Product Overview
Thank you for choosing this Cisco Small Business 10/100 switch. This switch
provides non-blocking, wire-speed switching at a speed of 10 or 100 Mbps.
All ports support auto-negotiation to connect your devices at the same network
speed, and auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection.
Each port independently negotiates for best speed at either half- or full-duplex
mode, for up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward
switching prevents damaged packets from being passed into the network.
Front Panel
The LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
System LED—(Green) This LED lights up and remains lit when the switch is
powered on.
LEDs 1-5, 1-8, or 1-16—(Green) Each LED lights up when a connection is made
through its corresponding port. The LED flashes when the corresponding port
is active.
Back Panel
The Ethernet network ports are located on the back panel of the switch.
Ports 1-5, 1-8, or 1-16—These ports connect the switch to network devices
such as computers.
Side Panels
The power port is where you connect the power adapter and is located on the
side panel of the switch. The security slot is where you can attach a lock to
protect the switch from theft and is located on the opposite side of the switch.
Placement Options
To install the switch, either set it on its four rubber pads and place it on a flat
surface, or mount it on a wall using the wall-mount slots on the bottom panel
of the switch.

SD208: The screws should be 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) apart.
SD216: The screws should be 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) apart.
The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the bottom panel of
