THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL

STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required

to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not

installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital

devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television

communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its

peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits

controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

CHAPTER

1-1

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Product Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the features and components of the Catalyst 4500 E-series

switches. The Catalyst 4500 E-series switches are the Catalyst 4503-E switch, the Catalyst 4506-E

switch, the Catalyst 4507R-E switch, and the Catalyst 4510R-E switch. The information is presented in

these major sections:

• Switch Features, page 1-1

• Supervisor Engines, page 1-16

• Fan Assembly, page 1-24

• Power Supplies, page 1-25

• System Architecture, page 1-31

Switch Features

The following sections describe the features of the Catalyst 4500 E-series switches:

• Power Redundancy, page 1-1

• Catalyst 4503-E Switch Features, page 1-2

• Catalyst 4506-E Switch Features, page 1-5

• Supervisor Engine Redundancy, page 1-8

• Catalyst 4507R-E Switch Features, page 1-9

• Catalyst 4510R-E Switch Features, page 1-13

Power Redundancy

All Catalyst 4500-E switches offer 1+1 power redundancy, so that in the event of a power interruption

the switch can still operate using power from another circuit. The power supplies can also run in a

combined mode so that chassis can have power from both supplies at once. You will need to use the

power redundancy-mode command to configure combined mode. Redundant mode is the default.

Catalyst 4500-E switches support power supply redundancy only between power supplies of equal

wattage and type. A mix of power supplies is not supported. The second power supply recognized is

placed into err-disable mode.

Management chapter of the software configuration guide. Refer to the appropriate guide for your

software release.

Catalyst 4503-E Switch Features

The Catalyst 4503-E switch (see Figure 1-1) is a three-slot switch designed for high-performance

high-density wiring closet applications.

Figure 1-1 Catalyst 4503-E Switch (Front View)

The Catalyst 4503-E switch supports the Supervisor Engine II+, Supervisor Engine II+TS, Supervisor

Engine II+10GE, Supervisor Engine IV, Supervisor Engine V, Supervisor Engine V-10GE, and

Supervisor Engine 6-E. The supervisor engine has a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that

provides connections between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. Some supervisor

engines use SFP modules for Gigabit Ethernet connections, or X2 modules for 10-Gigabit Ethernet

connections. Refer to the installation note for your supervisor engine for more details on these modules.

Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, local and remote

management, and switch-status monitoring. Slots 2 and 3 are available for switching modules. The

chassis will support up to 24 Gbps per slot for slots 2 and 3, for a maximum of 116 ports with a

Supervisor Engine II+TS, or 96 ports and 2 uplinks for other supervisors.

Switch Features

Supervisor Engine Redundancy

The Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E switches support supervisor engine redundancy.

Redundancy allows a second supervisor engine to take over if the active supervisor engine fails.

With supervisor engine redundancy enabled, if the active supervisor engine fails or if a manual

switchover is performed, the redundant supervisor engine becomes the active supervisor engine. The

redundant supervisor engine is automatically initialized with the startup configuration of the active

supervisor engine. Depending on the configuration this shortens the switchover time from 30 seconds or

longer in Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode, to less than a second in Stateful Switch Over (SSO)

mode.

In addition to the reduced switchover time, supervisor engine redundancy supports these:

• Online insertion and removal (OIR) of the redundant supervisor engine

Supervisor engine redundancy allows OIR of the redundant supervisor engine for maintenance.

When the redundant supervisor engine is inserted, the active supervisor engine detects it. The

redundant supervisor engine boots into a partially initialized state in RPR mode and a fully

initialized state in SSO mode.

• Software upgrade

Load the new image on the redundant supervisor engine and conduct a switchover. This minimizes

downtime during software changes on the supervisor engine.

When power is first applied to a switch, the supervisor engine that boots first becomes the active

supervisor engine and remains active until a switchover occurs.

Redundancy requires that both supervisor engines in the chassis are of the same supervisor engine

model, and that they use the same Cisco IOS software image.

For more detail about redundancy, refer to the Configuring Supervisor Engine Redundancy Using RPR

and SSO chapter of the software configuration guide for your software release.

1. You will need to configure the 1400 W DC input current as appropriate for the model of switch. Refer to Appendix A,

“Specifications.”

Catalyst 4507R-E Switch Features

The Catalyst 4507R-E switch (see Figure 1-3) is a seven-slot switch designed for high-performance

high-density wiring closet applications.

Figure 1-3 Catalyst 4507R-E Switch (Front View)

The Catalyst 4507R-E switch supports the Supervisor Engine II+, Supervisor Engine IV, Supervisor

Engine V, Supervisor Engine V-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 6-E. The supervisor engine has two

Gigabit Ethernet ports and a nonblocking, full-duplex, switching fabric that provides connections

between the supervisor engine and the switching modules. Some supervisor engines use SFP modules

for Gigabit Ethernet connections or X2 modules for 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections. Refer to the

installation note for your supervisor engine for more details on these modules.

Slot 3 is reserved for the supervisor engine only, which provides switching, local and remote

management, and switch-status monitoring. Slot 4 is reserved for a redundant supervisor engine only.

Slots 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 are available for switching modules and provide 24 Gbps per slot for a maximum

of 240 ports and 4 uplinks.

Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. GBICs have SC connectors to

interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For more information about

GBICs, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide. Frequently updated compatibility

information for GBICs, X2s, and SFPs are in documents at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/products_device_support_tables_list.html

When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E, all four

uplinks are active on both Primary (active) and Secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or

two uplinks are active in a non-redundant configuration. This limits access to slot 10 on the Catalyst

4510R to ports 3 and 4 only. You can only use the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module

(WS-X4302-GB) in slot 10 (flex-slot) when a Supervisor Engine V is used.

10-Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only, and are only on the

WS-X4516-10GE, WS-X4013+10GE, and WS-45-Sup6-E. These ports use the hot-swappable

10GBASE X2 optical transceivers. The X2s have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber

(MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable.

On a Catalyst 4510R-E with a Supervisor Engine V-10GE, the user can use either four Gigabit Ethernet

uplinks using SFPs or two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using X2s. The user also has the option of using

the Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously. With this option, the tenth slot can

only support the WS-X4302-GB switching module. On a Catalyst 4507R-E, the user can use the Gigabit

Ethernet uplinks and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks simultaneously.

When two Supervisor Engine V-10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4510R-E or Catalyst 4507R-E switch,

or two Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E, one X2 uplink is active on

both the primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are

active in a non-redundant configuration.

On a Catalyst 4510R-E with a Supervisor Engine 6-E, 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using X2s are the

only available uplinks. Slots 8-10 are intended for Catalyst 4500 classic switching modules only and all

other slots may use classic or E-series switching modules.

When two Supervisor Engine 6-Es are present in a Catalyst 4510R-E or Catalyst 4507R-E switch, or two

Supervisor Engine II-Plus 10GEs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E, one X2 uplink is active on both the

primary (active) and secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a

non-redundant configuration.

SFP Ports

Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports operate in full-duplex mode only and are present on the WS-X4013+TS,

WS-X4516-10GE, and WS-X4013+10GE supervisors, as well as some switching modules.

WS-X45-Sup6-E supervisors can use Cisco TwinGig converters to support two SFPs per X2 uplink port,

for a maximum of 4 SFP ports per supervisor. SFP connectors vary with interface type and may use

multimode fiber (MMF), single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, or copper Ethernet cables. SFPs use LC type

fiber connectors and RJ-45 copper connectors.

10/100BASE-T Management Port

The 10/100BASE-T Management port supports emergency image recovery. The 10/100BASE-T port

supports image downloads from the ROMMON. You can use this feature when the onboard Flash

memory does not contain any IOS images, usually after all images were accidentally deleted from

onboard Flash.

CONSOLE Port

The CONSOLE port has an EIA/TIA-232 RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port allows you to perform

the following functions:

• Configure the switch from the CLI

• Monitor network statistics and errors

• Configure SNMP agent parameters

Fan Assembly

Note For complete environmental specifications, including airflow requirements, see Appendix A,

“Specifications.”

The system fan assembly provides cooling air for the internal chassis components. The fan assembly is

a tray of fans that you can insert and remove from the chassis while the system is on line. The

Catalyst 4503-E fan assembly has two fans and the Catalyst 4506-E fan assembly has four fans, the

Catalyst 4507R-E fan assembly has eight fans, and the Catalyst 4510R-E fan assembly has ten fans. The

fans draw in fresh air from one side and exhaust air on the other side. Catalyst 4506-E airflow is shown

in Figure 1-12, the others in the series are the same direction.

Caution You must install module filler plates on unused switching module slots to ensure proper airflow.

Power Supplies

Note For detailed specifications on all Catalyst 4500 power supplies, refer to the “Catalyst 4507R-E Switch

Specifications” section on page A-3.

