The ports provide PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and ePoE and also provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. The maximum switch power output is either 740 W or 370 W, depending on the switch model. Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.
RJ-45 console interface speeds. If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not require special drivers.
The USB Type A port provides these features: The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you can upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack.

Statement 1008 Warning Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP or SFP+ module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic Caution cable until you are ready to connect the cable.
The automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature is enabled by default. For Note configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com. Caution To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected. To access an advanced PoE planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator available on Cisco.com at this URL: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp...
Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device. Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully Note support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.

Finding the Serial Number Finding the Serial Number If you contact Cisco Technical Assistance, you need to know the switch serial number. You can also use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the switch serial number. Figure 36: 1025-W AC Power Supply Serial Number...
You can also get statistics from Device Manager, from the CLI, or from an SNMP workstation. Switch POST Results POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does Note not pass POST.
Troubleshooting Switch Connections Switch Connections Bad or Damaged Cable Always examine the cable for marginal damage or failure. A cable might be just good enough to connect at the physical layer, but it could corrupt packets as a result of subtle damage to the wiring or connectors. You can identify this situation because the port has many packet errors or the port constantly flaps (loses and regains link).
SFP and SFP+ Module Use only Cisco SFP or SFP+ modules in the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
Troubleshooting Switch Performance Interface Settings Verify that the interface is not disabled or powered off. If an interface is manually shut down on either side of the link, it does not come up until you reenable the interface. Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see if the interface is error-disabled, disabled, or shutdown on either side of the connection.
Troubleshooting Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does not solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on your NIC. You can resolve this by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.
