Page 29: Connecting The Switch To The Network
When running cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that you locate power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit. - Page 30 Connect the other end of the RJ-45 rollover cable to the console or to a modem. What to do next You are ready to create the initial switch configuration (see Creating the Initial Switch Configuration, on page 25).
