Switch Installation 10/100/1000 PoE and PoE+Port Connections To access an advanced PoE planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator available on Cisco.com at this URL: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp You can use this application to calculate the power supply requirements for a specific PoE configuration. The results show output current, output power, and system heat dissipation.
Switch Installation 10/100/1000 Port Connections Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully support Note IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable. 10/100/1000 Port Connections The switch 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached device.

You can also get statistics from Device Manager, from the CLI, or from an SNMP workstation. Switch POST Results POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does not pass POST. Switch LEDs If you have physical access to the switch, look at the port LEDs for troubleshooting information about the switch.
• Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the port is in error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown. Reenable the port if necessary. • Verify that the power supply installed in the switch meets the power requirements of your connected devices.