A Catalyst 4500 E-series switch can use a 1000 W, 1300 W, 1400 W, 2800 W (see Figure 1-13), or

4200 W (with two inputs, see Figure 1-14) AC-input power supply, a 1400 W DC-input power supply

with integrated PEM (see Figure 1-15), or a 1400 W DC multiple-input power supply (see Figure 1-16).

The power supplies are hot-swappable. If you have power supplies of different types installed in the two

bays, only one will be active and some power features will not be available. The power supply in the left

bay is PS1, the one in the right bay is PS2.

The AC-input power supply has a power cord that connects each power supply to the site power source.

The DC-input power supply is equipped with a input terminal block that is directly connected to the site

power wiring.

Each power supply has an ON/OFF switch that supplies power to the switch. For information on

removing and replacing power supplies, see the “Removing and Replacing the Power Supply” section

Note The 1400 W DC triple-input power supply is not compatible with other power supplies used on these

products, and can only be used with similar supplies. In redundant mode, the two power supplies must

have identical inputs.

The 1400 W DC input power supply (either single or triple-input) may be used with the Catalyst 4500

Series AC Power Shelf. Documentation for the Catalyst 4500 Series AC Power Shelf is at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/

78_15068.html

Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support one power supply and an optional redundant power supply. Each

AC power supply has an individual power cord and status LEDs. Systems with redundant power supplies

will share the load, with each unit providing approximately one-half of the total load. For information

about configuring your switch for redundant and combined modes, refer to the software configuration

guide for your switch.

The Catalyst 4510R-E requires at least 1400 W of input power. (The 1000 W AC and 1300 W AC power

supplies will fit and function in a Catalyst 4510R-E; however, power management may be required in high

density configurations.) Cisco recommends the use of the 1400 W DC, 1400 W AC, and 2800 W AC

power supplies for the Catalyst 4510R-E.

When power is removed from one power supply on a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch that has two power

supplies, the redundant power feature causes the second power supply to produce full power.

To replace a power supply, see the “Removing and Replacing the Power Supply” section on page 4-2.

Power Supply Fan

Each power supply has a built-in fan. Air enters the front of the power supply (power-input end) and exits

through the back. An air dam keeps the airflow separate from the rest of the chassis, which is cooled by

the system fan assembly.

Load-Sharing Feature

When you install and turn on a second power supply on a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch, it provides

approximately one-half of the required power to the system. If one power supply fails, the other power

supply immediately assumes full power to maintain uninterrupted system operation.

Note Load sharing works only when both power supplies in the chassis are the same type.

Power Supplies

When you install a redundant power supply, load sharing and fault tolerance are enabled automatically;

no additional software configuration is required.

Environmental Monitoring Feature

With the environmental monitoring and reporting feature, you can keep your system running by

resolving adverse environmental conditions before loss of operation.

The power supply monitors its own internal temperature and voltages. In the event of excessive internal

temperature, the power supply shuts down to prevent damage. When the power supply returns to a safe

operating temperature, it restarts. If the power supply output voltage is not within the specified range,

the LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL will light. An instance of substantial output overvoltage can shut down

the power supply.

An instance of substantial input over-voltage (greater than –75 V DC continuous) can damage the power

supply input circuitry and can cause it to shut down permanently.

For a 1400 W DC power supply, the main power switch has an input range of –40.5 to –72 V DC, while

the –48 V PoE operates over a range of –40.5 to –56 V DC. The PoE either fails to start or shuts down

if exposed to greater than –56 V DC input. PoE recovers after you recycle input power within the proper

voltage range. If the PoE shuts down due to input over-voltage (greater than –56 V DC), the main

converter section does not shut down.

The supervisor engine monitors the status of each power supply and provides a status report through the

switch software. For more details on how the supervisor engine monitors the power supplies, refer to the

“Environmental Monitoring and Power Management” chapter of the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco

IOS Software Configuration Guide.

1400 W DC Triple-input Power Supply Operational Modes

The 1400 W DC Triple Input SP Power Supply (data only) allows added redundancy by providing

terminals for two DC inputs rated at 15 A and one rated at 12.5 A per power supply.

This power supply has five operational modes depending on the inputs receiving power. When all three

inputs are active, at input voltages greater than –44.0 V DC, the power supply delivers 1400 W maximum

total output. Table 1-8 provides output information for these modes, given a single supply.

Power Flow

Figure 1-17 shows power ingress and flow through the system.

Figure 1-17 Power Flow

Power enters the switch through the power supplies. Several types of power supplies are available,

depending on the power needs for your system and the power type available on your site. All power

supplies provide a 3.3 V circuit (shown as a dash-dot line) to the components on the backplane and a

12 V circuit (shown as a solid line) that is carried over the backplane to the fans, supervisor engine, and

switching modules. Power supplies that support PoE (1300 W AC, 2800 W AC, 4200 W AC or 1400 W

DC) also provide a –48 V circuit (shown as a dashed line) to PoE-enabled switching modules, which is

then available to the powered device connected to the switching module.

Note The Supervisor Engine II-Plus TS has internal DC-to-DC converters that use the 12 V circuit to provide

PoE to powered devices connected to the Supervisor engine only. If your system has a Supervisor Engine

II-Plus TS in slot 1, you still need a PoE-enabled power supply to provide PoE to the other slots.

All Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support dual power supplies, configurable for combined mode or

redundant mode. In combined mode, the switch has available the combined rated wattage of both power

supplies, less some expected efficiency loss. In redundant mode, one power supply provides power to

the system and the other supply is on standby should there be a failure in either the power supply or the

input voltage source it is connected to.

Power over Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support the 802.3af standard for PoE on 10/100 or

10/100/1000 ports, enabling customers to support telephones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and

other appliances. PoE makes it possible to place devices in unique locations without having to provide

new outlets and costly electrical circuits. PoE also enables businesses to isolate critical devices on a

single power system so that the entire system can be supported by uninterruptable power supply (UPS)

backup.

All new Cisco Catalyst PoE switching modules can support 15.4 W of power per port simultaneously.

Not only do the modules support the IEEE standard, including the optional power classifications, but the

Cisco pre-standard power implementation is also supported to help ensure backward compatibility with

existing Cisco powered devices. The modules are compatible with any chassis and supervisor engine.

Most importantly, the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch has the power supplies and accessories to support

15.4 W per port on every port simultaneously in any fully loaded chassis. (This requires an external power

shelf or a 4200 W dual-input power supply.)

PoE Over-subscription

With the advent of powered devices requiring as much as 15.4 W and the different combinations of

power supplies and chassis port densities, it becomes quite possible to over-subscribe the PoE capacity

of the power supplies. This temporary over-subscription typically occurs when a power supply

configured in combined mode fails or when the user has not kept track of the powered devices and plugs

in one too many. The best practice is to design a PoE system in which all devices receive the power

needed at all times. When a power supply is over-subscribed—more power is being drawn from it than

it can supply—the power supply shuts down. There are several ways to predictably manage a temporary

PoE over-subscription:

1. Configure unused ports to never receive PoE. This prevents a user from inadvertently plugging a

powered device into a port and causing problems for other powered devices.

2. Configure ports to be in static mode. This is for ports that have highest priority, such as phones for

executives or wireless access points. If ports need to be disabled because of a power shortage, auto

ports are disabled before static ports.

3. Configure the maximum wattage on ports to be less than the default, based on the maximum power

consumption of the powered device. This disallows devices demanding unexpected amounts of

power and also stretches the finite resources of the power supplies. For example, the default port

wattage is 15.4 W. By configuring a maximum of 7 W, twice as many PoE powered devices can be

supported with the same power supply.

PoE Switching Modules

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers switching modules, power supplies, and accessories required to

deploy and operate a standards-based PoE internetwork. PoE provides –48 V DC power over standard

Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable up to 100 meters when an IEEE 802.3af-compliant or

Cisco pre-standard powered device is attached to the PoE switching module port. Instead of requiring

wall power, attached devices such as IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and other

IEEE-compliant appliances can use power provided by the PoE switching modules. This capability gives

network administrators centralized control over power and eliminates the need to install outlets in

ceilings and other out-of-the-way places where a powered device may be installed.

Although references to “PoE,” “inline-power,” and “voice” power supplies and switching modules are

synonymous, there are only two versions: Cisco prestandard and IEEE 802.3af compliant. Every Cisco

Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis and PoE power supply supports the IEEE 802.3af standard and the Cisco

prestandard power implementation ensuring backward compatibility with existing Cisco powered

devices. All IEEE 802.3af-compliant switching modules can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco prestandard

powered device from an unpowered network interface card (NIC), ensuring that power is applied only

when an appropriate device is connected.

1-34

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 1 Product Overview

System Architecture

All PoE switching modules can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco prestandard powered device from an

unpowered network interface card (NIC) to ensure power is applied only when an appropriate device is

connected. With a Cisco PoE network, administrators can depend on a robust network that is safe to

deploy and simple to maintain.

