Screws” on page 131, and “Mounting an EX2300-C Switch on or Under a Surface Made
of Ferrous Material” on page 149.
Security Slot
An EX2300-C switch has a security slot on the right panel of the chassis. You can use
the security slot to lock and secure the chassis in the installation site with a standard
cable lock. See “Mounting an EX2300 Switch on a Desk or Other Level Surface” on
page 129, “Mounting an EX2300-C Switch Under a Desk or Other Level Surface by Using
Screws” on page 131, and “Mounting an EX2300-C Switch on or Under a Surface Made
of Ferrous Material” on page 149.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ports
EX2300 switchesareavailable withor without PoE/PoE+capability. Modelsthat support
PoE/PoE+ provide that support on all RJ-45 network ports. PoE ports provide electrical
current to devices—such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security
cameras—through network cables, thus eliminating the need for separate power cords
for those devices. Uplink ports do not support PoE.
NOTE: IEEE 802.3at class 4 powered devices require category 5 or higher
Ethernet cables.
The remainder of this topic uses the term PoE to refer to both PoE and PoE+ unless there
is a need to distinguish between the two.
Front Panel of an EX2300 Switch
The front panel of an EX2300-C switch consists of the following components:
•
RJ-45 network ports—depending on the switch model, either of:
•
12 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE/PoE+ capability in
EX2300-C-12P
•
12 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports without PoE capability in
EX2300-C-12T
•
One USB port
•
One management Ethernet port
•
Three chassis status LEDs
•
Four port status mode LEDs in models with PoE capability and three port status mode
LEDs in models without PoE capability
•
One Factory Reset/Mode button
•
One mini-USB console port
•
One RJ-45 console port
