Overview CH A P T E R 1 This chapter provides information about these topics: • Setting up the Switch, page 1-1 • Features, page 1-1 • Front-Panel Description, page 1-3 • Rear-Panel Description, page 1-21 • Management Options, page 1-24 Setting up the Switch See the Catalyst 2950 Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions on initially configuring your Catalyst switch by using the Express Setup. Also covered in the getting started guide are switch management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections, power connection procedures for both AC- and DC-powered switches, and troubleshooting help. For instructions on setting up your switch by using the command-line interface (CLI), see Appendix D, "Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program." Features The Catalyst 2950 switches are a family of Ethernet switches that you can use to connect workstations and other network devices, such as servers, routers, and other switches. All models of the switch are cluster-capable, but only some models are stackable. You can use switches with gigabit interface converter (GBIC) module slots to create switch stacks by using Gigastack GBICs. Some switch models can be deployed as backbone switches, aggregating 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, Gigabit Ethernet, and Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) traffic from other switches and network devices. See the switch software configuration guide for examples that show how you might deploy the switches in your network. Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-12 show the Catalyst 2950 switches. These are the switch features: • Hardware - Catalyst 2950-12 switch-12 10/100 Ethernet ports - Catalyst 2950-24 switch-24 10/100 Ethernet ports - Catalyst 2950C-24 switch-24 10/100 Ethernet ports and 2 100BASE-FX ports OL-6156-01 Catalyst 2950 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 1-1