Deploying PoE on the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series

When the switch is properly configured, implementing PoE is easy when it is used with a Cisco powered

device that supports Cisco Discovery Protocol. All PoE switching modules automatically detect an

attached powered device the moment it is installed. Also, the switch returns unused port power to the

system power budget for use by other devices because it supports the IEEE802.3af optional power

classifications.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers internal power supplies and external power devices for multiple

deployment scenarios. These scenarios include small and large deployments in AC or DC environments

for data-only configurations, and scalability of up to 15.4 W per port for PoE configurations.

The switches share a common power supply form factor. Each Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis is

designed for 1 + 1 power protection while meeting the needs of PoE demands. In addition to power

resiliency, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series includes 1 + 1 supervisor-engine redundancy (Cisco Catalyst

4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E only) and software-based fault tolerance. Integrated resiliency in both

hardware and software minimizes network downtime, helping ensure workforce productivity, portability,

and customer success.

All available Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series compatible power supplies can be used for data-only

deployments, which typically require just a few hundred watts. For deployments that dictate support for

PoE power, Cisco offers several options.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series offers several internal supplies: 1000 W AC (data only), 1400 W AC

(data only), 1300 W (data and PoE), 1400 W DC (data and PoE), 2800 W (data and PoE), and 4200 W

AC (data and PoE). When more than 4200 W of redundant data and PoE are required for a Cisco Catalyst

4500 E-series chassis in an AC-powered environment, Cisco offers an external AC power shelf that

houses two 2500 W AC power supplies. When two power shelves are combined, they can produce

7500 W—the remaining 2500 W supply can be used for N + 1 protection.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series has two DC power options; one is optimized for data-only deployments

in service provider central offices (part number PWR-C45-1400DC), and the other is used for

high-power PoE deployments (part number PWR-C45-1400DC-P).

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series External AC Power Shelf and

1400 W DC Power Supply with Integrated Power Entry Module

The external AC power shelf must be used in conjunction with the 1400 W DC power supply. In addition

to providing power for the chassis, fans, and non-PoE switching modules, the 1400 W DC power supply

contains a power entry module (PEM). The PEM is used to pass additional power to the chassis

backplane, power demanded by the PoE switching modules. The chassis power trace used for PoE is

independent from the one used by the supervisor engine(s), fan tray, and backplane components. The

1400 W DC power supply can accept up to 7500 W DC for data and PoE applications. Up to 1400 W can

be dedicated for data (supervisor engine, fan tray, etc.), while the remaining power is passed through via

the PEM and is used for PoE.

When only one external AC power shelf is used (with two 2500 W AC power supplies), it provides the

1400 W DC power supply with 5000 W of DC power in total. When two AC power shelves are strapped

together, the switch can provide up to 7500 W of DC power (3 + 1 redundant).

System Architecture

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Service Provider DC Power Supply

The triple-input 1400 W DC power supply is optimized for service provider or central-office

deployments. By providing multiple inputs, the service provider DC power supply enables central-office

technicians to customize the output power to meet their application needs. Many central-office

deployments require only a fraction of the 1400 W available in the service provider power supply. Low

current inputs mean technicians can connect the supply to smaller fuses and breakers. The service

provider power supply makes it possible to deploy a Cisco Catalyst 4503-E with a single 15 A circuit.

Likewise, it is possible to deploy a fully populated Cisco Catalyst 4510R-E with two 20 A and one 15 A

circuits rather than a single 60 A connection, which often requires rack rewiring.

Management Flow

Figure 1-18 shows management and status information flow through the system.

Figure 1-18 Management Flow

Each system component has an EEPROM that identifies it to the supervisor engine over a serial

connection on the backplane, which also passes along information like temperature, fan speed, power

draw per slot and port, and port activity. LED status information is also sent to the supervisor engine,

which makes it available to an administrator through a terminal connection or management software.

All Catalyst 4500 E-series switches support:

• Cisco Group Management Protocol, for standards-based and Cisco technology-enhanced efficient

multimedia networking.

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

• CiscoWorks, which can manage critical network characteristics such as availability, responsiveness,

resilience, and security.

• Cisco NetFlow Services. The Cisco NetFlow Services Card for the Supervisor Engine IV and V

support statistics capture in hardware for flow-based and VLAN-based statistics monitoring. This

data can be exported, collected, and analyzed for virus detection and mitigation, network-traffic

accounting, usage-based network billing, network planning, network monitoring, and data-mining

capabilities. Cisco NetFlow Services is integral to the Supervisor Engine V-10GE.

Switching Traffic Flow

All Catalyst 4500 series switches use a shared memory switching fabric. All forwarding decisions, QoS,

security policies and transmit queuing are implemented in the Supervisor Engine. Individual switching

modules are transparent, and only contain simple stub ASICs and PHYs; they do not perform buffering

or local switching. Classic switching modules and Classic IOS supervisor engines have a per slot

switching capacity of 6 Gbps, while E-series switching modules and supervisor engines have a per slot

switching capacity of 24 Gbps.

Frames flow into the switch through interfaces on the switching modules. Each switching module

connects to a backplane that supports a connection of up to 24 Gbps up to the supervisor engine. When

a frame reaches the supervisor engine, and a forwarding decision is made, the packet is sent out a port

on the same switching module, a different switching module, or the supervisor engine uplinks.

Figure 1-19 shows a conceptual diagram of switching traffic flow through the system.

Figure 1-19 Switching Traffic Flow

Over-subscription

Classic Catalyst 4500 Series 48 port 10/100/1000 E-Series Switching modules are 8:1 oversubscribed

and Catalyst 4500 E-Series 48 port 10/100/1000 Switching modules are 2:1 oversubscribed. On both

types of switching modules, there are multiplexing ASIC's which group the front panel ports and

multiplex them to the internal switch fabric. On a 48 port 10/100/1000 Classic Catalyst 4500 Series

switching module, eight front panel ports are multiplexed into a a single, nonblocking, full-duplex

Gigabit Ethernet connection to the internal switch fabric of the Catalyst 4500 Classic Supervisors or the

Supervisor 6-E. On the Catalyst 4500 E-series 48 port 10/100/1000 switching modules, six front panel

ports are multiplexed into a 3 gigabit nonblocking, full-duplex Ethernet connection to the internal switch

fabric on the Supervisor Engine 6-E.

If the data rate received for a port presents a potential overflow condition, flow control sends pause

frames to the remote port to temporarily stop traffic and prevent frame loss. For both Classic and E-series

switching modules each port operates independently so that flow control, or configuration of one port,

does not block or degrade the performance of another port in that group.

The 6 port 2.5:1 oversubscribed 10GbE X2 based switching module operates in a similar way. The six

front panel ports are multiplexed by groups of three into two ASICS, each having a 12 gigabit connection

into the internal switch fabric.

In a Catalyst 4500 E-series chassis with the Supervisor 6-E, there is no performance degradation when

both Classic and E-series line cards are mixed within the chassis. The Classic switching modules will

continue to operate at 6 gigabits per slot and the E-series switching modules will operate at 24 gigabits

per slot.

Supervisor Redundancy

The Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E switches support 1+1 supervisor-engine redundancy

for integrated resiliency. Redundant supervisor engines help minimize network downtime. With the

support of stateful switchover (SSO), the secondary supervisor engine serves as a backup to immediately

take over after a primary supervisor failure. During the switchover, Layer 2 links are maintained

transparently without the need to renegotiate sessions. As a result, business-critical applications such as

Voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls are not dropped. The Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) Aware feature in Cisco IOS

software is also supported, providing the ability to interface with NSF-capable devices and to continue

forwarding packets as routing information is updated upon a supervisor-engine switchover.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Electrostatic Discharge

Note See the Site-Planning Checklist at the end of this chapter to help ensure that you complete all

site-planning activities before you install the switch.

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge is common on Category 5E and Category 6 cabling systems.

Category 5E and Category 6 cables have higher capacitance than Category 5 cables. As a result, Category

5E and Category 6 cables can store higher voltages than Category 5 cables and are more prone to

damaging networking equipment if a differential discharge event occurs.

Unshielded twisted-pair cables can store high voltages. When these charged cables are connected to

networking equipment, energy is discharged into the networking equipment; this is known as

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to withstand

common mode ESD events of up to 2000 V. The design for the common mode event is based on the

expectation that the discharge is delivered to all pins of a port at once. Sometimes, voltage is discharged

to some of the pins of the connector and not others, or to some pins on the connector before others. This

is known as a differential discharge event, which can damage the networking equipment being

connected.

You can take the following measures to prevent ESD cable damage:

• Ground the cable before connecting the networking equipment. You can create a grounding cable

using an RJ-45 patch cable by doing the following:

–

Bare the wires on one end

–

Connect the wires to a suitable and safe earth ground

–

Connect the RJ-45 cable to a female RJ-45 connector

• Briefly connect all cables to the grounded cable before connecting to networking equipment.

• Leave cables from the networking equipment in the distribution closet connected to ports at user

desktops. After you make connections on either side of the cable to networking equipment, the cable

will not build up charge.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are

improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules

consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)

shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to

protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental

removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are

properly seated.

