Navigation, on page 15 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Cisco CBS Series Switch. The Cisco CBS Series Switches combine powerful network performance and reliability with a complete suite of network features that you need for a solid business network. These expandable Gigabit Ethernet switches, with Gigabit or 10-Gigabit uplinks, provide multiple management options, rich security capabilities, and Layer-3 static routing features far beyond those of an unmanaged or consumer-grade switch, at a lower cost than fully managed switches.

This is the more reason SG series switches cannot be stacked with CBS series switches. CBS250 series switches do not have stacking capabilities.

Get To Know Your Switch Feature Support on Hybrid Mode In general, except for the CBS350-48XT-4X, all CBS350 switches that support stacking and have designated uplink ports in their PID can stack natively among themselves, and those that do not have uplink ports, including the CBS350-48T-4X can stack, among themselves, in native mode as well.
Get To Know Your Switch Power over Ethernet Considerations Power over Ethernet Considerations Some switches support PoE while others do not. The switch models that support PoE have a P in their model number, such as: CBSxxx-xxP-xx. If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the following power requirement.

These ports are also commonly referred to as mini 10GigaBit Interface Converter ports. The term SFP+ is used in this guide. • The SFP+ ports (if present) are compatible with the following Cisco SFP 1G optical modules MGBSX1, MGBLX1, MGBLH1, MGBT1, as well as other brands.

Uplink ports on CBS350-8MGP-2X also support Multi-Gigabit speed. In this case, port speed can reach 10Gbps. Most of the cabling deployed worldwide is Cat5e, and previously limited to 1 Gbps at 100 meters. Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet enables speeds up to 2.5 or 5 Gbps on the same infrastructure without replacing a cable.
The following table shows the default settings used when configuring your switch for the first time. Parameter Default Value Username cisco Password cisco LAN IP 192.168.1.254 Configuring Your Switch Using the Web-based Interface To access the switch with a web-based interface, you must know the IP address that the switch is using.

To configure the switch using the console port, which is only supported on ceratin models, proceed with the following steps: Step 1 Connect a computer to the switch console port using a Cisco console cable (purchased separately) or a cable with mini USB connector. Step 2 Start a console port utility such as HyperTerminal on the computer.
Console access also provides additional interfaces for debug access which are not available via the web interface. These debug access interfaces are intended to be used by a Cisco Support Team personnel, in cases where it is required to debug device’s behavior.
