The getting started guide provides switch management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection procedures, and troubleshooting help. For instructions on setting up your switch using the command-line interface (CLI), see Appendix D, "Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program." Features The 24- and 48-port Catalyst 3560 switches can be deployed as backbone switches, aggregating 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet traffic from other network devices. The Catalyst 3560-8PC and the Catalyst 3560-12PC-S compact switches provide the same Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity and can be deployed outside the traditional wiring closet environment, such as in office workspaces and classrooms. The switches are hot-swappable. See the switch software configuration guide for examples of how you might deploy the switch. For power redundancy, all but the Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-port switches include connections for an optional Cisco RPS 2300 or Cisco RPS 675 that operates on AC power and supplies backup DC power to the switches.

Setting Up the Switch
See the
Catalyst 3560 Switch Getting Started Guide
for instructions on how to use Express Setup to
initially configure your Catalyst switch. The getting started guide provides switch management options,
basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection procedures, and
troubleshooting help.
For instructions on setting up your switch using the command-line interface (CLI), see
Appendix D,
“Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Features
The 24- and 48-port Catalyst 3560 switches can be deployed as backbone switches, aggregating
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet traffic from other network devices. The Catalyst 3560-8PC and
the Catalyst 3560-12PC-S compact switches provide the same Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity
and can be deployed outside the traditional wiring closet environment, such as in office workspaces and
classrooms. The switches are hot-swappable. See the switch software configuration guide for examples
of how you might deploy the switch.
For power redundancy, all but the Catalyst 3560 8- and 12-port switches include connections for an
optional Cisco RPS 2300 or Cisco RPS 675 that operates on AC power and supplies backup DC power
to the switches.