2-3

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Site Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation

• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding

container.

• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects

components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Site Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation

This section provides module power requirements and heat dissipation specifications for the

Catalyst 4500 E-series switches. You should verify site power before you install the switch.

For more information about power management and planning, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring

and Power Management” chapter in the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration

Guide version appropriate for your software.

Knowing the power requirements is useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support

the switches. You should consider the heat dissipation specifications when estimating the

air-conditioning requirements for an installation. For all Catalyst 4500 series switches, supervisor

engines, and switching modules in AC or DC environments see the Catalyst 4500 Series Module

Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

This section provides guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch AC power supplies to

the site power source. Basic guidelines include the following:

• Make sure each chassis power supply has its own dedicated branch circuit.

• Size the circuits according to local and national codes.

• If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, use a two-pole circuit breaker to

protect the circuit.

• Place the source AC outlet within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and make sure it is easily

accessible.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems

• Make sure the AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis are the grounding type. The

grounding conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at

the service equipment.

Four types of AC-input power supplies are available:

• 1000 W—Table 2-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, Cisco part numbers, and

shows the different styles of 1000 W AC-input power cord wall plugs that are available for North

America and international locations as well as the appliance coupler that is attached to the power

supply end of the power cord.

• 1300 W—Table 2-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product

numbers, and shows the different styles of 1300 W AC-input power cord wall plugs that are

available for North America or various international locations as well as the appliance coupler that

is attached to the power supply end of the power cord.

Note For North America, the power cord plug types and appliance couplers on the power supplies

are different for the 1000 W power supplies and the 1300 W power supplies; for other

countries, the plugs shown are the same for the 1000 W and 1300 W power supplies.

• 1400 W—Table 2-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product

numbers, and shows the different styles of 1400 W AC-input power cord wall plugs that are

available for North America or various international locations as well as the appliance coupler that

is attached to the power supply end of the power cord.

• 2800 W—Table 2-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco part numbers,

and shows the different styles of 2800 W AC-input power cord wall plugs that are available for

North America and international locations as well as the appliance coupler that is attached to the

other end of the 2800 W power supply power cord.

• 4200 W—Table 2-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco part numbers,

and shows the different styles of 4200 W AC-input power cord wall plugs that are available for

North America and international locations as well as the appliance coupler that is attached to the

other end of the 4200 W power supply power cord.

The cable part numbers use standard conventions as shown in this example: CAB-L620P-C19-US.

CAB-L means the cable will lock to the outlet. 620P means the cable is intended for a NEMA 220V 20

AMP circuit connection. C19 refers to the appliance side connector shape, rated for 20 Amps. US is the

country the cable is intended for use in.

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Power Connection Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems

This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 4500 E-series switch compatible

DC-input power supplies to the site power source or AC power shelf:

• All power connection wiring should conform to local and national codes.

• DC (–) and DC return (+) terminals are evaluated for use with 1/0 AWG wire (1400W DC supply

only).

• The ground terminal is evaluated for use with 6 AWG wire (10 AWG for the multi-input power

supply).

• DC (–) and DC return (+) wire lugs shall not exceed 0.83 inches in width (0.378 inches for the

multi-input power supply).

• For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated, high-strand-count copper

wire cable. Connection to the DC-input power supply requires one earth ground cable, one source

DC (–), and one source DC return (+). The length of the cables depends on your switch location.

These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from any commercial cable

vendor.

• The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC

power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicate that the cable is a ground cable. Because

there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are

connected to the DC-input power supply terminal block in the proper (+) and (–) polarity. In some

cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This label is a

relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage

between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative

(–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the DC-input power supply terminal block.

Calculating DC Input Current

Complete power usage tables are in the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide. To calculate the

DC input current needed for data and inline power applications, use the following steps (the example

shows the DC input current requirement in a Catalyst 4503-E with a Supervisor Engine II and two

WS-X4306-GB modules, and assumes a DC input voltage of -48 VDC):

Step 1 Add the power requirement for each component in your system.

• Catalyst 4503-E uses 54 W

• Supervisor Engine II+ uses 147 W

• WS-X4306-GB uses 2 X 47 = 94 W

• Total DC input power = 295 W

Step 2 After the entries for all components have been added together, divide that number by the DC input

voltage to determine the DC input current.

• Input current = 295 W/48 VDC = 6.14 A for data only.

Step 3 to Step 5 are for applications requiring inline power. If your configuration does not include inline

power devices, the DC input current is the result of Step 2.

Step 3 If you want to add an inline-capable module (WS-X4148-RJ45V) with 10 inline devices (such as IP

Phones) to your system, calculate the DC output power sent to inline devices.

Ventilation

• 10 X 6.3 W = 63 W for inline devices.

6.3 Watts is correct for a Cisco IP phone. Wattage consumption will depend on the inline device used.

Step 4 Find the DC input power using the DC output power.

• 63/.96 (efficiency) = 65 W of DC input power.

Step 5 Divide the DC input power by the DC voltage input of –48 V to find the DC input current used by inline

devices.

• 65/48 = 1.4 Amps for inline devices.

Step 6 Add the DC input current used by data and the DC input current used by inline devices to find the total

DC input current.

• Total DC input current = 6.14 + 1.4 = 7.54 A.

Ventilation

Planning a proper location for the switch and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is

essential for successful system operation. You should install the switch in an enclosed, secure area,

ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch and control of the environment.

Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system overtemperature

conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to

maintain.

The switch operates as a standalone system mounted in a rack in a secure wiring closet. It requires a dry,

clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment. To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient

airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an overtemperature

condition can occur. The switch environmental monitor can then shut down the system to protect the

system components.

To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and

prepare your site before installation. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient

temperature of 0 to 40ºC (32 to 104ºF). It is essential to keep the area around the chassis as free from

dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from nearby construction activity) as is

possible.

Multiple switches can be rack-mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However,

when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other

equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vent of the

chassis.

Cooling air is drawn in through the right side of the chassis. Keep the right side clear of obstructions,

including dust and foreign conductive material, and away from the exhaust ports of other equipment.

Appendix A, “Specifications,” lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements for

the switches. To maintain normal operation and ensure high system availability, maintain an ambient

temperature and clean power at your site. The environmental ranges listed in Appendix A,

“Specifications,” are those within which the switch will continue to operate; however, a measurement

that approaches the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain

normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they exceed the

maximum operating range.

Site-Planning Checklist

Calculating System Heat Dissipation

To calculate the expected heat dissipation from a switch, add the total amount of power drawn from

power supply by the system's configuration, then divide the total amount of power by the efficiency of

the power supply. Multiply the result by 3.415 to get the system heat dissipation in BTUs/hr.

First example (System without any powered devices):

Note All power supplies have different efficiencies, An average efficiency figure of 75% was chosen.

Second example (same system but this time with one IEEE class 3 device):

Note Although a class 3 device needs 15.4 W to power up, 17.3 W need to be generated from the backplane

in order to have 15.4 W at the switch port. 17.3 W comes from the WS-X4248-RJ45V DC-DC

converter’s efficiency (89%).

Site-Planning Checklist

Table 2-2 lists the site-planning activities that you should complete before you install a Catalyst 4500

E-series switch. Completing each activity helps to ensure a successful switch installation.

Rack-Mounting Catalyst 4500 E-series Switches

Note If you move a supervisor engine from a Catalyst 4500 series chassis to a Catalyst 4503-E chassis or

Catalyst 4506-E chassis, it must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SG or later. Refer to the release note for

software upgrade procedures if needed:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/release/note/OL_5184.html#wp305142

Follow these steps to install a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch in a rack:

Step 1 Prepare for installation as follows:

a. Place the chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table as close as possible to the rack. Leave enough

clearance to allow you to move around the chassis.

b. Use a tape measure to measure the depth of the rack. Measure from the outside of the front mounting

posts to the outside of the rear mounting strip. The depth must be at least 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) but

not greater than 32 inches (81.3 cm).

c. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting posts to ensure

that it is 17.75 inches (45.09 cm) wide. (The chassis is 17.25 inches [43.8 cm] wide and must fit

between the mounting posts.)

Note Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the rear posts. If your

rack has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points. Before

installing the L brackets on the chassis, determine whether to install the chassis from the front

or the rear of the rack.

d. Attach the cable guide, if needed, using the M3 screws provided in the cable management kit. The

cable guide attaches to the L bracket. Attach the cable guide to the right side of the switch to prevent

the cables from obscuring module LEDs.

Parts and Required Tools

Note Some parts and required tools described in this section are not available from Cisco Systems. The

grounding lug and associated screws are included with the accessory kit.

To make an adequate grounding connection, you will need the following parts and tools:

• Grounding lug—The grounding lug has two #10 AWG holes spaced 0.63 in center to center. A

Panduit LCDX6-10A-L or Pencom EL1033 lug may be used if the lug from the accessory kit has

been misplaced.

