LED is off, the connection speed is under 1000 Mbps or nothing is cabled to the port. (This feature
is only available on certain models).
• PoE (if present)—(Amber) Located on the right of the port. The LED lights steady when power is being
supplied to a device attached to the corresponding port. (This feature is only available on certain models).
Configuring Switches
The switch can be accessed and managed over your IP network using the web-based interface, or by using
the switch’s command-line interface through the console port. Using the console port requires advanced user
skills and is only supported on certain models.
The following table shows the default settings used when configuring your switch for the first time.
