Setting up the Switch
See the Cisco ME 3400 and Cisco ME 2400 Ethernet Access Switches Getting Started Guide that shipped
with the switch for instructions on how to initially configure your switch. The getting started guide also
covers switch management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and module connections,
power connection procedures, and troubleshooting help.
For instructions on setting up your switch using the command-line interface (CLI), see
"Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program."
Features
The Cisco ME switch can be deployed as a backbone switch, aggregating 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
Ethernet traffic from other network devices. The switch supports AC power and DC power. See the
switch software configuration guide for examples showing how you might deploy the switch in your
network. All Cisco ME switches have 24 10/100 ports and 2 small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports.