• Two M4 (metric) hex-head screws.

• One grounding wire (6 AWG recommended)—The length of the grounding wires depends on the

location of your switch within the site and its proximity to proper grounding facilities.

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

• Crimping tool—This tool must be large enough to accommodate the girth of the grounding lug when

you crimp the grounding cable into the lug.

• Wire-stripping tool.

Connecting System Ground and Power

This section describes how to connect the Catalyst 4500 E-series switches to earth ground. The system

ground connection is required if FXS modules are installed or if this equipment is installed in a US or

European Central Office.You must complete this procedure before connecting system power or turning

on your switch.

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad on your Catalyst 4500 E-series switch,

perform the following steps:

Step 1 Using a wire-stripping tool, remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of

the grounding wire.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug (Figure 3-3).

Step 3 Using a crimping tool, secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug.

Removing and Replacing the Power Supply

Installation Procedure

Warning

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.

Statement 1003

Warning

A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Statement

1022

Warning

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building

installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.

Statement 1045

Warning

Use copper conductors only.

Statement 1025

Warning

When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop or

spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and

should clamp both the insulation and conductor.

Statement 1002

Follow these steps to install a DC-input power supply, connect it to a power source, and verify its

operation:

Step 1 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit or circuits on the power supply you are installing.

Step 2 Grasp the power supply handle with one hand. Place your other hand underneath it as you slowly insert

the power supply into the bay (as shown earlier in Figure 4-16).

Step 3 Using a screwdriver, tighten the captive screws on the power supply (see Figure 4-15).

Step 4 Before you connect the power supply to a power source, ensure that all site power and grounding

requirements have been met.

Step 5 Connect the DC-input wires to the power supply terminal block. The proper wiring sequence is ground

to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative (see Figure 4-13 or Figure 4-14 depending on

your installation).

The 1400W triple-input power supply has two grounding posts; use the one that is most convenient for

your installation.

Warning

When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and

disconnected last.

Statement 1046

Step 6 Replace the terminal cover.

Step 7 Connect the other end of the power cords to a DC-power input source.

Removing and Replacing the Chassis Fan Assembly

Caution In a system with multiple power supplies or a single triple-input power supply, connect each power

supply to a separate DC power source. In the event of a power source failure, if the second source is still

available, it can maintain maximum overcurrent protection for each power connection.

Step 8 Verify power supply operation by checking the power supply’s front-panel LEDs. You should see the

following:

• The LED labeled INPUT OK is green.

• The LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL is not lit.

Step 9 Check the power supply and system status from the system console by entering the show power

command. For more information on the commands, refer to the command reference publication for your

switch and software.

Step 10 If the LEDs or the show power command (Cisco IOS) output indicate a power problem or other system

problem, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” for more information.

Removing and Replacing the Chassis Fan Assembly

This section describes how to remove and install the chassis fan assembly for the Catalyst 4500 E-series

switches. See Figure 4-17 for the Catalyst 4506-E system fan assembly, other fan assemblies attach in a

very similar way.

Required Tools

You will need a Phillips screwdriver for the following two procedures.

Removing the Fan Assembly

Warning

When removing the fan tray, keep your hands and fingers away from the spinning fan blades. Let the

fan blades completely stop before you remove the fan tray.

Statement 258

Caution Never operate the system for an extended period if the fan assembly is removed or if it is not functioning

properly. An over-temperature condition can cause severe equipment damage.

Follow these steps to remove the existing chassis fan assembly:

Replacing Backplane Modules

Verifying the Installation

Note To check the operation of the fans, you need to power up the chassis.

Follow these steps to verify that the new fan assembly was installed correctly:

Step 1 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that

the fan assembly is inserted completely in the chassis and that the faceplate is flush with the switch back

panel.

Step 2 The fan tray LED should light and be green.

Step 3 If after several attempts the fans do not operate, or if you experience trouble with the installation (for

instance, if the captive installation screws do not align with the chassis holes), contact the Cisco TAC

for assistance.

Replacing Backplane Modules

There are 5 redundancy modules (also called mux buffers) and 1 clock module on a Catalyst 4507R-E

chassis backplane. A Catalyst 4510R-E has 8 redundancy modules on its backplane. They are accessible

from the front if the switching modules and supervisor engines are removed. There are two types of

redundancy modules, and they are interchangeable.

The clock module replacement procedure is identical to the redundancy module replacement procedure,

the connectors are the same. These modules are not hot-swappable, the switch must be taken out of

service to replace them.

To replace the backplane modules:

Step 1 Make sure you are grounded with an ESD strap.

Step 2 Turn off the power to the chassis.

Step 3 Remove all supervisor engines and switching modules from the chassis, and find the backplane modules

you need to replace.

Note Keep a record of switching module and their slots, so that you can put them back correctly.

Note Generic switching module replacement procedures are documented at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/configuration/notes/gM

dCf_nt.html

Figure 4-18 shows the front view of the backplane with supervisors and switching modules removed.

Step 10 Push the module toward the back of the chassis and make sure it is clipped in by the levers on both sides.

(See Figure 4-24.)

Figure 4-24 Securing the Module

Step 11 Repeat Step 4 to Step 10 for the other modules you need to replace.

Step 12 If you are installing a clock module, secure the module to the backplane using the screws from the earlier

removal.

Step 13 Replace the supervisor engines and switching modules to their previous slots.

Step 14 Restore power to the switch.

Verify the New Modules

After the switch is reassembled and power is restored, connect a terminal to the supervisor engine and

monitor the boot process. Look for the following messages (or any others), which may indicate a

problem with the replaced modules:

00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 3 is not present

00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 4 is not present

00:00:20: %C4K_SUPERVISOR-2-MUXBUFFERNOTPRESENT: Mux buffer (WS-X4K-MUX) 7 is not present

The above messages (either at startup or output from a show logging command) indicate that the

mux-buffer is not present in slots 3, 4 and 7. You need to reinsert and reseat the modules in those slots.

If the switch has already started up, you may also verify the correct function of the new modules with

the show logging command.

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

This section describes how to perform a memory upgrade. You might need to upgrade memory on the

Supervisor Engine 6-E for the following reasons:

• To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory

requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)

• To use very memory-intensive features.

This document describes how to upgrade dynamic memory. The Supervisor Engine 6-E ships with 512

MB and can be upgraded to 1 GB in the form of an SDRAM miniDIMM.

Tools and Equipment Needed

You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install miniDIMMs in a Supervisor

Engine 6-E:

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

• Small flat-blade screwdriver

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

• Antistatic mat

Removing Memory

You will not need to remove the base memory to perform a memory upgrade, but it may make installing

the new memory easier. This procedure presumes you have already removed the supervisor engine from

the switch. To remove an SDRAM miniDIMM:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the

equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the

connectors.

Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM miniDIMM sockets. (See Figure 4-25.)

Step 3 Hold the miniDIMM component-side up, with connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. Keep

the sides of the miniDIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far

edge and opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 4-27.)

Figure 4-27 Handling a miniDIMM

Step 4 Tilt the miniDIMM to the same angle as the socket, then insert the connector edge into the socket. Gently

push into place until the metal clips snap into place.

Caution It is normal to feel some resistance when installing a miniDIMM, but do not use excessive force and do

not touch the surface components.

Step 5 Check the two alignment holds and ensure that the metal clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove

and reseat the miniDIMM.

Step 6 If you are upgrading memory from 512 Mb to 1 Gb and you have removed the miniDIMM in u39, replace

it as in steps 3-5.

Step 7 Replace the supervisor engine in the switch.

Troubleshooting

If your system has problems during start up or operation, use the information in this chapter to help

isolate the cause. Problems with the initial startup are often caused by a switching module that has

become dislodged from the backplane or a power cord that is disconnected from the power supply.

Although temperature conditions above the maximum acceptable level rarely occur at initial startup,

some environmental monitoring functions are included in this chapter because they also monitor power

supply output voltages.

Information about troubleshooting software features and configuration problems is not discussed in this

chapter.

More up to date information can be found in the release notes or Error Message Decoder tool.

Information specific to your software release can be found in the software configuration guide for that

release, or in the system message guide for your release. The following links may be useful in

for your software release.

System Boot Verification

When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:

• That the system software boots successfully

Hook up a terminal and view the startup banner. Use an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable to connect

the console port to a PC with terminal emulation software set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,

and 1 stop bit. Watch for any system messages after startup.

• That the power supplies are supplying power to the system

The power supply’s LEDs should be green. Use the show environment Cisco IOS command to view

power supply activity.

• That the system fan assembly is operating

Listen for fan activity. The Fan tray LED should be green during operation. Use the show

environment Cisco IOS command to view fan tray activity.

• That the supervisor engine and all switching modules are installed properly in their slots, and that

each initialized without problems

If all of these conditions are met and the hardware installation is complete, refer to the software

configuration guide and command reference publications for your switch so that you can troubleshoot

the software.

If any of these conditions is not met, use the procedures in this chapter to isolate and, if possible, resolve

the problem.

Using LEDs to Identify Startup Problems

The key to success when troubleshooting the system is to isolate the problem to a specific system

component. Your first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. All system

states in the startup sequence are indicated by LEDs. By checking the LEDs, you can determine when

5-3

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Using LEDs to Identify Startup Problems

and where the system failed in the startup sequence. If you have problems after the switch is on, refer to

the following subsystem troubleshooting information and the configuration procedures in the software

configuration guide for your switch.

After you connect the power cords to your Catalyst 4500 series switch, follow these steps to determine

whether your system is operating properly:

Step 1 Check the power supply LEDs:

• The LED labeled GOOD should turn green when power is applied to the supply. The LED should

remain on during normal system operation.

• If the LED labeled GOOD does not light, or if the LED labeled FAIL lights, see the

“Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on page 5-4.

Note If a power supply is installed and not connected to a power source, power supply LEDs indicate

a failure.

Step 2 Listen for the system fan assembly. The system fan assembly should be operating whenever system

power is on. If you do not hear it when the switch is on, see the “Troubleshooting the Fan Assembly”

section on page 5-6.

Step 3 Check that the LEDs on the supervisor engine light as follows:

• The LED labeled STATUS flashes orange once and stays orange during diagnostic boot tests.

–

It turns green when the module is operational (online).

–

If the system software is unable to start up, this LED stays orange.

–

If the LED labeled STATUS on the supervisor engine front panel is red or orange, connect a

console to the management port and use the show environment command to check for possible

problems.

• The Ethernet management port LED turns green when the module is operational (online) and a link

is established with another network device. If no signal is detected, the LED labeled LINK turns off.

If there is a problem with the supervisor engine, try reseating the supervisor engine in the chassis

and restarting the switch. For more information about LED meanings, refer to the “LEDs” section

on page 1-22. For more troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines”

section on page 5-10.

Step 4 Verify that the LEDs labeled STATUS on each switching module are green when the supervisor engine

completes initialization.

This LED indicates that the supervisor engine and switching modules are receiving power, have been

recognized by the supervisor engine, and contain a valid Flash code version. However, this LED does

not indicate the state of the individual interfaces on the switching modules. If an LED labeled STATUS

is red or orange, try reseating the switching module or supervisor engine and restarting the switch. For

more information, see the “Troubleshooting Switching Modules” section on page 5-8. If you determine

that the switching module is not operating, contact Cisco TAC as described in the “Some Problems and

Solutions” section on page 5-14.

Step 5 If the boot information and system banner are not displayed, verify that the terminal is set for 9600 baud,

8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit and connected properly to the console port.

System Messages

System messages appear on the console if you have enabled console logging or appear in the syslog if

you have enabled syslog. Many messages are for informational purposes only and do not indicate an

error condition. Enter the show logging command to display the log messages. To better understand a

specific system message, refer to the system message guide for your software release. Most messages

are also documented in the Error Message Decoder tool at:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Errordecoder/index.cgi

System messages specific to the system components are mentioned in the corresponding sections that

follow. If you see one of these messages, use the Decoder tool and follow the suggestion provided there.

Troubleshooting with Software

Many problems can be identified with CLI commands, and following sections will mention them as

appropriate.

Certain problems can be due to not having the right software to support your hardware. For the most

recent software release to get the current recommended version for a particular system component,

please refer to the release notes at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps4324/prod_release_notes_list.html

Troubleshooting the Power Supply

To help isolate a power subsystem problem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Check whether the power supply LED labeled GOOD is on or the LED labeled FAIL is on. (on the DC

multi-input power supply, the LEDs are labeled INPUT 1, 2, or 3 or OUTPUT FAIL.)

Step 2 If the LED labeled GOOD is off or if the LED labeled FAIL is on, take the following steps:

• Ensure that the power supply is flush with the back of the chassis.

• Unplug the power cord, loosen and reinstall the power supply, tighten the captive installation screws,

and then plug in the power cord.

Step 3 If the LED labeled GOOD remains off, there might be a problem with the AC source or the power cable.

Connect the power cord to another power source if one is available. Verify that the source power is

acceptable within the specifications of the power supply.

Step 4 If the LED labeled GOOD fails to light after you connect the power supply to a new power source,

replace the power cord.

Note If this unit has more than one power cord, repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each power input.

Step 5 If the LED labeled GOOD still fails to light when the switch is connected to a different power source

with a new power cord, the power supply is probably faulty. See the “System Messages and Power

Problems” section on page 5-5. You may need to replace the power supply.

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Power Supply

Step 6 If the LED labeled FAN OK fails to light when the switch is connected to a good power source with a

known good power cord, there is a malfunction in the fan that cools the power supply. Replace the power

supply.

Step 7 If a second power supply is available, install it in the second power supply bay.

Step 8 Check that the LED labeled GOOD is on for the additional power supply. Check that the LED labeled

FAIL is off.

Step 9 If the LEDs are not on, repeat the previous procedure to troubleshoot the second power supply.

If you are unable to resolve the problem, or if you determine that either a power supply or backplane

connector is faulty, contact Cisco Technical support for instructions.

System Messages and Power Problems

Check for system messages related to the power supply, and refer to the system message guide for your

software release. You may need to add a power supply or upgrade to a larger one for your current

configuration or verify that the switches are set properly on the power supply. Connect a terminal to the

console port, and look for any of the following system messages (there may be others, depending on the

software release):

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Fan Assembly

If the show module command output shows a message that states "not enough power for module," check

the “Catalyst 4500 Power Supplies” section on page A-6 for the minimum power requirements for the

power supply. There may be a problem with the power source itself.

Power Supply Mixing

The 1400 W DC multi-input supply can not be used with other power supply types, but other power

supplies in this product line work with the other types during an upgrade. If you mix power supplies in

a Catalyst 4500 series chassis, the switch detects the type of power supply in power supply bay 1 (PS1)

and ignores the power supply in power supply bay 2 (PS2) while issuing system messages and showing

the power supply in bay 2 as in the err-disable state in the output of the show power command. When

the power supply in bay 1 is removed, the switch recognizes the power supply in bay 2, and you may

then put a new matching power supply in bay 1. Both supplies should resume normal function.

Troubleshooting the Fan Assembly

Note All fans must be operating or a failure will occur.

Environmental problems may initially appear to be problems with the fan tray. To help isolate a fan

assembly problem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Check the status LED on the fan tray.

• If the LED is off and the rest of the system is functioning, the fan tray is not getting power or is not

seated correctly on the backplane.

• If the LED is green, the fans are operating normally. There may be conditions impairing fan

performance, but they are minimal in impact.

• If the LED is red, one or more fans have failed.

Step 2 Connect a terminal and determine the fan tray status shown by the show environment status CLI

command. The status and sensor columns should say good.

Step 3 Determine whether the airflow is restricted or if the ambient temperature in the room is too warm.

Step 4 Determine whether the power supply is functioning properly. See the “Troubleshooting the Power

Supply” section on page 5-4.

Step 5 Verify that the fan assembly is properly seated in the backplane by loosening the captive installation

screws, removing the fan assembly, and reinstalling it.

Step 6 Restart the system.

Step 7 Verify that all fans are operating. You should hear the fans at system start.

Step 8 If the system is still detecting a fan assembly failure, check for details using the CLI and contact the

Cisco TAC for assistance.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-series redundancy scheme uses removable redundancy modules (also called

mux-buffers), on the passive backplane to switch traffic to the active supervisor engine. There is one

redundancy module per switching module. Redundancy modules and a redundant clock ship standard

with every Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E and 4510R-E chassis. Spare redundancy modules (WS-X4590-E=)

and a clock module (WS-X4K-CLOCK-E=) are available for serviceability.

The following conditions indicate that you may need to replace the redundancy modules and clock

module:

• The switch powers down and stays down for a few minutes to a few days for no clear reason.

• The output-fail LED on the power supplies are red and no power is delivered to the chassis. The

other LEDs on the power supply are green.

• The Status LEDs on the switching modules and the supervisor engine are flashing green.

• CPU Utilization LEDs are flashing green or off.

These system messages indicate a problem with the supervisor engine. Some problems will prevent a

console connection and will not allow you to use messages in diagnosing a problem. If you are unable

to establish a terminal connection and the STATUS LED is red, contact Cisco TAC immediately to order

a replacement.

Problems with redundant supervisor systems are often due to mismatched active and standby supervisor

engines. Redundancy requires that both supervisor engines be the same model, have the same amount of

SDRAM memory and running the same Cisco IOS release. If one supervisor has a NetFlow service card,

the other must as well.

Some problems with supervisor engines are due to backplane connections that are not fully seated. If

removing and reinserting the supervisor engine and then restarting the switch does not solve the problem,

you may need to call Cisco TAC and replace the supervisor engine.

5-12

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines

Useful CLI Commands

Some problems can be solved by resetting the supervisor engine. Use the hw-module module <n> reset

power-cycle command to reset a switching module, or remove and re-insert the switching module,

which resets, restarts and power cycles the switching module. Pressing the reset button on the supervisor

engine causes the software to reload, but does not power cycle the supervisor engine.

Note When you power-cycle or remove a supervisor engine in a redundant system the other supervisor engine

becomes the active supervisor and the ports retain connectivity. In a non-redundant system, all of the

switching modules lose connectivity until the supervisor engine is reinserted and completely restarted.

The show diagnostics power-on command may provide useful information for some supervisor engine

problems.

Not all software versions support all supervisor engines. If you are having trouble with a supervisor

engine, refer to the software release notes to be sure that it is supported by your software.

Standby Supervisor Engine Problems

If the standby supervisor engine module is not online or status indicates “other” or “faulty” in the output

of the show module command or an amber status LED, create a console connection to the standby

supervisor engine and verify that it is in ROMmon mode or in continuous reboot. If the standby

supervisor engine is in either of these two states, refer to:

Make sure that the supervisor engine module properly seats in the backplane connector and that you have

completely screwed down the captive screws for the supervisor engine.

In order to determine whether the standby supervisor engine is faulty, enter the redundancy reload peer

command from the active supervisor engine and through the console to the standby supervisor engine.

Observe the bootup sequence in order to identify any hardware failures. Currently, the active supervisor

engine cannot access the power-on diagnostics results of the standby supervisor engine.

Make sure that these configurations are synchronized between the active and redundant supervisor

engines:

• Startup configuration

• Boot variable

5-13

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines

• Configuration register

• Calendar

• VLAN database

If a software upgrade is performed on both the active and standby supervisor engines, verify that both

supervisor engines are running the same new software image. If the software images are not the same,

upgrade the software image. Use the procedure in the software configuration guide for your release.

If the standby supervisor engine still does not come on line, create a service request with Cisco Technical

Support. Use the log of the switch output that you collected from the previous troubleshooting steps.

Switch Self-reset

If the switch has reset or rebooted on its own, verify that the power source for the switch did not fail. If

you use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS), make sure that the UPS does not have any problems.

The switch might have had a software crash. Enter the more crashinfo:data command to display the

crash information including date and time of the last time that the switch crashed. To display the standby

supervisor engine crash data, enter the more slavecrashinfo:data command. The crash data are not

present if the switch has never crashed.

If the output indicates a software crash at the time that you suspect that the switch rebooted, the problem

can be something other than a hardware failure. Contact Cisco Technical Support with the output of these

commands:

• show tech-support

• show logging

• more crashinfo:data

If you are still unable to determine the problem, contact Cisco Technical Support.

Ports 1/2 and 2/2 Do Not Function

If you have dual supervisor engines in a Catalyst 4507R or a Catalyst 4510R chassis and your ports 1/2

and 2/2 do not function, the system is functioning as designed, which is to have two uplinks operational

at all times. The dual uplinks must also work when only one supervisor engine is present. This means

that if only one supervisor engine is present and is in slot 1, both ports 1/1 and 1/2 are functional. Also,

if only one supervisor engine is present and is in slot 2, ports 2/1 and 2/2 are functional. When dual

supervisor engines are present, only ports 1/1 and 2/1 are functional and 1/2 and 2/2 are not functional.

For more information, refer to the redundancy chapter in the software configuration guide.

Packet Loss

If your system exhibits partial or full loss of network connectivity or packet loss, perform basic

troubleshooting procedures to eliminate the common causes. The common causes include:

• Bad cabling

5-14

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines

• A bad port

• Speed and duplex mismatch

• Network interface card (NIC) issues

If you troubleshoot these common reasons and you are not able to narrow down the problem, follow the

steps in this section and capture the output of commands at each step, then contact Cisco Technical

Support for additional troubleshooting assistance.

Step 1 Power cycle the switch and observe the POST results at bootup.

Step 2 Enter the show diagnostics power-on command to verify the POST results from bootup and determine

if diagnostics fail again. If diagnostics fail again, the problem is most likely hardware. Contact Cisco

Technical Support for further assistance. If the supervisor engine passes the diagnostic tests without any

failure after the power cycle in Step 4, perform these steps:

a. Collect the output from the show tech-support command.

b. Remove all power supplies from the box, and collect the serial numbers, Cisco part number, and

manufacturer of the power supplies.

c. Contact Cisco Technical Support with the information that you collected.

Note If Cisco Technical Support did not assist with the troubleshoot procedure, you must provide the

information in the order of these steps.

Some Problems and Solutions

Module Not Online

Part or all of the module can fail to come online. You may have a module failure if you see an amber or

red status LED or if you see one of these statuses in the output of the show module command:

• other

• faulty

• err-disable

• power-deny

• power-bad

Make sure that the module is properly seated and that you have completely screwed down the module.

If the module still does not come online, enter the hw-module slot slot number reset command. If the

module still does not come online, try the module in a spare slot, swap the module with the slot of a

module that works, or try the module in a different chassis.

If the status is “power-deny,” the switch does not have enough power available to power this module.

Enter the show power command in order to confirm whether enough power is available. For more

information, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring and Power Management” chapter in the software

configuration guide for your software release.

5-15

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines

If the status is “power-bad,” the switch detects a switching module but is unable to allocate power. This

situation is possible if the supervisor engine cannot able to access the serial PROM (SPROM) contents

on the module in order to determine the identification of the line card. Enter the show idprom module

slot command to verify that the SPROM is readable. If the SPROM is not accessible, reset the module.

Enter the show diagnostics online module slot number command to identify hardware failures on the

module. If the module still does not come online, create a service request with Cisco Technical Support

in order to troubleshoot further. Use the log of the switch output that you collected in the above output

and the troubleshooting steps that you performed.

Interface Problems

If you see an error mentioned in the output of the show interface command, the reason could be:

• A physical layer problem, such as a faulty cable or NIC

• A configuration problem, such as a speed and duplex mismatch

• A performance problem, such as an oversubscription

In order to understand and troubleshoot these problems, refer to Troubleshooting Switch Port and

Interface Problems at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a008015bfd6.shtm

Workstation Is Unable to Log In to the Network

If you observe that a workstation is unable to log into the network during startup or unable to obtain the

DHCP address when you have powered up a client machine or rebooted, an initial connectivity delay that

the switch introduced could be the problem. To verify this, check the following:

• Microsoft network client displays "No Domain Controllers Available".

• DHCP reports "No DHCP Servers Available."

• A Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network workstation does not have the Novell login

screen upon bootup.

• An AppleTalk network client displays, "Access to your AppleTalk network has been interrupted. In

order to reestablish your connection, open and close the AppleTalk control panel." The AppleTalk

client chooser application can either fail to display a zone list or display an incomplete zone list.

• IBM Network stations can have one of these messages:

–

NSB83619—Address resolution failed

–

NSB83589—Failed to boot after 1 attempt

–

NSB70519—Failed to connect to a server

The reason for these symptoms can be an interface delay that either Spanning Tree Protocol (STP),

EtherChannel, trunking, or an autonegotiation delay causes. For more information about these delays

and possible solutions, refer to

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a00800b1500.sht

NIC Compatibility Issues

You can have NIC compatibility or misconfiguration issues with the switch if you experience one of

these symptoms:

• A server or client connection to the switch does not come up

• Autonegotiation issues

• Errors on the port

The reason for these symptoms can be a known NIC driver issue, speed and duplex mismatch, or

autonegotiation or cabling problems. For more troubleshooting information, refer to:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a00800a7af0.shtm

If you still have issues after you review and follow the procedure in the document Troubleshooting Cisco

Catalyst Switches to NIC Compatibility Issues, contact Cisco Technical Support for further assistance.

Interface Is in Errdisable

If the interface status is err-disable in the output of the show interface status command, some possible

reasons include:

• Duplex mismatch

• Port channel misconfiguration

• Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) guard violation

• UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) condition

• Late-collision detection

• Link-flap detection

• Security violation

• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) flap

• Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) guard

• DHCP snooping rate-limit

In order to troubleshoot these scenarios, refer to the specific feature information in the Catalyst 4500

Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for your software release.

Faulty Supervisor Engine

If the supervisor engine STATUS LED is red, establish a console connection to the supervisor engine

and enter the show diagnostics power-on command, if you can. If you are unable to get a console

connection or the command output indicates a failure, contact Cisco Technical Support.

If the switch does not boot and fails self diagnostics during the boot sequence, capture the console output

of the startup sequence then contact Cisco Technical Support.

If you do not see any hardware failure in the boot sequence or in the output of the show diagnostics

power-on command, contact Cisco Technical Support.

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Supervisor Engines

Boot Problems

If the switch is in a continuous boot loop, is in ROMmon mode, or does not have a system image, there

is mostly likely not a hardware problem. The supervisor engine operates in a continuous loop if you have

not set the boot variable correctly and you have set the configuration register to 0x2102. For instructions

on how to recover the supervisor engine, refer to the “Recovering from a Continuous Reboot” section of

the document at this location:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_configuration_example09186a008

0094ecf.shtml

The supervisor engine goes into ROMmon mode or fails to boot when the system image is either corrupt

or absent. For instructions on how to recover the supervisor engine, refer to the “Recovering from a

Corrupt or Missing Image” section of the document at this location:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_configuration_example09186a008

0094ecf.shtml

The supervisor engines have onboard system Flash memory (bootflash), which should easily hold

multiple system images. Therefore, have a backup image. In addition to the bootflash, the supervisor

engine supports up to 128 MB of compact Flash in the slot0: device. The supervisor engine also provides

for transfer via TFTP of the image from ROMmon mode, which enables faster recovery of absent or

corrupt images.

Cannot Connect to a Switch Through the Console Port

Make sure you are using the correct type of cable. Make sure the terminal configuration matches the

switch console port configuration—default console port settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,

1 stop bit. Make sure the cable pinouts are correct for your supervisor engine (refer to the hardware

documentation for your supervisor engine).

Cannot communicate with another device, Cannot Telnet to the switch, Cannot communicate with a local or remote host

Follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure the LINK LED for the port is green.

Step 2 Check the cabling:

• Host-to-switch 10BASET connections and router-to-switch 10BASET or 100BASETX connections

typically are made using a straight-through cable.

• Switch-to-switch connections typically are made using a rollover cable.

• For SC- or ST-type fiber connections, make sure transmit (Tx) on one end of the link connects to

receive (Rx) on the other end of the link.

Step 3 Make sure the interface you are connecting to (sc0 or me1) is configured UP (use the show interface

command to check).

Step 4 Make sure the IP address, subnet mask, and VLAN membership of the switch interface (sc0 or me1) is

correct (use the show interface command).

Step 5 To prevent conflicts, make sure the me1 and sc0 interfaces are configured with IP addresses and subnet

masks in different subnets (use the show interface command to check), or disable one of the interfaces

using the set interface {sc0 | me1} disable command.

Step 6 Make sure the host configuration (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, speed, and duplex setting)

is correct.

5-18

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center

Step 7 If you cannot connect to the switch through the me1 interface, make sure the connected device is

configured for half-duplex 10-Mbps operation.

Step 8 If the host is in the same subnet as the switch interface, make sure the switch interface and the switch

port to which the host is connected are assigned to the same VLAN (use the show interface and show

port commands to check).

Step 9 If the host is in a different subnet, make sure the default gateway (default route) on the switch is

configured with the address of a router in the same subnet as the switch interface (use the show ip route

command).

Step 10 Check the status of the port connection—should be “connected” (use the show port command).

Step 11 Check the spanning-tree state on the port (use the show spantree mod_num/port_num command)—if the

port is in listening or learning mode, wait until the port is in forwarding mode and try to connect to the

host again.

Step 12 Make sure the speed and duplex settings on the host and the appropriate switch ports are correct (use the

show port command).

Step 13 If the connected device is an end station:

a. Enable spanning-tree PortFast on the port (use the set spantree portfast enable

command)—PortFast places the port in forwarding mode immediately, bypassing listening and

learning modes (do not use this feature for connections to non-end station devices).

b. Disable trunking on the port (use the set trunk mod_num/port_num off command).

c. Disable channeling on the port (use the set port channel port_list off command)—you must specify

a valid port range with this command—you cannot specify a single port.

Step 14 Make sure the switch is learning the MAC address of the host (use the show cam dynamic command).

Step 15 If possible, try connecting to another port.

Cannot autonegotiate the port speed/duplex

Make sure autonegotiation is configured on both ends of the link (use the show port command)—you

cannot configure settings manually on one end of the link and configure the other end of the link for

autonegotiation. If autonegotiation fails when you connect a client NIC to the switch, check the NIC and

drivers to make sure that autonegotiation is supported.

If autonegotiation is supported and properly configured but you still cannot connect, turn off

autonegotiation and set the speed and duplex manually (use the set port speed and set port duplex

commands).

Catalyst 4500 Power Supplies

Tables A-5 through A-12 list the specifications for the Catalyst 4500 series power supplies, which can

be used in any Catalyst 4500 E-series switch.

Note All Catalyst 4500 series switch AC-input power supplies require single-phase source AC. The source AC

can be out of phase between multiple power supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power

supply because all AC power supply inputs are isolated. Each chassis power supply should have its own

dedicated branch circuit: 15 A or 20 A for North America and circuits sized to local and national codes

for International locations.

For more information about power management and planning, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring

and Power Management” chapter in the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration

Guide version appropriate for your software.

Initial Configuration for the Switch

This chapter provides a quick step-by-step initial setup procedure for a switch.

These steps describe how to do a simple installation:

1. Connecting to the Switch, page C-2

2. Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software, page C-2

3. Connecting to a Power Source, page C-2

4. Entering the Initial Configuration Information, page C-3

Note If you are using a DC power supply, see the “Power Connection Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems”

section on page 2-9 for more information about setting up your switch with a DC power supply.

Note You need to provide the Category 5 straight-through cables to connect the switch ports to other

Ethernet devices.

Note If you move a supervisor engine from a Catalyst 4500 series chassis to a Catalyst 4503-E chassis or

Catalyst 4506-E chassis, it must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SG or later. Refer to the release note for

software upgrade procedures if needed:

Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches Installation Guide

OL-13972-01

Appendix C Initial Configuration for the Switch

Connecting to the Switch

You must use the console port to perform the initial configuration. To connect the switch console port to

a PC, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Step 1 Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port that is

located on the front of the supervisor engine.

Step 2 Attach the DB-9 female DTE of the adapter cable to a PC serial port, or attach an appropriate adapter to

the terminal.

Starting the Terminal-Emulation Software

Before you power on the switch, start the terminal-emulation session so that you can see the output

display from the power-on self-test (POST).

The terminal-emulation software—frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or

ProcommPlus—makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

Step 1 Start the terminal-emulation program if you are using a PC or terminal.

Step 2 Start a terminal-emulation session.

Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default

characteristics:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• None (flow control)

Connecting to a Power Source

Follow these steps to connect to a power source:

Step 1 If you are using an AC power supply, connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power

connector on the switch, and then connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

Step 2 If you are using a DC power supply, see the instructions on how to install the DC power supply in

Chapter 3, “Installing the Switch in a Rack.”

Appendix C Initial Configuration for the Switch

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the

switch functions properly.

POST lasts approximately 1 minute. After POST is complete, the system and status LEDs remain green.

If the switch fails POST, the system LED turns amber.

Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.

If you started the terminal-emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal

displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.

Entering the Initial Configuration Information

To set up the switch, you need to assign an IP address and other configuration information necessary for

the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet. The minimal configuration provided

here does not cover most of the features, it simply allows you to preform other configuration tasks using

a telnet connection from your management network. To configure other features and interfaces, please

refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.

IP Settings

You will need this information from your network administrator:

• Switch IP address

• Subnet mask (IP netmask)

OL-13972-01

Appendix D Module Overview and Specifications

Hot-Swapping Feature

Catalyst 4500 E-series switches allow you to remove and replace switching modules without powering

down the switch. This feature is known as hot swapping.

When you remove or insert a switching module while the switch is operating, the system does the

following:

1. Scans the backplane for configuration changes.

2. Initializes all newly inserted switching modules, notes any removed modules, and places them in the

administratively shutdown state.

3. Places any previously configured interfaces on the switching module back to the state they were in

when they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown

state, as if they were present (but unconfigured) at boot time. If you insert a similar

switching-module type into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count

of the original switching module.

The system runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces. If the test passes, the system is operating

normally. If the new switching module is faulty, the system resumes normal operation but places the new

module in the “faulty” state.

If the diagnostic test fails, the system crashes, which usually indicates that the new switching module

has a problem and should be removed.

Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 15 seconds for the system to re initialize, and note

the current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or insert another switching module.

When you hot swap switching modules, the system displays status messages on the console screen. The

following sample display shows the messages logged by the system when a switching module is removed

from slot 2:

Console> (enable)

2001 Sep 09 12:23:26 %SYS-5-MOD_REMOVE:Module 3 has been removed

Console> (enable)

2001 Sep 09 12:23:44 %SYS-5-MOD_INSERT:Module 3 has been inserted

Console> (enable)

2001 Sep 09 12:23:47 %SYS-5-MOD_OK:Module 3 is online

Console> (enable)

If you use the show port command to query the module before reinstalling a module to replace the

removed one, the system responds, “Module 3 is not installed.” When the module is reinserted, the

system recognizes the module as ready again.

Flashing

orange

The link has been disabled due to a hardware failure.

Off No signal is detected.

2. LEDs labeled 1 through the number of ports on the switching module are the individual port link

LEDs.
